Puppy Want Come Back

[Dan25 87]

Well iv been having problems with recall with the puppy for a while now but over the last week or so seen some improvement especially when there is no distractions how ever last night took her lamping and gave her first run have to say she ran quite well didn't kill but it but none the less ran to beam and stuck at it and nearly had it apart a water truff got in her way but she came straight back when called slipped her a second time she would not come back and. She just chased other rabbits so ruining the field for lamping anything else in the field a further 2 times she did this is it just excitement or hunting up! Will she get out of it if should I keep taking her or should I hold her back for a month

You have a pup (age?), that won't come to hand each and every time ordinarily and thought it prudent to take it out and show it game, and it wouldn't come back then either? That must've come as a terrible shock.

Without recall, 100% recall, you should not be encouraging this animal to work at anything that its going to find more appealing than your company, back to the drawing board. Food, treats, praise etc. Anyone can expect a few hiccups when entering a pup however to take out an animal whose training is incomplete or flawed is pure folly. imo.

Get the recall sorted before you work the pup pal...atb sesku

Work on her recall and wait for easy rabbits, on easier nights, darker, more wind, softer gowing so she can turn tighter.

 

Good luck & Happy Hunting.
