Every pup I raise, I raise running loose until they or 5 or 6 months old & then I chain them. I give them a couple of days of raising hell & I put the shock collar on them a day ahead. I go out there & when they bark I tell them no. If they bark again, I bump them. It does not take them long & they learn to shut up. I try to stay with it & my older dogs no better then to bark for no reason.
Interesting .. You say that Cajun
I just stayed the weekend with a pro that lets his pups Rome around too . It helps with the dogs mental development of independence .
This week hopefully I'm going to run my pup a litter mate that was raised on his yard . Same litter except one was raised to run free for 6 months . While mine traveled around America with me to different field trials events and got put on wild birds on days I could
The only advantage I have over the other dog and it's a pretty big one is my dog knows the property
Do you think a non stop barkin dog is genetic ? Have you ever noticed a dog that won't stop and sure enough it's momma or daddy was like that too ?
