Just because his nose his down it doesn't mean he will hunt up.

 

What's his recall like in the day?

 

My pup is 5 months and got a great nose. Loves having her nose down and going off on a scent.

 

But one whistle and she's back by my side. I can't see her being any different just because it's dark.

Before last night he was interested in watching the dogs and the beam,last night though was just interested on the sent,head down and pulling like a twat,just want him using his eyes.

the guy was just meaning do you want to hunt during the day as well eat plenty of carrots they will help you see in the dark BROTHER

Dog might just be a bit frustrated mate watching the other dogs run the beam, you can do too much of that I reckon, pups just getting bored and looking for a way into to the action maybe?? Best of luck mate anyhow.

That was my thinking,keep him away from the bunnies for a while,i was told this. Finding it hard now to be patient,start slipping him on a few in new year,

try holder the lead tighter no letting its head go to the ground personally i like to get the dog out ferreting first season or two to calm the dog down a bit good luck with it

[jwhizz420 177]

Carrots mmmmmmmmmm lol,hear you bro,just having a bit of banter,don't be so sensitive,we need a heroooooo,

[jwhizz420 177]

I not got patient for ferrets,too cold for me,i freeze if i stand still,and me dog crys

I got told when a dog hunts up the best thing to do is not take it out during the day. Don't know if any truth in it.

[nothernlite 18,077]

dog should be clever enough to no the difference but in some cases dog doesnt get a chance with the amount of nuggets thats got dogs
