wrong command

(1/2) > >>

ips:
Have you ever inadvertently given the wrong command at the wrong time. ???

 Yesterday dogging in I was hunting her through some rough grass and bracken that has formed a sort of hedgeline between two fields, she flushed a bird and was steady then recalled very well. I sent her hunting again but instead of my usual "get in" I accidentally said "get on" which is similar to my release command of "go on then". She legged it fifty meters down the hedge, lining a foot scent, (I think) flushed a bird and then came back.
 I am wondering if this was coincidental and she just lost her head or if my incorrect command was the cause ???

Emilyoliver:
mine has learned to run a line along hedges when dogging in.  and actually it's what I want as need the boundary cleared and if he quarters all the way along he may push the birds into the hedge and in the wrong direction (if that makes sense?).  It's also much quicker.  Was  bit worried initially as thought it would ruin his pattern for beating, but he knows the difference.  clever little beast!

ips:
It is not common behaviour for her to run on like this however it has bern known before. Not sure if eze knows the difference but if yours does and doesn't run in at the flush point then he is indeed a smarty pants 😁👍

The biggest and stupidist mistake I made when I started training was using "OK" as a release signal!! ....  :buttkick: Can't have a normal conversation these days without old bigs ears waiting for me to inadverently give him permission to leg it!!!  >:D
