I have a dog that has decided that he wants to go to houses whenever he gets in trouble or just can't find a track close by. Any suggestions besides electricity, he's already had enough of that to light up a small city. This is a nice dog, straight as a string, belly up hard tree dog but I'd rather he ran deer all night than go camp out on someone's door step.

Well you may very well be reaping what you sowed. So many folks want to use the little electrical device for everything under the sun. It is my opinion that this dog has been over corrected with the shocker, thus causing him to go to houses as he does not feel safe in the woods. He feels more safe around a house than he does in the woods where he knows its just a matter of time before the ol electrical stimuli is about to start coming.

Lock that shocker in your gun cabinet and just start hunting him without correction and see if that helps. I can't imagine why a dog would have been introduced to enough electricity to light up a small city when he is straight as a string and a belly up tree dog.

Hope you can turn him around.

it sounds to me that may be your problem , a lot of hard headed dogs that can take more juice if you light them up enough on high will do just like you said your dog is doing , i don't know if they are a cure for it because its man mad and man ended , if he was mine i would hunt him with another dog and leave the e-collar off of him and hope that it will keep him pulled to the woods instead of running off to someones house or getting into a road ..

I didn't use the shock collar on him for anything other than one possum or to get him back across a river a time or two. At any rate, he knows what it is, but he hasn't had an overwhelming exposure to it till he started doing this. I hunt him with the collar on and with it off and have the same results, by himself and with company as well. The e-collar is not my first choice and after nailing him hard with it several times I don't think it will work on him anyway.

ditch the e collar and quit hunting him where there are any houses remotely close if that's possible where you are, sounds simple right?? well if hes hiding at houses take away the houses and see what he does

I agree! Lay off the shocker, he's going to the houses to get away from being shocked! Just let him hunt.

We had a rabbit dog take off after a deer one time and he never came back to us but went to the truck. Where we had cut them loose. When we found him he had crawled over the muffler to get away from it. We thought we had lost him. Turned out to be a good dog though.

I think I'm going to go with the box for a while. Leave him in it when I turn the other dogs loose for about 2 weeks, that will be about 6 or 8 trips to the woods. Let him hear the dogs and the rifle and smell the coon in the truck and not get to touch it and see what that does for his attitude.

Turn him loose where you know the people that live in the houses. Get them to come out and whup him and run him off if he comes to their house. Or turn him loose near a house that has a very large, very protective yard dog. He has to learn that houses aren't a nice place to go to.

Did you shock him when he gets to the house, or when he is headed to the house?

Just maybe he read the license plate, "If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch."

Thanks for the response Mr George! I meant no disrespect. I've used shock collars for my german shorthairs hunting pheasants in nebraska, almost always with positive results. I have not had to use one with my bluetick pup so I've been lucky! I know the hard work it takes training a pup. I wish you the best of luck!

I had one years ago that went through that. He kept going to the same house. I stopped hunting him there and he would visit other houses but not stay as long. A few months later the house he liked to visit had hound pups. I think he was looking for the same thing at the other houses. He went to a house one night and took a bad tail whooping from the yard dog. Cured him.
