pip1968 2,490 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 most pups should be interested at that age and wanting to chase anything but it might just be a slow learner and could click at any time Quote Link to post

kps1979 1,308 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 i had a slow starter, just keep getting it out where there is plenty of gear and watching experienced dogs, the penny will drop in the end, i know its frustrating watching other dogs working away and yours is stood next to you not bothered about whats going on, my bitch was like that for what seemed a lifetime, but she is catching plenty now so im happy, 1 Quote Link to post
Huan72 687 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I just read the post carefully and you said that the dog did run once. Im sure the dog will come good with time but it may be worth finding out if the dog had a bad experience when being taken out to run after game. If he did at such a young age it is possible that he has made a negative association! This could be to a vehicle your friend uses to get to the game, clothing, the lamp! Ask your friend to think carefully about the time he did run and if anything went wrong. Just a thought and good luck with the dog, as said before the switch will turn on I am sure.
