I feel your pain. <br /><br />We've worked a lot on impulse control exercises--I really like the ones at www.dogscouts.org-- but I need to enforce "no bolting out the door" more assiduously. Thanks for the inspiration! <br />Kirsten<br />Read about my foster adventures at http://peacefuldog.blogspot.comKirsten (peacefuldog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17157607807509631485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149175.post-8680551927680130432010-06-03T00:52:35.569-05:002010-06-03T00:52:35.569-05:00My friend forwarded me your blog!

We used to have a standard schnauzer. That one had prey drive. Thanks for explaining this facet of dog behavior.Forsythiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842925744413303224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149175.post-63981367827877022582010-05-28T00:09:11.489-05:002010-05-28T00:09:11.489-05:00Hey nice to see you around again!

If he sees something unusual (most recently some baby birds on the sidewalk, and an oscillating fan), he will stay well back from it and alert-bark at it until somebody comes to rescue him.The Oceanside Animalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16894063884048051561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149175.post-79460182369697219332010-05-27T22:27:51.457-05:002010-05-27T22:27:51.457-05:00Thanks!

Star got soooo many compliments on hers (style "Milan Heart") when we went out in public! She doesn't wear it any more, though, because I had to switch her to a Premier (martingale) collar for training purposes--because of the prey drive issue, in fact. The leather collar didn't give me as much control as the martingale does.<br /><br />Dozer still wears his big old "Alabama" Paco Collar when he goes out, but because of his allergies, he's usually naked at home, because his constant scratching was messing up the leather. :-/happypitbullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03607831951903607541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149175.post-47114986299539020392010-05-27T21:37:59.248-05:002010-05-27T21:37:59.248-05:00Wow!

I feel like this post totally addressed my prey-driven dog, I have taken to carrying tasty sausage treats to keep my Prey driven Shepherd's attention on me rather than another dog.I like to joke that I don't need resistance bands I have two, on each side. It's a tricky training issue, and I have been thinking it's probably time I gave it another whirl. <br />Thank you for the support and great post.<br />BTW love the video and your pups dog collars are beautiful as pitbulls arehaircutting in high heelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08449534525297773791noreply@blogger.com
