Send him out to pee with this in the yard.

The DEC dropped off their robodeer to get reskinned and I was able to get permission to use it for a prop in a presentation I'll be doing for inner city 12 year olds. My golden retriever didn't know what to make of it. He made quite the scene in the back yard.

Later it was time to take it down and I had Bamboo out there with me when he decided to do formal introductions.

I thought it might be interesting to see the gear that the DEC uses to catch poachers. Oh, there is a half cord waiting to be stacked in the corner of the second pic.

The other night I put him out before going to work and there was a moose not even 30 feet from me. Dog damn near drug me down the yard to go after the thing
 
I bought a Fiskars 7854 a couple weeks ago, and when I pulled it out of the box, my golden went ballistic. He freaked out when he saw it. Started charging, retreating, barking. Really weird. I think he thought he was losing his job taking care of the woodchucks...
 
While you re-skinned that robot deer, how many bullet holes were in it from previous poachers?

Since it doesn't drop when hit, I hear the knuckle heads fire multiple times - which only helps the dnr to prosecute. Must be a fun operation.
 
....very funny!!
With my 1 1/2 yr old Aussie Shepherd all I have to do is call her name. She does want to herd my saw when it's on the ground though!
 
Mine would probably just go sniff check out what it was.
If it moved she probably wouldn't go near it.

If I want to get the hair on her back up I pull the hood on my sweatshirt over my head and pull it tight over my face.
I don't know if some young punk wanna-be gangsta teased her some time or if she just doesn't understand my head disappearing, but she goes into threat mode.
I can pull the hood off and she starts wagging her tail. Pull the hood back up and threat mode. Like a switch. I don't think she'd bite me, but I don't want to find out, either. Mastiffs have huge mouths and big teeth that could grab a big hunk .
 
Let the chickens out. My Beagle-Rottie does not know what to do with them. Play? Heard? Hunt?

Mostly she just ends up chasing them into the pond and I have to fish them out.
 
Just looking at my golden retriever gets him riled up!
 
Vacuum cleaner.
 
Wild turkeys who refuse to obey his requests to not wander around the front & rear yards.
 
Some dogs really like deer.......

Wait beagle Rotwielier mix. Hmmmm unusual size difference.

Hopefully, beagle dad, Rottie mom. :lol:

Funny how a dog always knows which end to sniff.... even on a mechanical deer.
 
I have no idea who did what... when we adopted her they said "lab beagle" ... she aint no lab.

Mine goes crazy when she sees, hears, or smells deer. Just this morning she saw a buck & doe while we were on a hike & nearly pulled me over & then spent 5 minutes straining on 2 legs at the end of the lease & making this strange silent-scream type noise that she reserves only for deer. They walk right down the street here, so this happens all the time.
Her main enemy (besides the mail-carrier) is the chainsaw. I can't have her outside at all if I'm gonna fire it up. The instant she hears it she charges with her hair up & mouth snapping.
