Bulldogs.

Well 7M,

I know this isn't the type of answer you were looking to get, but when it comes to those things that bring out the "natural" drives in bulldogs, pits etc.. the training methods used for obedience and such usually don't work. For example, if you training a bulldog in obedience or sport work for shows, titles etc and you can make the dog obey, let go of sleeves and bite suits... then you take that same dog put it on a hog and those same commands that usually work to get the dog to release... all of a sudden wont work, when it comes to hogs. So that natural impulse she has to chase the hose (which to her is like an animal moving or thrashing around) is cut from the same cloth as a dog wanting to catch a hog or animal. It's the same principle. Those natural drives are too strong, I doubt they even hear the commands. I know a bunch of people who tried it was the same thing every time.

Shocking her for something like that I think will confuse her more than anything, because she can't help it. Putting her away from the hose is probably the best you can do.

We call it the down side of having a drivey dog. Those things you have to live with and manage.

Just my 2ct
