Thread: whys my dog shy around other dogs?

my foxy wont hunt with other dogs he stays at my feet unless on super fresh pig sign or out for possums. when im pig hunting he stays at my feet when I take 3 other foxys till we hit pigs or the others get one. but when I take out another we bitch by herself these 2 hunt real well sticking together and of looking all the time. by himself hes a ripper of a dog on pigs just needs back up but its hard when he stays at my feet when I bring back up. why would he do this? the 3 hes shy with are all older bitches. the one he does hunt with hes grown up with at work

Hope you don't mind Posummer but I am going to park my chair here and watch while all the dog techo types on the forum psycho analyse your foxy to give you a reply. Should be fun. I can almost guarantee that before we get to the bottom of page two on this thread someone will strongly disagree with someone else about it. I hope I haven't hijacked your thread because it is a seriously good question you have asked.

or we can all just shut up and possumer will be no better off......... but is best way to avoid any possible conflict.

I'll start the ball rolling , how old is he ?

2.5 I never ran him with dogs until about 1.5 years. but hes been round these dogs since I got him at 3 months old

Is he timmid or sulky when these dogs are about

I wouldn't say sulky but if I say way ya go or find em then his ears go back and he sulks. but by himself his tail wags and hes happy. if hes with the others and I talk to him he perks up but wont bugger of. if I try talk when hes by himself its like hes deaf and doesn't wanna know me hes to busy hunting. as soon as they get a pig hes of and stuck in

I completely disagree Rushy!!! You don't know what your talking about. There has never been heated arguments here about dogs!!

The other dogs are bullies haha.

Have the bitches ganged up on him and given him a throttle...sounds abit like it...can you run him with just one of the bitches at a time so he gets some confidence...

2.5 I never ran him with dogs until about 1.5 years.
