deer trouble

[blando 0]

Hi, I am asking this question for a mate, he has a beddlington whippet X collie greyhound (he will be on the forum soon) when I go out ferreting with him, more often than not his dog will pick up the sent of deer hunt them down and start coursing them and sometimes catching them, which for him is very frustrating. It is a brilliantly well behaved dog and can be called away from anything els it chases. I think his biggest worry is the dog getting hurt. Would it be worth borrowing a shock collar to stop this, do they work?

Thanks all the best rory

i read somewhere that somone used an electric collar for the same problem but on sheep. They said it worked in three training sessions i think.

Tracking down deer, coursing and catching them, stick him in the classified section and solve your mates problem I'd work on obedience away from the filed but yes, electric (please don't call them shock :whistle: ) collars do work if you have TIMING

was so funny one time we were walking through some posh blokes estate and we bumped into him with the dogs, he was really interested and asked what can she catch can he take deer and my mate said yeh with some hesitation lol, and one popped out the woods and he gave him permition to run it on it and the dog took it down after a bit of a run, the bloke was amazed and said we can come back anytime (it was al accidental of course) a few weeks later he got himself a lurcher don’t think its taking deer tho lol
