Hello! Congrats on your new puppy!

'now tell me about how you teach them not to hunt? He was up to some ducks last time..breeder said if of leash i should run and hide, or correct him if leashed.. What methods you use?'

If I knew my dog would run off after animals, then I will not let him or her off leash until we have proofed a good ' leave it' command. But of course it takes a long time, and even then some dogs' prey drive is too strong to teach an infallible ' leave it' to, and those dogs just cannot be off leash then.. I have a dog like that so she is never off leash.
