Thanks for the replies everyone. These are my first cur dogs to ever raise up and I know I will have to go about a lot of things differently than the German Shepherds I have been around all my life. With all of them I started serious OB training as early as I could. Totally different purpose for the dogs takes a totally different approach I do believe. I tend to side with those of you who say no shock collar on a young pup. I have no problems shockin the $hit out of a dog, but only as a correction when it fully knows good and well what it should be doing. And I will try a water hose but not sure it will work because they both already love running through the sprinkler, playing in the pond, and playing in the kiddy pool I filled up for themto cool off in. I realize she is still really young, but I am hoping she outgrows the yapping really quick. If she is open while hunting I wont have room for her anyways. Thats why I am so curious if you all have found that dogs that are really vocal as pups tend to be the same way as they get older and get to hunting. I really think I just got spoiled by the older pup, like I said, she doesnt make a sound unless there is reason to.
As far as wearing her out, I go work with horses most evenings and alternate every other night as to which dog I take with me. She barks in the box pretty much the whole 20 minute ride down there, and will usually be quiet on the ride home after running around all evening, but put her back in the kennel and its back to making noise.
Once again thanks for your time.
