stock training

[Paul in North Lincs.]

My relativley newly aquired lurcher is coming on nicely, and generally works very well.

 

I'm having a problem with it though... It won't stop nailing our chickens and wildfoul that rome free.

 

When stock training he's very good, but seems to be a bit of an opportunist, as soon as your out of the way, he's away with a bird.

 

As you may recall I was unfamiliar with the dogs background, as it was a stray which we believed was a lost courseing dog.

 

Is it possible that I will be unable to iropn out this annoying traite, or does anyone have any novel idea's on how to stop him doing it??

Paul would you be willing to try an electronic collar program on him?

unless you can chastise him for this right away you'll be wasting your time mate, the dog needs to understand what he has done wrong so you'll have to catch him in the act.

This annoying habbit is probably the only failing the dog has, so yes I would effectly try anything........ What are the principles behind the collar??......give it a zap until it stops doing it?

 

 

I suppose the easy option would be to take away the temptation and get rid of the birds, but this is the last resort.

As a general outline of how it is down read here:

Insert the word chicken in your case. I would modify it somewhat in your case , so if your decide this is what you want to try let me know and I will send you the modifications.
