Hound Dawg ping (c;
You pretty much covered it, Darnright.
I have hounds and they are a challenge.
After 23 years of having Ibizans pretty much constantly ‘doing their own thing’, I still feel mild surprise when I tell Odin to do something...and he *does*...LOL
Hunting breeds are the most difficult dogs to work with, IMO.
Their nature is to be focused on hunting behavior and it’s an exceedingly strong thing.
I’ve had to learn to work with their will rather than against it.
