Dog Won't Come Back.

[paulus 26]

what happens if you run her with a dog that does come back when the lamp is switched off

Old local lurcher fella told me not to use the dog off the lead to mooch in the daytime until it was working well on the lamp when I first got mine, said it would stop it hunting up at night. Seemed to work..

sounds like a good tip that, sort of to let the dog know, you're in control and to let them off when its time to work, then back on the lead?

 

seeing a few of the replies its not surprising the rescue centres are chocked full. Binning a dog off because its got poor recall..? crazy.

So if your just aving a daily walk about through fields do you let a puppy walk free or keep it on a lead or a bit of both.

I'd give him 5 minutes if he didn't come back up the road I'd be and he may stay hunting up for himself don't no about you I'd grow very tired of this carry on. Sell him mate try again jus gna stress yourself out. Atb

Sell him because he's got poor recall?

Yes

I spent 6 months teaching my bitch recall on the lamp.

 

I feel a right wanker now. I could of just sold her

 

Now you no for next time

I'm sure selling the dog to someone who has the time to teach an old dog new tricks is better than leaving the dog in the field altogether?

Pups is 5 months old whippet greyhound

Yeah if those are the only two options it is the lesser of two evils I do agree. But why isn't there a third option, spending time teaching the dog, is it a work thing? I see you live in London have you got no time? Life too busy etc. I'm a country lad so can't understand not putting time into a dog/sport. Went to London once and nearly had a panic attack.

5 months give it a bit more time bit young to take out lamping f--k me is there nobody stay round about you to put you wise

I no pal I won't be lamping my pup for at least another 6 months at least not until his training is 100%. But I was asking if you walk them on lead or off lead

[Ideation 8,216]

Yo yo!

[birddog 1,354]

my way of teaching a pup to lamp starts when they're young......local football pitch or the like in darkness, no scents or distractions a torch and a fav toy working up to multiple toys / dummies pre placed when they're 100% on this i introduce a dead bunnie that they've already seen in daylight for me this learns recall, picking up sitters, retrieve, running the beam lots, but i'm never in a hurry, young dogs and pups are a big investment be cool and take your time

Dog just done it again, got a pocket full ov bacon walked on to football field let him off the lead he had a walk about and was coming staight back as soon as I called him, went into another field same again straight back to me ad some more bacon, then I got him on slip as I no there rabbits in next field, there were about 6 rabbits in field I picked one out put my lamp on it and slipped him he ad a good run turned him about 5 times and just got away in to the hedge. I switched my lamp off and called him back. He didn't come back for about 5 minutes I was calling him and putting lamp to my feet but still wouldn't come he finely came back and I give him some bacon for coming back, he did this in another 4 fields same thing happened everytime but I kept my cool and rewarded his return with some bacon,
