Buying a farm rabbit for dog training?

Ever play peek A boo with a baby using a blanket? They really don't know where you went. It clicks eventually though.
A dog might run a sq. up a tree a hundred times before it clicks in its head that the sq. Is up there. Oh happy day when that finally happens.
Or you can just train it to stay at the base of the tree independent of thinking the sq. Is there. Probably won't ever be as good as purpose bred but ...

Got no advice on the rabbit thing, but....
I had a heeler that was a squirrel treeing fool, and the way I taught her to look up was painfully simple.
A squirrel tail and a cane pole.
Let her chase it on the ground, and then whip it up, and run it along the eave of the house or top of the shed, a tree, etc.
She never would fetch, but she was quick death on wounded rats shot from thick leaves...
Feed her the heads and guts, tell her to SKITDAATSQUUULLL, and I bet she catches on.
At any rate, you'll have some fun with your pup.
A couple years later, I wound up with a Jack Russel mix pup. The Heeler taught the Jack to hunt squirrels, and I didn't do a thing. They were quite the pair...I miss em.

Have you shot a gun around your dog?
