Here is some more info. We think he is 3 - 4 years old. When on a 50 foot check cord and e-collar all it takes is a verbal whoa and he stops and he obeys the stay command even if I walk by him and keep walking. In the dog park of about 3-4 acres he is off the 50 foot check cord and with the training...

I have a 3-4 year old Brittany who was a rescued dog that someone chained to the no kill shelter fence one night. We don't know his history prior to the shelter, but he knew the whoa command so I think he was at one time trained for hunting. He is a wonderful, loving and very smart dog but with one ...

Hi, I have had my rescued Brittany now for almost one year. We think he was 1 1/2 to 2 years old when I adopted him. He is a great companion dog with one issue I am trying to correct. Last week he got out of the invisible fence (i think collar was too loose) and ran. I caught him about 2 blocks away...

This is about a companion rescue Brittany problem, not a hunting dog problem, but I have found that this forum is the very best source of dog advice, especially for a Brittany. I have a 2 year old male Brittany. I have now had him since January of this year. We don’t know his history because he was ...

When I brought home my Brittany who is a rescue dog, I just knew that the five foot fence was not going to hack it plus had the additional problem of the dog being a runner. One slip, and out the door he would go. So I personally installed a PetSafe Invisible fence, the stubborn dog model. I was luc...

I had a similar incident with my Brittany which is a 2 year old rescue dog who was a hunting dog and new to the suburbs and living inside. He was abandoned one night and chained to the fence of a no-kill shelter her in Atlanta. We have a 200 acre wooded area of trails along the river in Northern Atl...

Thanks for all your responses. What I have done since my april 10th post is walk him in the fields and woods on a 50 foot light nylon check cord. He enjoys the increase in freedom and is responding well to whoa and here and is looking back at me often to see my direction of travel. Then after about ...

Booth is my 2-3 year old dog (according to the vet). Don't really know any of his background since I was lucky and got him from a no-kill shelter where they found him chained to the fence the next morning. I live in north Atlanta don't plan to hunt with him. Too expensive for me. He is my wonderful ...

Hi, First time on this forum. Question about my 2 year old Brittany wanting to run off when not on leash. First of all, I am not a hunter, but I do love dogs and have always had one or two since I can remember as a small child. Have had cockers for 20 years as family pets. My Brittany is my first hu...
