ferretingnewbie 66 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 My dogs are both pets, Never trained them to do anything hunting wise. Why will 1 of them do anything to find a pheasant? he can find them like a needle in a hay stack. Just runs off as soon as he has the scent of 1 and won't come back until he has done what he wants to do yet a rabbit can run in front of him and he won't take a blind bit of notice? Any ideas how to stop this? He has perfect recall everytime apart from pheasant Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ferretingnewbie 66 Posted March 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 It's not that bad it's just annoying if I don't want him to run off until he's ready to come back. Sorry I should of been more clear I don't want him to chase rabbits either I just ment other animals can run in front of him and he doesn't take a blind bit of notice , pheasants just seem to be what he's after. Hopefully he will stop 1 day. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

air gun ant 1,666 Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Bonnie looking dog mate, how old? Just get him out on his own, and get a whistle. Walk him on the lead and randomly just stop walking and give a toot on the whistle. Not to often or it will just become a noise to him, praise when he stops etc then when he has that,try a long lead and you can bring in the recall aswell if your not wanting him for shooting? I do one toot on the whistle to stop and then to short peeps to come back. Stop means stop and look at me and then two peeps is come back, I don't really need much else and I shoot over mine lol I think the stop whistle is far more important than any other command. I don't give a toss if mine sit lay down or roll over, I just want them to stop when I say and come back when I say I'll probably get slated for this but it's just my opinion lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
