Heya, for some reason it wouldn't let me PM you :?
I trained him by at first having him on the lead in there and whenever he went to dash at the windows or door I said 'NO' ! I pulled on his lead (he has a harness so I can pull him quite strongly) and he would sit down (still very excited) but he would get a treat. I then talked gently to him telling him what a good boy he was until the next time he lurched and then repeated.
10 mins a day was enough. I kept it up for about 8 weeks and was able to take the lead off after about two weeks. He did then put his paws up on the window sill but then I introduced 'OFF' and would push him off and give him a treat when he sat. Most times he is ok now although he does still run in for a look whenever I open the door.
The other word I used was 'OI' as I use this when we are out too and he recognises it as being told to stop what he is doing.
I then continued training with the conservatory door open, him on a lead and Daisy and Ben were in the run opposite the door. He was VERY excited but I wouldn't let him move - gave Daisy & Ben a chance to see he could not hurt them too - last thing you want is a stressed bunny!
When out in the garden I first kept him on a very short lead and forced him to walk up and down the garden past the runs - not easy he is very strong!!
I then made him sit opposite Bungle & Nushkas run - same thing - to let them see each other. I did allow him up to the run at one point but Bungle Bunny went for him through the wire so I'm back to doing it at a distance.
I take him out back once or twice a week otherwise progress would be quicker.
Ref garden for wee's etc I take him out the front on a lead first and last thing and then over the fields twice a day so he's not missing the garden - but so want to be able to sit out with all my fluffs in the nice weather next year! Oh and would be nice not to have to stand on the doorstep in my PJ's at night :lol::lol:
Good luck with it, do let me know your progress x
PS, as someone else said a friend for your bunny would really make a difference, they love company
