I guess I'm guilty for allowing him to tear the yard up. I had thought about one of those remote operated shock collars, but those things really pack a wallop. Had one go off in my hand once.
The good collars have adjustable settings - from just a beep or vibration; to "stun". If your dog is laid back enough, a simple beep might distract him enough to limit him to a scrape or two, rather than the exaggerated "burnouts" I've seen many dogs do.
And I disagree that scraping is in the DNA - Jimmy is almost 5 yrs old, and JUST learned this "trick" from Jack - he only does it when the insane Brittany 2 doors down is barking her face off at my dogs. Fortunately, a few mornings wearing the buzz collar nipped THAT one in the bud quickly.
