<p>I think some dogs are just stubborn. We have an Irish Setter who is. We hired a dog trainer who trains local police dogs who had no success. Haven’t tried an invisible fence, but we had an electric bark collar that didn’t work - kept turning it up; he would bark and yelp and just about wore all the fur off his neck.</p>
<p>He’s 11 years old now and is still a “special” dog. Thankfully he has a sweet disposition, and since he’s old he sleeps a lot now, but is still strong as an ox. He pulled D over a couple of weeks ago, and he’s pulled me down too. And he wears a special leash that supposedly “hurts” if he pulls.</p>
