cúagusgiorraí 57 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 If its dead what difference does make. The dogs like it so let them have some fun. I would see it as a reward. If we werent there to hold them back, thats what they would do, so why interfere? Quote Link to post
Guest pip Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 like if you played your heart out in a game for 90 minutes and your reward was ,extra time?i want the dog to think all it has to do is hold it till i break through no matter what, and then it's done it's duty and gets it's reward,a rest?? B IN 11 SEASONS OF DIGGING IV E ONLY LET THE TERRIERS HAVE A RAG ONCE OR TWICE,POINT BEING IS THE EARTHDOG NEEDS TO GET IT INTO HIS HEAD THAT HIS JOB IS IN THE GROUND.PERSONALLY I THINK IT ENCOURAGES DOGS TO LEAVE QUARRY IN A HOLE AND COME OUT IN CASE ITS MISSING SOMETHING,DIFFERENT WAYS BUT I GUESS THATS WHY WE IRISH HAVE BETTER DOGS NOWADAYS Quote Link to post

whip 1 Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 don't suppose there's a right and a wrong,just a matter of preference. sheep dogs herd and chase sheep all day but they don't get to eat them, they still come out keen to work the next day. Quote Link to post
