Trainimg info

[cowboy1403 1]

Hi all

 

bit of training info required please.

 

got a young jack russell pup dog that i want to train for a bit of ratting and rabbiting.

 

the dog is only 13 weeks old and is aready start to follow basic instruction well (sit stay and fetch)

 

he has a fave toy that he likes to chase and bring back to me and will drop at my feet maybe 7 out of 10 times.

 

he will search for it if i throw it and hide behind my back.

 

now for the question.

 

i`m in no hurry it take as long as it takes

 

do i keep doing what i`m doing untill the pup does retrieve to me every time with his toy or do move on to something else.

 

if move onto somthing else for him to fetch what is best.

 

thanks for any help offered

Hi but a JR aint no retriever but they will but when you get him into rats he will have to learn quick to kill ASAP or get badly bitten by the rat. It will come naturally to kill/shake & look for the next target as they go mad for it & you normally get a few rats together.

hi i trained 2 cocker spaineils and the best you can do is leave your dog until it at least 11 months old mate.

all you need to do till then is get him to come back to you forget the rabbit hunnting

 

he is to young all you wil do is wreck the dog he is not fully grown and when he chases them he can keep up and wil wine and you try and stop that wait til he is fully grown and he will learn more.

i been told best to lose one year with a dog and not the next 8 just take you time and listen to your dog in time you will no what i mean

i think i know what your saying he has a very good kill instint he has a toy cat that is the size of a rabbit (not as heavy)but the first thing he does when he gets it is to grab the neck and give it a good flick.he has done this from about 6 weeks when we got him.might try him for pigeons to.

like i said i`m in no hurry to get him out catching or anything like that but as i`m starting to train him now i want to start training in the right direction.if that meens carrying on with his toys for the next 10-11 months then thats what i`ll do.and this is the advice i`m after so thanks for that.

my father had 4 jack rustels mate some of the best we had one that was no good for him he give up on it at 9 monthws old i had him by the age of 2 he was the best dog we ever had it is just time thats all.

let your dog play and have its pupy hood then when its ready you will no.

leave it for a year take it out with others let it see whats going on and you want go wrong you will end up with a dog that will tell you when the rabbits are there not you tell him.

 

i no people that send there dogs it=nto bushes all the time mine want go in and tell you why they no there is nothing in there.

when there is they look at me as if to say one in here lets get it.

 

i take them with the ferret we get to a waren and i look at my dogs and if they dont bother with the holes i want ferret it and when there is rabbites in there i cant get them from it . you will see all this when yours is older.

yes your right mate people today get dogs think wow thats a good one ripping a hole apart lol waste of time.

 

i have spent 2 years with mine he is quiet tells you when there is some thing in the hole ( some times makes a mistake all dogs do)

but i have took the time to look at him listen to him and its worked him and my ferrets are so so good they would go on there own if they could drive.

all dogs are different when you take your dogs out every day you get to see what they can do watch them and you both learn together.

 

had working dogs all my life and i can say this if any one has a good dog it will never ever be for sale.

i had my first cocker 3 years ago took him out every day he bit his lead 4 times at the age of 6 months i said to my self fxxk this did not putt him on it and he was happy wak=lking next to me.

 

at the age of 18 months i could go in the garage get my ferret box and away we go he worked the hedges and marked the holes when i take the air gun out he stays near me until i shot it then goes and gets it i did not tech him to do this its like he noes

[phil1964 1]

i think your dog is to young to start training just yet . get him used to the lead first and sit on comand and stay . thats all he needs to learn for now . but if you do want to start training then do it in small lessions only 5mins aday and keep him on the same lession untill hes picked it up then move on to something else and conbine the next lession to the last one hes just got used to i have 3 springers one is just a house dog who does what she wants half the time as she the wifes dog . my dog is trained and i did start training the basics when he was young . my other springer is 9 months old and i havent even started training him yet . ok he knows the basics sit stay but thats it .

good luck with it . its great fun teaching them .have lots of Pashents and your get there in the end
