Gary,
Thanks, when we got our brittany cash, he was 2.5 years old. The old owner would often let him out of the house and run free. It has not been easy because he has so many bad habit engrained in him. The brittany breeder has been telling me what to do with the shock collar when he encounters and unwanted animal. The last time (a couple of weeks ago) he went on point under a large pine tree, he didn't look quite as intense, something seemed off, I hurried over, as soon as I saw the porcupine, I put my finger on the shock button, and waited, usually he pounces as soon as the porcupine moves. The porcupine started walking off, cash moved forward a half step, looked at me, I just shook my head no, and waited. After about 20 seconds he would not move forward any further, so I called him off. My breeder said he would of shocked him, I told my breeder he wouldn't go forward so I didn't shock him. He said maybe he has learned after all. The breeder says he is a "porcupine hunter" jokingly. He has found 5 in the 2.5 years we have had him. Hopefully he has learned his lesson.
