Rabbithunter 456 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 ferret king... you say you wont have them marking....... theyll soon learn when they lose a rabbit into the next warren,,,, and then your gonna get problems with hunting up on the lamp..... thats only my opinion dont they loose rabbits down warrens when lamping or when out in day anyway correct... but in my own PERSONAL experience :- (FIRST DOG) ;- didnt encourage daytime chasing. He came back to me on the lamp soon as he missed. SECOND DOG: i ran her daytime rabbits..... she hunted up on the lamp. im not the best DOG TRAINER in the world, that i will hold my hands up to..... but my own PERSONAL past experiences speak for themselves Quote Link to post

Giro 2,648 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Different ways... I aint the dog whisperer i took my dog on the lamp when it missed i turned the lamp off and called it back it came straight back.. Took it ferreting in the daytime and just let it watch and gave it a few slipped rabbits.. I had a good level of obedience before may dog even seen game.. The bond with the dog is what I found helped me my dog want to to please me not its self... But what i found was from the very beginning and i never even encountered problems was go on dark nights by yourself no mates or other dogs when your dog misses knock the lamp straight off. This was what i did it worked for me my dog has never messed about or been head strong so i have had it easy... i know a loads of boys who work there dogs day and night.. Loads of miles more experiance people on here that can help you i am just a sappling myself.. Quote Link to post

Guest smashygadge Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 i dnt have loads of experience 1 year to be precise and i did same as u with lamp training and worked to good effect,but what ive found starting him with the ferrets long before lamping worked a great deal and now he does both well barring the od ones he will miss as they do he is 12 month and on lamp i can have him beside me no lead lamp one rabbit if he misses shine straight on another and if he takes that straight back to hand and i dont have to walk up and down a fielfd looking for a run the lamp does that and dog follows every movment untill it switched off then back 2 hand so i think u can have a day night dog Quote Link to post
