Re: Roading dog with pedal bike

I did with a leash till he chased a rabbit in front of me ... stood the bike up on the front tire, balanced precariously for about 1/2 s, and then went over -- while my wife was screaming. That is hard on an old fat guy! Dog just kept looking at me "WHAT?" I now just use an e-collar on non-busy times.

Re: E-Collars and the Brittany

My two Britts are quite respectful and attentiive when I have the collars on them. It gives me the confidence of not losing them (chasing bunnies) and the beeper comes in handy too. I rarely have to use much stimulation. One tends to do it his way without the collar.
