Hello,
I have a 1 year old French Mastiff mix (mayb Great Dane or bull dog). I have him trained on the electric stem collar, mainly on tone and vibration. He was listening great until about abt 2 months ago. I could walk him without a leash and have him loose in house at night no problem. Then all of a sudden he started peeing in the house for no reason and not listing on walks. I have started to pen him up again in house and let him loose for small amounts of time and that has taken care of the peeing but his pray drive outside with cats and squirrels has gotten bad. This is my first time ever having a French Mastiff, is this prey drive normal for them? He will not listen, come or anything when he sees one. He has ran in front of cars etc. I have put him back on a leash. But am hoping it will subside soon so I can let him walk without leash.
