I'd knock off the corrections for a few months and focus on drive building. http://www.NAPWDA.com

jason w penwell Webboard User Reg: 11-10-2005 Posts: 138 Loc: italy Offline	i agree with Matt. a good detection dog has to have a butt load off drive. i shounds like your doing good by building it but no way would i correct her. i would, personnaly, tell her good. it may hurt a little <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> but telling her no she is gonna start to think she is not allowed to bite at all and kill her prey drive. stick in there, the biting your pant thing won't last to much longer and then you will be glad you did.

Cody Sutterfield Webboard User Reg: 12-08-2005 Posts: 10 Loc: Lone Star State Offline	Great thanks for the advice, I will let her keep doing it. After watching the dogs in Ed's narcotics dvd I not sure she will have the drive those dog's have, but she is still young... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> learn to listen, you will get further in life
