Rita Jean, Can you give me a basic break down on how the sitmeanssit collar works? I want to control biting and running away.
I am not that interested in using it for any kind of performance training. I am adverse to negative reinforcement and corporal punishment as well. Pharaoh is much like most aggressive Basenjis i have read about. He is very dominant.
He has three modes of biting
1. The play mode which is no real problem, but it does hurt sometimes.
2. The attention getter. If someone ignores him they will receive a painful ankle nip. He can get quit excited about this.
3. The running slash. When playing ball or chase he will take a running slashing bite on my thigh. This is the most dangerous.
He will often bite my 7 year old daughter when they are playing. My daughters reaction is to cry softly. She never remembers to scream sharply and move away from him.
