Might have to see if I can kidnap her and bring her up to you at some stage

Won't help mate. Electricity will destroy it for ever. I don;t fix dogs, i fix their owners, no point me doing anything with the dog if the owner doesn't change the dog won't. The behavior has more to do with the owner than the dog. If he won;t do anything, nothing will change. E-Collar will be the icing on the cake, the last fuck up before he shoots it. Tell him to save the money on the e-collar, rehome the dog and never get another one.

I have tried mate I really have. I've told him I don't know how many times to come and see you or go and see Paul Hutton if he doesn't want to travel so far. But like I said to you on the phone a lot of people get the idea in their head that they can fix it, when really they can't. That's why I called you because I knew I couldn't handle it.

He recently had his stag do. It's a shame he didn't have the collar then otherwise it could have been part of the gag! Everytime he put a foot wrong.....zap

Not yet, but its getting closer.

Not going to shoot the dog as he is the only one that comes to meet me at the door EVERY day when I get home from work!

+1 and i get a lick....shit, was that out loud???????

Started dog showing....

If I ever got so low in life force shooting my dogs would be the second to last thing I did...they truly are wo/man's best friend...they don't care what you wear, they don't give a rats if you come home from work smelling like a test specimen for a new deodorant, they are always honest, even when they have been bad...they will protect you with their life, they might leap around demanding food but they never nag you about money, where you were, why you were late home, they'll never nut off if you have been to see another dog...they only ever let you down cos you have let them down (training wise)...

+1 there Eeebees
I like this
"Oh God, my master,
Should I gain the grace
To see thee face to face when life is ended,
Grant that a little dog
Who once thought I was god
Might see me face to face."

My dog was out there last night,just waiting for some good weather to shoot his nuts off

I have had my hands full

I am of the opinion that my dog would be completely fucked if I did the kiwi aversion with him.
1) he would shut down, after a life of positive reinforcement he would withdraw and never work for a human ever again 2) I think it's bullshit and doesn't work - we've spent thousands of years breeding in the instinct to our dogs, they won't give a fuck about a shock last month when they looked at a frozen kiwi 3) I would hate myself for allowing, paying someone, to physically harm my animal.

My 2c! Good luck to you and your pooches.

Ps it sounds like you've got enough places to hunt anyway if you've been doing it for years already - screw the kiwi blocks and keep doing what you're doing :-)

All my old spots are 1080'd to hell and gone, so I am forced to start looking at private and Maori blocks. Many DoC areas now demand Kiwi aversion certs for dogs. I don't want to hunt without them as it is total enjoyment for them as much as for me. I know my dogs won't chase a bird to bite because they road the bird and point / set and do not fetch until commanded, but try explaining that to DoC!

After DOC drops there is only kiwis in the hills without feathers meaning the hunters and trampers. Areas I have hunted the kiwis usualy have a rifle

Thats what every pig hunter tries to tell them too.

It doesn’t harm them. And the people that run the programs are usually doggy folks themselves, and not DOC “greeny” staff. My Wire has been through several times now. Only received one shock on the first bird, and hasn’t needed one since.
