I've been trying and trying with a couple my dogs and I never get anywhere. So I just don't run with other strange dogs much. If I run with a friend I leave them home. They pack up fine with my pack. Other dogs introduced NOPE they don't hunt anymore. I will never know why they do it. It will remain a mystery for me.

Joey I havethe same problem with my best female. I bought a gyp from Danny Catron and she packs up great but my other female wont packup with any other dogs except the one I got from danny. I just built a 2 acre running pen and I figured it being such a small place, I could maybe force her to running with other dogs when I put a couple of my others in with her...I honestly dont know the solution either but I'm gonna try any and everything and if I find out what works I'll let you know.

got a female will be 5 in may. will run with my other dogs and a few others but will not run with dogs not used to. raised her from 6 wks. old. will not run junk, handles good and can flat smoke a bunny when she wants to. i guess she will retire here. would breed her if i knew she would not pass it on. :?:

Put your dog on a lead with the pack running until she can't take it and wants to go bad then cut her loose, if she does not go leash her up again and repeat until she packs.

Run the dog with other peoples dogs only until the dog goes with them.If the dog will not go with them eventually I dont know what else to tell you.In my experience dogs would rather run with kennelmates than anything.
