Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I don't know how electrocuting a dog could encourage it to come to you Has anyone succeeded in using a shock collar for this purpose? 1 Quote Link to post

Dranny GLC 112 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Iv tryed hot dogs, cheese, peperami, ham,cicken, when I'm out in day staight back once slipped in field he's not in trested in food. My thinking is with the collar is zap him when he hunting up and stop when he comes back hopefully he will realise that the pain stops once he starts to come back to me and ill give he loads of praise when he does come back. ?

Do you feel like your the dogs best pal and have properly bonded with him? Ecollars imo have there place but there a last resort and even so I'm not looking to cause the dog any pain just break focus for a split second and usually the vibrate setting is usually enough to do this.

Dranny GLC 112 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Yes I av got a good bond with him durin the day this recall is perfect but I can't get near him when lamping he just won't come back till he wants to. Till he has scared everything away. I might not av the understanding on how to use a ecollar but I really am losing my rag with him, this is his 3 season with me and should be getting to grips with what we do, there 4 off us that go out and none of my mates dogs do it. It's not like I can work his recall because he comes back everytime in the day and on a night where there's no rabbits. But once there's rabbits he off Quote Link to post

paulf 820 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 have you tried him on your own ,without the 4 of you and there dogs..? Quote Link to post
Westy76 546 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Ok so your losing your rag already has he had a clump when he finally come back on the lamp? There isn't a cut off time for good recall it good or it isn't and it sounds like the dog feels he can do a better job than you of putting game in front of him. Do you always go out with your mates and is this pride getting the better of you? The easiest thing to do is bury the dog buy another and try again but what have you learnt.....nothing. The dogs not a new one so some of this must've been learnt and to turn him around will take time as gaz1989 said on a previous post took 6 months to train his to a decent level. Quote Link to post
Dranny GLC 112 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 No I don't hit him I just didn't run him again. It is embarrassing that he doesn't come back on a night because he does during the day. I av taken him out by himself but its just the same. Lamp on rabbit chase it if he gets it kills and drops it in field I go and get the dead rabbit then look for him and he's running down other end of field. I shout him to recall like I do everyday when out walking him but he continues running about,or he final comes back, but sits or stands about 10 yards away from me till I walk after him again and put him back on the slip.
