And...its okay to get frustrated with dogs. We all do! Just keep hutning them. Nobody on here or anywhere else has perfect dogs.
I bet my dogs would like to trade me out and start from scratch to sometimes!!!!

I dont let mine out the box or off the rig chain unless I see tracks or sign. If I did, Id have deer races and coyote chases all the time. Even the best of dogs get off game sometime, just becuase they want to run, bay and catch game.

Good advice guys, in my opinion, a dog that'll find deer or dillers and run em'll do the same to pigs, just consistency with getting em on pigs and correcting them when they trash. Hate to see people ruin good dogs with electricity. Training collars are a great tool but you can also cause one to not hunt at all.

Using an e collar on a trashing dog is the quickest way I think to break a dog from trashing. I know you said you don't have one but maybe you could borrow one or pick one up pretty cheap some where. The little cheap ones work fine for these situations because normally you are pretty close to them if you know they are trashing on an armadillo. Just use your brain when using the shock collar. I do believe a dog can be ruined with one so be sure that you use it at that exact moment when they are in the wrong so that there is no mixed messages to the dog at all. My best dog was baying cattle really bad. I beat and banged and whooped with no ground gained. I put a collar on him and about two times of shocking him while in the act of baying cattle, he was done and will not even acknowledge them now. Just my two cents...Good luck bud

I'd like to thank everyone for their advice. There's a few tricks I've been told I haven't tried. Honestly this thread has made me have a different outlook on my dogs. Any other advice on the shock collar? I surely don't want to ruin them all together.

Cooter, you have 1.5 seconds to correct a dog. It takes a sober person 1.5 seconds to react to something that happens. I think you will have great results trying what I told you before. If you are interested in a shock collar I will tell you the only time I use it is when I can't get my dogs to break from hunting. They will sometimes come within 100 yes from me and catch an old track and go right back to hunting. At that point I can correct them with a shock and calling them to me...in my opinion this is the only correction a shocker is needed for while hunting. At work with our k-9's some of our shepards don't out, subsequently we run shockers on them to assist them with outing. Both of these situations we the human are in total control of and the reactionary time to correct a dog does not come into play as much. Good luck to you.

Junior Seffern, I'm def gonna try the least expensive means of trash breaking first. Just want to get an idea of the watch outs of using a shock collar.

I can assure you that if you shock a dog WHILE they are crunching on an armadillo, it will not ruin your dog lol......
