Traditional Rabbit Hunting/Trialing Commands for Beagles

Post by crebralfix »

What commands do you typically use and what do the commands mean to you?

Here are a few I use (for everyday use, not hunting), but want to sorta conform to what people typically use:

Sit/Stay/Come: The usual
Left: go left, no your other left!
Right: go right
Back: backup...as in back up on that towel so I can wipe your feet!
Move: get outta the way or you'll get stepped on
Heel: the usual
Hip: heel (easier to hollar for longer distances)
"In front": run in front of me and don't stop or you'll get a stick in the butt!
Down: lay down
Stand: don't move
Load: get in the car/truck and don't miss. Get back into the truck after falling out.
In: walk in the door or get back into
Out: walk out the door
Turd: hava turd
Pee: hava pee
Barf: go to your barf spot and barf (not on the carpet!)
Drink: drink your beer..er...water
Bed: git in your bed
Calm: stop chewing on me and calm down.
