Yapping Problems.

[joshc123 45]

So i picked up a 3 year old first x collie greyhound of a lad i know in the week heard good things about the dog so i thought id have him, so last night i went out local just to try the dog, it wasnt really the weather for it but was dark enough just didnt have the conditions i would of liked, but i couldnt wait so i went so i got in the first field spotted a rabbit he cracked on to he set out in persuit of it he got close so i was quite happy at this point when he turns it then the f****r let out a yap not very loud but he did yap he turned i again then the rabbit somehow got away and hit the bush the dog run flat out into the bush and lets out another yap, im quite disheartened by this point but i thought id slip on one more to see if it was a one of, so i spot another one in a few feilds over the dog cracks on again and off they go again he's right o the rabbits tail when it its the bush and he yaps again, any advice on stopping this problem would be highly apreciated lads, cheers.

you will not be able to stop it could be the dog needs plenty rabbits putting in front of it easy catches not long slips and it might be the reason the other lad let it go i could live with a yap on the edge dog needs giving a chance before it goes on the lurcher merry go round atb

Yup you typed what i was typing but trotter is right give him a chance and maybe if he had a few easy ones he may not yap but i do think this is why they parted with him in the 1st place

At three years old i dont think you will stop it either and as said what did the other guy get rid of it for ? didn't you see it run ?. sounds as soon as the rabbits putting pressure on the dog its giving out a yelp fine if your legit

yeah mate more than likely fuckers didnt say nothing to me about the yapping when i was putting him in the boot, other than the yapping im happy with him.

They is screaming the place down and they is yapping..the odd yap of frustration is not too bad and as stated above you will have little chance of stopping it at 3yr old..(that's the problem with buying a adult dog in)..personaly if it was my pooch i would try to get as many easy bunnies in one night as you can..you might find it stop's the yapping once it's settled down and got rid of all that pent up energy and excitement..

Pity it wasn't the ferreting season, a few days watching the rabbits hit the nets, may settle her down but at 3 years she will be settled in her ways, and would be difficult

My Wee Whippet X Bedlington, only gave a few yips when running through a wood, any other time she was totally silent, she did this till the day she stopped working.

wasn't a scream just the odd yip.and didn't stop her catching in woods.

A few yips whilst lamping i could live with that, as long as the Dog caught.

Its when they yip and don't catch.

Know mind you i never used one in the field but try a barking collar in the kennel ok so the dog doesnt bark and then if u try bringing them out for a run of a rabbit they shouldnt bark if they dont like the little shock id try this in the kennell first then the field and after a while you wouldnt need it only a normal collar,Mind you it might stop the dog chasing but thats a small chance i doubt it cause they all get hit wit eletric fences and it dont stop them..give it loads of short slips, that dog was given 2 many hard rabbits and its half broke!

u can set them to vibrate,they use them on gun dogs for ranging out gun dogs be goin 2 far and bang they turn them back around,in the kennel on vibrate it stop them baarking fine..so dont see why its not worth a try\,wats your bright idea so?

a mates dog gives the odd yap on the 1st bunny or two at the start of the night and then settles into work mode.......it could be excitement or frustration, i'd forget about lamping just now, light nights big moon and hard ground........make the dog your pal, go mooching, a wee bit of retrieving or jumping practise and the like.....september dark nights and green rabbits arn't that far away atb

[leaky 1]

once they start yaping its hard to stop them in my opinion

my dog does the same on its first slip then runs silent after that,but his other quallities make up for that as hes a good bushing dog and will find rabbits excelent recall and jumps fences chasing so hes staying for life
