    @el borracho, went out shooting yesterday and after all the effort to find a rooster or some quail Aki slams on a point about an hour in the hunt.... He stood on a fallen tree with his nose pointing between his feet, Got myself all wound up and excited thinking brownies would burst out any second, next think I see a bunny jumps around....

    Speaking of all this bolting rabbits, I actually saw my dog for the first time after 5 years point and produce one yesterday.... drove home with a smile on my face....
    timing of this thread and the actual event couldn't be more weirder....

    Personally, I'd teach the stop on the whistle, transfer that to stop on the thrown dummy, then transfer to stop on hand-thrown pigeons before repeating the process with a rolling ball and then a wing-clipped pigeon (flies low to the ground....not a bolting rabbit, but as close to replicating it, within reason, as possible).
    Exactly how it's done.
