Re: [pyrnet] chasing joggers

["Susan Irving" <sirving@rogers.com>]

Hi Elaine,
Well, he doesn't jump ON them, but he does jump up behind them, let out a
big "WOOF" right in their ear, then runs back to me looking pleased with
himself----but not quite close enough that I can grab him.  Then he'll take
off after the same jogger and bound around them, barking loudly.  I can
imagine that if someone is afraid of or uneasy about dogs it would be pretty
scary. Especially because Seamus is so big.  I don't know that a remote
shock collar would work.  He seems pretty impervious to pain sometimes.  In
winter when other dogs stop because there is too much ice embedded in their
paws, he just keeps going.  No sense, no feeling?  However, if all else
fails, it could be a possibility.
He is so different from Jasmine (our first dog ever.)  She is so polite.
Susan Jasmine and Seamus
