My Dobies have been SO inescapably driven to pull that I gave my previous one what he wanted - I hooked his leash up to the fork of my Sportster and let him go for it from a dead stop. He did it. In retrospect it was not a good thing to do to a one year old - still growing and such.
But I'm telling you, I am almost at the point of not getting another male dobie - extreme drive to pull. I think that this one especially has a super duper prey drive owing to his pure Shutzhund heritage. I need one with more defense drive instead. Brian On 5/7/07, LarryT <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
