shirt trick works

Oh, another trick I have had to employ a couple of times is to tie up a dog and leave him there. He barks because he doesn't want to get left, the lost dogs hear the "bay" if they are anywhere within earshot, and the usually honor it. I don't do this except in a situation where I have to get them caught now because I don't want to tease my dogs with a fake bay. However, when unfortunate events led to a bull dog and a greyhound running hot laps in down town Burton, TX and then hunting in their nature trail area for tourists, a barking dog got them caught up before they found 290. That works too.

Cheers
