So we have been working our obedience and doing agility with the dogs. One thing I am still having trouble with that I was hoping you guys could help me with is that when I am walking Flash and if he sees a bunny and it moves, his prey drive goes through the roof and he begins crying at the top of his lungs. I have him on a prong collar and even the strongest correction makes him yelp, but he continues to cry. Do you guys have any suggestions to make him be quite? I have tried my electronic collar and again, even on a high setting he yelp, but continues to cry for a few minutes. I try distracting him with obedience, blocking his view, nothing makes him stop. He is very vocal when playing with our other dogs, but not this high pitched crying. We have been walking around a college and I just cannot let this continue.

How about a very high-level distraction of your own?
Does he have a lust for any particular toy or tug? Do you wear a bait bag with fabulous food rewards? (I mean so that the distraction of the ob becomes really attractive and exciting.)
Thanks Connie. I tried this and nothing, he is overdrive. I wish I could transfer this drive to agility and other sports. When we are training, his drive is not nearly this high, in fact, way lower. I don't know what else to do. I was thinking maybe a can filled with coins to make a noise to distract him.
