HOW IN THE WORLD CAN I GET MY DOG TO STOP RUNNING PORCUPINES. THIS DOG HAS TOO MUCH GRIT AND CAN TAKE ALL THE BEATING I CAN GIVE HER AND WILL STILL TREE THEM. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRICIATED.

SHE IS JUST A 11 MONTH OLD DOG. SHE HAD GOTTEN IN THEM QUILLS BAD ONE TIME, NEVER RAN THEM AGAIN FOR A MONTH OR SO, AND THEN SHE SOMEHOW GOT TO THE POINT WHERE SHE WON'T BOTHER THEM UP CLOSE, BUT SHE WILL TREE THEM. SO I SHOT IT DOWN TO HER, AND LET HER GO AT IT SO SHE PURPOSELY GOT QUILLS IN HER AND THEN BEAT HER BUT BAD WITH STICK AND MY BACKSIDE OF MY HAND. ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD HAVE DONE?

Some dogs can't be broke. I know of a dog up here that was quilled many times he never did learn. Don't know what finally happened to him.

But this is what I did and it worked for me

1st catch a Porcupine in a cage trap
I used a small bit of salt block or dry cat food for bait
to get one quick it helps to find trees or places where they
been chewing on
place the caged porky in some brush
than a while later let a buddy cut your dog into the area
while your off to side where you can watch
if he goes in on it give him time to do the right thing & let it, but if he get stupid slam him with your shocker til he gets the message have your handler get the dog and take for a walk & put him back in the box
while you move the porky to another spot & repeat the process
I like to give the dog a break in between
If you think he's had enough than have your handler lead him away
with you following 20 or so yards behind with the caged porky in one hand
& the shocker in the other if he shows he wants to come
back slam him til he stops even thinking about looking back
( if you like your handler make sure he's not touching the dog "or LOL ")
dispose of porky out & away from your dog hope this helps GOOD LUCK

I think Daryl's method would be the best chance to break a dog . It's the one I would try. Good luck.

Try putting them in a barrel together and roll them down a hill ! LOL

Not really. LOL

I'd try the shock collar/cage idea.
Sounds best to me.

i was once told that a do will go after a porky until he killed one. found out it isn't true. my blue dog just kept on killing them. got tired of paying the vet. i mean this dog would get the quills down his throat and look like a pin cushion. switched him. did it all no luck. yet i had another dog just sniff a dead porky got a few quills in her nose and it was enough for her. just don't know. depends on dog.

i did have to clear off some porkies off my land. these things can really destroy trees! seems i had an invasion of them a few years back. couldn't even hunt on my land they were so thick.
the idea of the cage and the shocker seems a good idea to me. will have to try that one.
