Barking at game or anything
I have a Sheppard hound mix, I have been working with her for awhile. I have had other animals trained a pitbull and such . Just for anything birds, rabbits , light tracking .
Problem with the new dog is she barks at cars and goes nuts in the house biggest problem. In the field she tries to catch and kill rabbits chases about anything while barking.
I have tried about everything that has worked for me in past nothing helps. I hate the thought of using a shock collar or having a dog tied outback doing nothing .
Anyone have any ideas that would help? thanks for any help

You will not be able to fix the barking. This is a characteristic of the dog. You can decrease it temporarily by running the dog with a bark collar, but it will never go away completely.
To stop the chase, you need to teach your dog whoa. Anytime she comes in contact with game, you will need to whoa her. Eventually she will make the connection
