give it the odd slip with another dog when lamping and dont start your dog working in the day time till its properly on the lamp or it might start working up when out at night

Maybe you need a different hobby.

It's a pup. thats what they do. Avoid rabbits for now.

Let him grow up a bit first, then take him places where there's rabbits. On his own.

I've never subscribed to all that bollocks about 'let him see another dog run so he'll know what to do'.

You don't need to.

if you want you and him to become a team then you only need to go out with you and him. When he's ready. And when you're ready.

That makes sense Darcy,back to basics training for a while,man this be patient is hard but i no hes not ready. Going to give him a month off and get his retrieve nailed,

for me, a pups got to be a pup, i like to let them suss all sorts of sights and smell and different experiences young, its all part of growing up, they'll learn when to hunt up and when to look up if they get a variety of stimuli, again for me, at such an important age a month off would take a long time to catch up

It might just be me but i love seeing a lurcher use its nose and hunt up (within reason of course). If they have even half a brain they soon learn the difference from whats expected daytime a whats expected under darkness.

Here's my two penny's worth, quite happy for my dog to use its nose, but if i see something,a quick pssst, "what is it" gets the dogs head up and looking...

nothing better than going out during the day watching your dog hunt then mark for the ferrets then going out at night and coming straight back to the sliip after a miss think having a we bit patience is needed for you to get your dog to that standard
