Whip break her. If you have a bullwhip or a signal-whip that you can pop like a gun shot at least you can get her attention, and she doesn't have to wear the collar all the time. The thing I like about the catahoulas is how easy handling they are. The whip will get their attention every time. The other benefit is if she get's chasin' the neighbours cattle and he shoots at her it will sound like a whip and she'll bugger off and go home. The shock collars are good when we're working more than one and need to be specific who we are correcting, the whip is great if they all decide to ignore me for a few minutes. I try to keep a few treats in my pocket too.... that way they're usually happy to come back to me.
If it ain't a cur, it's just fur.
