sounds like to me you are on the right path with what your doing to bring your pup on, not forgeting he is only young and next season he will be perfect age, stick at it and take your time im sure you and your pup will both be walking home with a few rabbits in the bag soon enough

Sounds to me he is on the right track to ruining it. I've never read such a catalogue of basic errors. Running rabbits near tracks, electric fences, shining torch over fences into fields!!!!!

 

Forget the seasons nearly ended mate, that don't count for pups. Your on a farm for fucksake, you have the best opportunity. Wait till the young rabbits are 3/4 grown in a month or 2, get the dog a slip lead and get yourself a lamp. Pick rabbits that you'd practically catch, middle of the field type, they will sit out there if you don't harass them. Walk the dog right upto them or as close as possible. Don't slip the dog unless you know for a fact he has seen it. Make a slight hissing sound as you approach it so the dog knows to look for something. Don't over run it, if it catches one, plenty of praise, call it a night. Build it up to a few gradually always ending on a catch. No more than 3 blanks, if nothing after 3 attempts call it a night. Do the same maybe twice a week through the summer, he'll turn out fine.

I am not a 'he', I'm female. Lol And the rabbit wasn't near the fence when I slipped him on it Thank you though that is sound advice and I will follow it

 

Thanks everyone for your input. I won't over do it, I'll go steady. He is primarily my pet, but he has such a great trainable attitude that I thought it would be nice for him to do a job and I don't want to let him down, just try my best for him.

 

Thanks again

I did wonder if you were female when you mentioned the horses. If your needing shown the ropes give me a shout I'm a good horseman too

babe magnet baw one sniff and he is on it

early doors yet.......give it time..... Prick

I gotta be honest, the banter you two have between you has me in stitches! , and is better than half the usual posts on here lol

Lol cheers mate, I wish it was banter, trotter really is a prick
