Lloyd90 Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 stop whistle training. Mine used to do the same. When she ignored the whistle or hup command Id follow her to the other dog, grab her scruff and drag her back with front paws raied off the ground to the spot where she ignored the whistle or command, sorted it right out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babushka Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) My dog is very hesitant at coming back to me at times,it looks as if i've been bad too him.He's six months now,he just wants to play,he won't retreive now at all,any where he can smell rabbits he is worse..He's a labrador border collie cross.

Dave85 Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 I had similar problems with my 6 month old ESS. Was fine off the lead until she walked right up onto a hare. My own fault really! Ive got some land near to my house that is fenced off where i train her off the lead and that is going to be the only place she will be allowed off in the short time. At least then if she does decide to play up i can grab her quick and correct her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
