Giro 2,648 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Experience comes with time.. Don't slip until you're entirely sure he seen it and is straining on the slip.. I personally give them sitters, that i walk right out to.. Once they can bang them on the seat or are going in the right direction ,then I try and give them longer slips, as time goes on.. Once they click they will run ten meters or one hundred.. Keep going.. Loads of cover and tall grass.. Its harder for them to spot them but once they click they will run the beam and trust there is something worth while at the end of it.. 4 Quote Link to post
Bosun11 537 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 squatters no good too get a dog learning , I beg too differ , but I wont slip until it moves even if you got too toe poke it , a rabbit under a dogs nose is more inviting than one at the end of a beam ,............ Then I never explained right W99.... Don't expect your dog to 'see' squatters as you can, clapped tight, novices 'can' see feck all. When they move is when your dog will see, especially if your controlling that head... Though what they can smell is not whats wanted here if thats what you are referring too...? Squatters 'may' come naturally, though, in some cases they may not... Do we need to go into that detail... Quote Link to post

Do we need to go into that detail... think we're at cross purposes here. i'm with giro . what we mean is the closer you are to the rabbit when it gets on its toes , the better the chance of the dog seeing it and realising the game. under its nose means right on top of it. 1 Quote Link to post

whippet 99 2,613 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 I find that when it lifts from under a dogs head , its on it straight away , like anything , I wave a stick by your head your going too notice it better than me waving it at the end of a field ........ Quote Link to post
Bosun11 537 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Ok ok ok... All I was getting at is that so many folk think that as' they' see squatters, their bloody dog can too and then they stalk the fecker all Ray Mears like, getting ever closer and more excited, staring hard, paying no attention to a clueless youngster at their side.... THEN IT BOLTS... Off like a rocket and your beams right on it AND you slip... BUT your daft youngster is looking the wrong way and takes off in the wrong direction.... Walk the squatter up but slip when your dog has seen and is straining, YES get as close as you bloody well can....! Any more info required gents.... Quote Link to post
