[QUOTE=Dean Romig;258645]I have a collar with the beeper and it is annoyingly loud. I don’t switch the beeper option on anymore because when it goes off Grace hates it so much she runs straight to me. And no, she’s not gun shy in the least.

Dean, I started using a seperate beeper collar on my brittany. When I first would turn it on, he couldn't even go potty without it going off, he hated it. The breeder suggested turning it on after he went potty, then for only a couple minutes at a time. Each time I turned the beeper on, I said "go find them" finally he understood that when I turned the beeper on he got to go hunt and not be called back all the time. Now after he goes potty, I call him over and as soon as beeper goes on he tears out into the woods almost breaking my finger. I always say "go find them" when I turn on his beeper. Hope this all makes sense.

The beeper function on my collar only goes off when the dog is on point.

Thanks Ed - every dog is different and each has its own personality and various foibles.

Grace has no problem hunting... or pooping... but simply can't abide the beeper - it's just too damn loud. I really don't know how any dog could stand it.

I simply don't even turn it on anymore. I hunt her with a bell and just keep an ear peeled for when it goes quiet.
