justin, I wasnt aware of this shy stage, but now it makes sense. Ive noticed an independent stage from about 5 to 9 months, I like to kennel them at this time so they cant avoid being caught up. thanks for the input
Im just going to keep doing what Ive been doing but add in some bay pen time and mock hunts once a month
Hell man, I don't know if it really is a true defined "stage" that all dogs go through but I do know that it seems like out of every litter I have or every group of pups I have raised there has been at least one that acts this way. As far as I know the easiest way to deal with it is pretty much to not deal with it, I simply leave the pup on a chain for a few months and try em again once they are older.
