With a name like Bronson, he'd have to be English.

Pansy, did not remove the rubber bands.

I take the rubber bands off when I do that with my German Shephard Dog. It
doesn't matter, a lobster is the only thing I've ever seen scare him. He
won't go within 4 feet of the critter(s). I think he nudged one in the head
with his nose once, and the spines got him. Ever since then, he just stands
off and barks at it.

I always save a bit for him when we're done... sweet revenge. g

What does your GSD do when he hears thunder? My 110 lb GSD would would
try and get under the bed when he heard thunder, firecrackers or other
loud noises. He looked damn funny with his head under the bed and his
body, from the neck to the tail, sticking out.

Currently we have a Beagle mutt male. Worst thunder storm in the world
could go right over our house. He would just stand there.

Beagle's are interested in only one thing and that is eating. They ignore
all other stimulus.

I don't' know.

My neighbor used to have beagles, and they did a good job of howling
all night.

Occasionally he'd take them rabbit hunting, so he said. Actually I
think he kept them around just to bug the neighborhood.

That's not true. You have to watch beagles, they'll dig under a fence
in a heartbeat if they get on a scent, and will follow it until you
never see them again!

He just looks in the direction of the noise. My last GSD did as yours, and
went for cover. This one has a rock solid temperment. The breeder we got him
from does a wonderful job, breeding for temperment and work. I started
training him for Schutzund, but I didn't have the patience for the tracking
part of it.
