    Stan,

    I brought this back up to the top as I was going to comment on the thread about controlling a dog on the line. I saw the link to this and this sounds exactly what I need. My Scrubdog became very vocal this past summer and I was trying all kinds of things to stop it…I wish I would have seen this earlier as it may have saved me some long months. Thanks a bunch and I’ll give it a try.

    Donna
    If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver.

    Stan - I have been dealing with same thing. Unfortunately, this is my first dog and I don't think I have the right skill set to deal with this issue. I don't have him for hunt tests, but I am hoping to hunt with him after putting 2 years into this. I train on weekends with a solid group of trainers, and no one has an answer for this. Do you use Elvis for hunting as well and did the issue transfer over with hunting?

    Elvis takes me hunting 4 or 5 days a week.
    Since duck/goose season opened we go after work and every Sat & Sun.

    His manners in the "real" blind have improved enormously.


    OK....some days in the blind he gets squirmy when the callin' and shootin' start, but not like it was.
    You have the skill sets, you can do it if you make up your mind to!!!!

    As far as breaking......Janie Hoctel and Duane Durant helped me with that.
    He doesn't break any more..........

    In fact, he gets annoying glued to my knee when I am bucket hunting!!

    Good luck!!
