dog catching?

Hey chris both methods are gona work. Like u n reuben said it may take multiple seccions at various times to keep the dog in ck. Its hard to know what a dog is think, or any animal for that matter, but if they hav learnin method similar to ours, repeatd training, be it verbal, physical or external stimulation will teach the dog its limitations. The problem i was havn with mine, he wouldnt bay anymore, he would straight catch n test the hog. Most of time he caused the bay to break, which nearly costed him his life if i wouldv had a clear shot. I started shockn him as soon as he went in for catch n it broke to where he wouldnt even bay, but he basic started over from scratch, learnin to bay again n what his limits were when it came to catchn n then my collar broke n he revertd back to catch no matter how much yellin or disapline i gave him. I was gonna try ur method n letn him get the piss whiped out him a couple time but ran out of time. I tried the muzzle thng n all he would do is go in a corner or the pen away from the hog and tear the muzzle off n then go in n catch. If my wife n i wasnt attached to him, he wouldv done contracted lead poisoning
