Glad to see that it's not just Bella's vice of choice!!! She's great with pet rabbits, but there's just something so tempting about the wild ones!!!
(only hopefully she'll stop the habbit soon with our training)
Totally agree with everyones comments on training dogs not to chase animals, however we all know what mischief the little thugs will get up to, usually in the most embarrasing situation possible and completely out of the blue! It's a shame that the law has been rather heavy handedly used in these situations, problems can arise with a rather black and white law structure being used to patrol situations where shades of grey and misunderstandings can easily exist and occur. Although hopefully the law will be effective in helping to protect the wildlife in the UK, I think hares are wonderful creatures (doubt Bella would ever catch one of these and she'd never hear the last of it from me if she did catch one!
)
Anyway, hope everyone elses training is going well, such beautiful weather for it too
