Will she steady down?

[countrryboy]

The charge off she is anticapting u lettin her charge off, i bet the more wound up/tense she gets the quicker u allow her to charge off so self rewarding.
Also give her plenty off praise with a soft voice and strokes (rub her head lugs etc) when in the right position and try and de stress her so it's more enjoyable at ur side than running about

Depending on ur situ but i wouldn't let her charge off at all for a while so it is the norm to be at heel and she should be happy at heel, when u do allow her to free run always make her sit and wait even walk away and leave her for a while come back praise her let her run sometimes others either walk away again or back to heel. Always keep her guessing and on her toes and try never to be to predictable. Possibly walk her with the narrow collar on as well as slip lead to get used to it, if u get her heel right u could throw away the whole jeagger lead i'm sure it would make life easier, or atleast keep it in ur pocket.

1 off the shoots i work my dog in the beating line there is half a dozen boys who keep there dogs on lead all drive pulling like little trains, when it comes to the end off drive they scruff the dog take lead off and let it go, it's like slipping a pack of lurchers, if they only made there dogs sit off lead for 30 odd secs before gettin to hunt the dogs would be far far better, some off these boys have had dogs for 20+ yrs and still hae never learned

Honestly a decent trainer would sort u out no problems in no time be well worth it

I ran mine on a long leash and quietly shortened it over time so that he walks to heel, it's a matter of very gentle persistent reining in once you get them there it's all worth it, and they don't even know it. It takes time

I found that teaching the dog to sit at my side as soon as I set my sticks up prevented the dog getting too much lead (mainly to protect his hearing from my rifle report). As I usually use my sticks to support my binos when scanning I am always using my sticks, therefore the dog is always close to my side. Having him close makes it easier to make finer adjustments to where he is in relation to me. I'm right handed so my dog's place is with his right hip by my left leg. Whilst he may have better peripheral vision than me, I know he doesn't have eyes in the back of his head. But, he now knows that sticks up means sit and pay attention. As I mentioned, it has taken me a while to bring this all together. Remember you know he's under training and development, but he will always think's he's out hunting. So you're the intelligent one in the partnership and you have to think that the dog is always in training. Sometimes you will loose the opportunity of a shot, but I believe better that than to leave your HPR in the car - that's not training. Patience and perseverence.
Good luck.

This is exactly the process I have adopted with my Vizsla pup. Now 14 months old she does not pull at all, the only time she does is when in the harness and on the the tracking line. In fact if I couple up the tracking ine with a collar she will not go. I used a slip lead throughout her heel training and still do, when I require an over the shoulder lead I just form the over the shoulder part with another slip lead. Much cheaper than a leather lead and collar and the dog understands where she should be whilst in the slip lead.

This is what we have done in the past but she is pretty stubborn and doesn't take her long to "forget" where she should be.

Just keep stopping when stalking use your binoculars then go another five ten yards you will find you get more deer because you are stalking correctly, the dog will soon learn the faster you walk the more it will pull !
