If you have a predatory dog that chases rabbits, cars, kids on skateboards, anything that moves, you really should read Clarissa von Reinhardt's new book, "Chase! Managing Your Dog's Predatory Instincts" Even though I don't know Clarissa, nor have I ever read anything else by her, I can tell you that she is right on the money - many of the methods she outlines are ones I've used very successfully with Sequoyah (I can call her off moving stuff and she returns to me). Go get this book!!!!!! Then, and only then, will you understand why this thread is called "sausage trees":-))
