running in

[terrier1973 0]

Hi,

 

can anyone help. I have been given a great hunting springer bitch who is great to work.

she has only been used for rough shooting. I want to use her at the peg but she keeps running in.

she is seven years old. is it too late for her?

 

thanks.

Hi terrier1973,

 

Dont believe the old saying you cant teach an old dog new tricks, my first dog which i inherited was 9 years old and everybody said that she was great at hunting ,normally four drives in front lol. But i retrained her throughout the summer From scratch the same way as you would train a puppy only its quicker . I think most people would agree that to stop her from running in assuming she walks to heel of the lead and on ,is to use a check cord and every time she goes to run in stand on the cord and the dog will come to a halt and after a while they generally get the idea
