I wish I could get the renters to work with me on telling him to "get" with a stick or a broom or anything, but they are the type where they could not think of doing such a thing to any animal.  Animals are people too you know.  Sheeesh. 

I do have a training collor on him and when it is on him he stick very close by and just shakes.  Hate to put it on him.  He use to chase cows, but no more on that one.  Only had to train/ shock him once to train on that. 

I will keep working on it and with the dog.

Thanks again for your advice.
