jcm 2,327 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 For me i'd more so say he was not mentally ready. I would also take him on his own when re start. Dogs out together add more intense reactions from dogs. The added tension on lead waiting his turn to chase is building up and then on the pursuit it all coming to much. There only so much fitness you can do before work is only option to progress. I'd lamp him in larger fields. Get him right on top of them then slip as they lift. In big fields it gives him time to catch out in field and stay on turns of them. Alot come good once they start getting fur in there mouth. If he was more experienced and started yapping that would be more of a harder problem to solve imo Thanks for that input it make sense Quote Link to post

jcm 2,327 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Is this the first time he's yapped/barked while chasing? Has he done much up until now? I would give it a couple of months off the game say until late Sept, keep it fit though, walking, bike work and ball work [retrieving]. When you do take it out again take it out by itself, just you and it. I have never seen the advantage of taking another dog out with a pup especially when it sounds as keen as yours [spinning about on end of lead as other dog's running]. The pup will only be getting frustrated watching the other dog run and I don't think it helps a pups retrieve one bit if another dogs on the scene. Remember there is no rush in getting a pup started, far better to give it a bit more time than to rush into it. Saying all that it might just be that the dogs a yapper, some are and it's got nowt to do with fitness, frustration or tiredness, if it's in it, it's in it as they say. He has done it before but not as intense but at the time he was no where near fit Quote Link to post

JAE B 545 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Imo once they start there's very little chance they will stop, you might find he'll do it less the more he sees but once it gets under pressure again and things ain't going he's way he'll open up , you can try holding him back, easy slips ,easy rabbits etc if mine I'd get him real fit and put plenty in front of him this season and see what happens , some can live with it some can't atb with himagree mate ?

Dunkanon 380 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Got to agree with the few comments on here saying some do it and some dont and the ones that do are liable to do it again no matter what you try, thats my experience anyway....Ive got one here, pisses me off when he does it...usually first few runs he lets rip..like hes completely over excited, once hes caught a couple he settles down and shuts up....but othertimes its definately frustration, out mooching daytime he might put up something bigger and if hes out his depth and outmatched he will yap in frustration....what can you do, either live with it and accept the dogs got his faults or get rid. Me, i put up with it with this one but i dont think I would keep another like that. Quote Link to post

WILF 46,645 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 First season I take it ?......no need to give him seven runs if he caught the first IMHO 1 or 2 and home and work up from there, easy as you can find them for him, kick up, catch and back in the car. 2 Quote Link to post
