cantona 310 Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 With a cocker would it possibly ruin it for bushing to lurchers if I keep it away from rabbits and concentrate on healing it of the lead ? 1 Quote Link to post

Do you mean getting it to a decent level of obedience before entering it? I'd say that was definitely a good idea if you want to keep any sort of control of it when it hunts,and wont ruin it.

cantona 310 Posted August 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 There's more experienced folk, but..mines a cocker terrier quite cocker minded and I let mine make all he could of his quartering before doing any heel work, and I'm glad I did as he's a biddable little thing so although I need to refresh some of his training he's 12 months now and its all coming together nicely. Atb Joe cheers joe, I will get basic obedience done then maybe if recall to whistle is decent then see how far ahead he hunts up before heeling of lead? Quote Link to post
