my son as took jasper out, he as rang me to say a bird as fell out of a tree near to death, jasper as picked it up and wont let go of it, he is not biting it he is just holding it gentle in his mouth,what advice can i give him over the phone ?
Re: is there anyone on line that can help me, PLEASE he as tried to swap for food, his ball, he said he is completely switched off, i cant go an meet him as he is in the middle of the woods, will it do him any harm ?
Re: is there anyone on line that can help me, PLEASE It won't do him any harm. Your best bet is to get him home asap and try a swap for his food bowl full of his favourite food.
Re: is there anyone on line that can help me, PLEASE he as managed to get it off him, he is lost in the middle of the woods he said it was like he knew it was hurt and he wanted to care for it
Re: is there anyone on line that can help me, PLEASE Glad you got it sorted Lynne. What did we do before mobile phones?
Re: is there anyone on line that can help me, PLEASE no idea, my son was more embarrassed than anything else, people was passing him saying what as that dog got in its mouth so he went further and further into the woods to avoid people hahaha he is lost now,jasper will be very happy with his extra long walk i wonder what was going on in his head when he was carrying it
Re: is there anyone on line that can help me, PLEASE Oh dear Lynne , but I think its Jaspers natural instincts kicking in , he is from working stock and so this was normal for him . I would work on the Leave command ( when you have got your breath ) so that if anything like this happens again, hopefully he will give up his prized possession a little more quickly x
Re: is there anyone on line that can help me, PLEASE i was not out with him, maybe if he was with me i could have got him to leave it, i have got him to leave a dead rat before with a leave it,.....looks like i might need to take up some gun dog classes
Re: is there anyone on line that can help me, PLEASE [quote author=lynnelogan link=topic=7587.msg105971#msg105971 date=1409481376] ,.....looks like i might need to take up some gun dog classes [/quote] Ha Ha Lynne - bet you never thought you would say that, even half jesting! Think you need to train Mark to do the Leave It command. You got it pretty nailed if you can swap a dead rat. Hope Mark gets home in time for lunch

Re: is there anyone on line that can help me, PLEASE learn how to develop and challenge your dog’s natural scenting ability into fun activities that both you and your dog will enjoy. Classes and searches are fully adaptable to the needs of the dog and it’s human! Any dog can participate in scent work – regardless of age, breed This is a natural activity that your dog will enjoy. Mentally stimulating and tiring. Helps to build or re-establish the bond between dog and handler. Suitable for dogs that prefer not to be around other dogs. We will work with you and your dog to train the basics of scent work using toys or food as the motivator. You will learn how to work as a team, firstly undertaking simple searches, then moving at your own pace, you will progress on to more advanced work with added items and distractions utilising different search techniques. When the weather permits we will take our searches outside and incorporate trailing exercises during the warmer, hopefully drier months!
Re: is there anyone on line that can help me, PLEASE thank you kate they are full this month i might bookin for next month
Re: is there anyone on line that can help me, PLEASE How exciting Lynne! Will love to hear how you boy gets on - bet he will have great fun!
Re: is there anyone on line that can help me, PLEASE will ring to see if i can book in for next month, should be a bit of fun
Re: is there anyone on line that can help me, PLEASE Oh Lynne I know how you feel. 2 years ago Charlie picked up an injured Pheasant but luckily I had taught him "drop" he immediately dropped on command, the bird was totally unhurt by Charlie and it ran off into the bushes Hope you enjoy your lessons as I am sure Jasper will be great x
Re: is there anyone on line that can help me, PLEASE Oh Lynne what a monkey! I know how Mark feels about being embarrassed....Dexter came tearing out of the bushes once with a foil dish that was once someone's lunch in his mouth and joyfully ran laps round the park playing stay away ......everyone was laughing at me as he play owed and pranced away from me ......all their dogs had been in the same bushes of course and ignored it Great idea about the training,I think it would be great for you and Jasper xxx
Re: is there anyone on line that can help me, PLEASE Glad Jasper finally gave it up....did Mark get "unlost"? Those classes sound fun, I would LOVE to do that with Simba!
