Still a little new to posting to this site. I get on here and read alot of post just dont post much. But when I do most of you folks are quick to help. So here is what I have. I traded a catch dog for a registered mt cur male because I already a registered gyp and was looking to have a pair. Well....lets just say the guy wasnt completely honest and turns out he is a lil grouchy around other males. My question is have any of you tried to break a dog with shock collar and it work? A moody male is one thing I absolutely hate but this dog is a nice looking dog and hates a hog just is a lil grouchy around males. If I could line him out he will be a nice dog just tring to decide if I need to cut my losses or not. Any help appreciated thanks! By the way I have already tried the good ole bodark limb across the beak and it didn't work so hoping somebody has had luck with shock treatment lol.

it can work depending on how long it's been going on . just be sure to BURN HIM UP at his first thought of aggression , after they tie up it's too late !

I think a collar can work, but there are a couple other to consider.
1) I don't know how long you had the dog, but he may not be familiar with your males yet. You may try putting them in a kennel next to each other or tie them close to each other just so that the new dog can get familiar with your current males.
2) I think shock collars fix almost all problems, I would be cautious about using it to shock a male that is growling and here is why. If your dog is aggravated and getting testy and you shock him, he MAY think that the shock is a bite or form of aggression from the other dog and the shock may actually cause a fight. I saw an old timer straighten a bad dog up using a cattle prod once. He always carried that "hot shot" in his truck for those times when he needed a dog to recognize who was in charge. I don't care what dog it is and what they are doing, when you put that hot shot to them, they quit doing what they are doing and they fear the threat of using it again. That old man could put the meanest of dogs together and they wouldn't even growl.

Thanks for the input. Im going to try the shock treatment and see how far we get. I've owned dogs most of my life and have owned a couple bad males but just usually cull them if they dont come around pretty quick. But I had high hopes for this dog is the only reason im going to try a little harder at getting him lined out

I, like others agree that yes it can work HOWEVER if you shock him at the wrong time be prepared for a fight, shockin him while he is face to face with another male dog and not being able to restrain him may make him jump on the other dog thinking that the shock came from the other dog in turn sending him over the edge, I have seen it happen before so when you do go to shock him make sure you have a way to properly restrain him. good luck.

try a cattle prod instead of collar, has more bite to it. i had a bitch that would fight another bitch, posted her and a guy from ok bought her (dang good hunt to her, just the fighting crap). he said he had 1 that was the same way. so he put the 2 of them scrappers in a dog box and when they went to fighting, he lit both their asses up. a couple therapy sessions and they were cured, never had another issue out of either 1.

if possible put a collar on both dogs and light up the mt cur male when he becomes aggressive towards the other dog...also at about the same time give the other dog a lighter shock just to let him know he can not respond...reason being is that if the mt cur gets the correction after a while the other dog will become aggressive towards the mt cur and the cycle won't end...the mt cur will back off and the other dog will step up to alpha and a couple weeks later the mt cur will be back at it again...so get both and it will stop sooner than later...like already said...light up that mt cur so as to make a statement that he won't forget...I keep a cattle prod handy as well...works great for dogs in the box...

just a question , if this is a good dog hunt wise . does he show this aggression in the woods or just the yard and dog box ? I've owned quite a few dogs in my days and a lot of them just didn't get along at the house , but turn them loose in the timber and all they had on their mind was hunting . I don't mind a dog being a little fussy at the house but if it starts happening in the woods or on dead game the aggressor has to go .
