Do any of y'all have a bulldog or doesn't really have to be just bulldogs but a dog that chases a water hose. My pit is driving me nuts. I have to get her out of her kennel and snap her away from the kennel where she cant see the water hose just to wash the pens out. She barks and catches it. I've tried everything but shock her off. Any other methods anyone else has used to solve?

Is there a constructive way to distract her? Like a chew toy on a rope or something similar that will get her interest? I am no dog trainer and am learning myself but it seems that a positive distraction to stop negative behavior works better than discipline. That being said sometimes discipline is the only resort left.

Water biters......My female Stag, my Bull Terrier, and my American Bulldog do that. Drives me crazy, but I sometimes take advantage of that and let them exercise by chasing the water, lol.

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

take a piece of the water hose and whip her with it, and or waterboarding theropy. my catdo liked to chew on the hose when I would wash other kennels out and after spraying her in her face and whipping her with the hose broke her. if shocking and physical techniques are not what you want to use, then its probably best to keep clipping her off away from the area. dogs and kids are similar with some kids/dogs respond to verbal only, and then there are some that need the physical touch along with some verbal.

Most good bulldogs don't work that way  |
