I've got a problem with my dog... Sometimes when I fetch him he takes a dump on the way back with the dummy. What level should I set the e-collar on to fix this? Or should I just beat the crap out fo him?

No sense in beating the crap out of him, he already took a dump.
I'd just make him sit time-out in front of a spinning mojo.
 
If you shock him repeatedly, the convulsions will help force the poop out faster, so he can finish the retrieve...
 
Todd
If I was you I would show him one of your faverit winged decoys and he might forget crapping on the retrieve.

Take care and God Bless

Tod,

This is really beneath you. Inflaming the forum when it's already on simmer is cheating and you should be ashamed. Inflaming when we are all giving each other hugs is your real talent.

You are right Pete, I'll crawl back into my hole and wait for better times.
 
Run up and hug and show him some luv in the middle of his private time. After all, we wasnt to bond with our dogs, right? If that doesn't work, send him to Michael Vick's Dog Training Academy. Trip.

Maybe if you let him go out there to fetch without you walking next to him.....
 
As long as the dog holds and does not cheat the line back no correction needed. Even better if he is downwind or moved off line downwind prior to voiding his bowels.
 
I think it is time for a history lesson. Many years ago a colonist invented the lighting rod. The concept is simple and eloquent. A sharp, pointed metal object will allow for a gradual discharge of electricity between the ground and clouds in the sky. Ben was cool. Now the history lesson gets better.

Eventually, the lightening rods were exported to England. Of course, the inventor was an "ignorant" colonist. What could he possibly know about electricity? To make matters worse, the sharp, pointed metal rods on top of English architecture just didn't look right. Therefore the English in all their wisdom rounded off the lighting rods so they would look better. Of course, their rounded off lightening rods didn't work.

This history lesson explains the ongoing aversion (no pun intended) the British have for American ingenuity. They've been missing the point for quite some time (pun intended).

On a side note, three of my four Labs have British blood in their genetics. Taffey, Gunny and Daisy are related to FTCH Milbuies Dust Lad. I have no idea whether that is good (or not). However, all three are sharp and two of them point.

That was a good history lesson,but it seems like your dogs with the English breeding knows a bit moor than you, now I will give you a history lesson if it was,nt for us british you would,nt have been able to drop atombomb on Japan in the 2 world war because it was us that split the atom and it was done right up the road from me at manchester Univercity. HeheHe

How's this Eddie,
Ernest Lawrence who built the first cyclotron and won a Nobel Prize was born and raised in my little home town. His work with the Manhattan Project produced the enriched uranium for the first bomb.
Oh and it was actually the Germans who figured out a way to split the atom to release large amounts of energy. The British way just produced a little poof. :) But it was the first.

It was that little poof that put paid to Hiroshima and nagazaki and without it you guys would,nt have been able to do it.

Tim here is another one for you , My ancesters sailed over to America on the Mayflour and that is why you have got the name Keshaw in America, there is also the kershaw institute, and kershaw knifes, all this from a little place 14miles outside of manchester called rochdale from where my name aridgenated.

Poof is a little too close to poop for my taste, which we all know will bring the discussion back to laying a deuce on some unlucky guy's truck - (dudes, just the imagining that makes it difficult to keep a straight face).

At least there was no mention of doucheing or bags (*whew*)

Sorry, I couldn't help it... Jim has also been helpful to me.
 
If you ever travel over west to Wales maybe you can help me trace some of my family tree. My great great grandfather came from Wales. It's been hard to search back to find much about him. Last name Jones. hahaha Doesn't really narrow it down I suppose. Man there were a lot that came here and I bet half were named John Jones.
