I have a few staghounds and trying to get them to stop chasing what ever they see is difficult, unless you are on a horse or in a truck beside them, even then, I find it a challenge. So if you ever figure it out, let me know too. I also had some difficulty with my terriers eating what they caught, though most outgrew this behaviour, but I did have one terrier that seemed to be insistent on eating what he caught, so I put him in a situation where there were several rats, and at first he tried to hold on to the first rat he caught, but then his hunting drive took over, and the prospect of the next rat was just too enticing. After a few of these sessions, he no longer ate what he caught. Just my two cents, hope it helps! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
