Finding stuff is a fun game.<br />Shaking a paw would seem kinda pointless to a hound.<br /><br />They can ignore you better than any other breed, too.

I have been working on "shake" for the last three years and am getting nowhere with him. Any suggestions? He's is a sweet dog but as dumb as they come. I use dog treats as incentive, which is how I got him to learn how to sit on command. <br /><br />I have had many dogs Jenhttp://www.redheadranting.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438680005944241920.post-79670422516079639272010-01-13T15:26:12.651-05:002010-01-13T15:26:12.651-05:00I LOVE bassets!

Not fond of beagles though, isn't that strange. :) I think the short legs reel me in.<br /><br />Funny you should mention the cat thing - just encountered a female brindle mastiff (adult) who was PETRIFIED of a dog-friendly kitty. Up against the wall shaking when the cat tried to sniff her. No idea what happened in infancy to a dog like that.*Amber* aka Suzy SINsationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16580012667538353784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438680005944241920.post-44159717862347649922010-01-13T13:01:45.917-05:002010-01-13T13:01:45.917-05:00Awww, Abby.

If the nose, hits the ground, it's all over. (eyes scope out movement, etc.)<br /><br />That said, they are loving dogs and great companions. And there's nothing better than watching a hound (or any dog) work as they were intended!Cyndi and Stumpyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15945219976457829612noreply@blogger.com
