The American Beagler Forum

Thanks Deerhost.

What was your process for tone training them? Was it tone, call them, then tone again? That is the process for when you use stimulation.

Can anyone tell me how to "tone train" a dog? I have the Sportdog system with this feature, but don't know how to use it. The owners manual doesn't address it, and I reached out to Sportdog, and they weren't helpful.

Thanks.

How long do you leave the barking collars on the dog? Isn't there a limited number of hours they can wear them before causing irritation on their neck?

This must be a non-event.

I can't believe ihis is an issue. I know plenty of people, including myself, that have run females in full bloom without incident.

How about Branko's Boone Creek Trimmer. Out of 37 trials, he placed in 33 with 27 First Places!!!

Very nice pup!

I have had beagles for 38 years and never had a problem with fleas. I only use cedar shavings for the bedding, and don't use any flea powder.

Crow,

That makes pefect sense; I know what you mean.

Guys,

Thanks for the replies. He has been a very good dog, and I want to do right by him.

Steve W. I agree with you when you say that they will tell you. I just want to ensure that I don't let him run too long...

When you take them out, do you restrict the amount of time they run? I can't imagine letting a dog 12 years old or older run until he wants to quit.

I have a dog that turned 12 in July. When does a dog become too old to run?

Tom,

You are correct. The government does not have the best interest of the public...
