I have a Pyrenees gal, coming on a year who has been doing very well learning to keep the vermin away from the farm She has learned 'leave it' well and it takes little to get her focused back on me and away from whatever she see's as a 'threat'.... most of the time.
No misunderstanding this dog has the instincts of a protector and I've seen them 'take over' ... she can be quite a weapon! The problem? Last month she killed my daughter cat... in the house. Yes, there is a gate separating the dogs and the rest of the house, but, having shown no strong aggression in the past the cat must have considered the kitchen safe enough to go looking for a midnight snack. She did escape the dogs (yes, the Collie was also involved in the assault, as she had a scratch on her nose) but either a lung was crushed or punctured and she didn't last long thereafter. Whether the kill was purposeful of not, the dog has to learn that cats... ESPECIALLY in the house.. are off limits. We still have on left and I'm might partial to it.
So, I have a Tritronics 70 E collar on the way, and I'd like to be educated on it's use.
Point me in the right direction please
