lurcherman 887 13,080 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 A firm boot in the arse with steel caps on should work,if not try electric shock collar and zap it for 30 sec at a time 1 Quote Link to post

green dragon 701 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Just go back to basics mate . try carrying a few treats in your pocket and lots of fuss when he/she comes back. the worst thing you can do is lose you shit stay calm how old is your dog mate I'm no expert but this work for me good luck mate 1 Quote Link to post

terryd 8,383 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 mine was the same at the start of the season but pick the dogs runs so he catches as many as possible and with plenty of practice they soon twig that getting back means onto the next one. If you can find a good spot or two as well with plenty of action so the dogs back then onto the next quickly as long as its got its wind. Towards the end of the season mine was coming straight back tidy 3 Quote Link to post
Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Duno why people are offering advice still, he's said he kicks the dog. Let him crack on 2 Quote Link to post
terryd 8,383 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 another thing that helped was if it lost a rabbit and I got there quick with in ten yards or so I could call him back to me and didn't really have a choice just to get the routine going Quote Link to post
grompz 703 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 have you tried using a slip lead,hold him in till he spots a rabbit in the beam,then slip if he catches a good result, if he misses get him back on the slip as quickly as possible,do you do alot in the daytime with dog,if you do it will engourage him to use his nose rather than watching the beam.

Shaddy93 840 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 You have to gain the dogs trust, too many people get there dog out of the kennel put it on the lead put it in the truck get to there destination wall with the dog slip it at the quarry get it back in the lead again straight away, that's all good but if the dog thinks as soon as it comes back to it's going to be on the lead for another 40 minutes it won't want to return it will want to make the most of being off the lead, it could be a number of reasons for example are you going out with a handful of dogs? Therefor your dog is only getting slipped once in a while, is there not much quarry around so your walking all night and it's only getting slipped twice so it's trying to find quarry itself? Try going back to basics when you walk your dog in the day let it off the lead for ten minute then get it back on the lead for a couple of minutes before letting it off again so it doesn't think once it's back on the lead it won't be let off again, try going hotspots on your own so your dog gets every slip, All the best Josh 1 Quote Link to post
