When i hunted Upland last year I had to put e collar on my female. When she gets a idea of chasing something, she mutes all else out. I nicked her once, and now all I have to do it put the collar on, but I dont turn it on. I still feel bad about nicking her though
Luckily my male lab will listen without a issue, and I think that playing catch with both dogs daily has strengthed my hand commands, and there ability to listen to them as well.
