@LawrenceGerald A Basset Hound is like having stubborn a 3-year-old.
They mostly do what they want unless there's a carrot involved.
By carrot I mean fresh egg, a little ham, or some other form of food.
They are great with kids and other dogs though.
Honestly, I think he only decided to help me herd the chickens into the coop because it meant getting his customary fresh egg faster.
"The faster them cluckers get in the coop, the faster I get my egg. Fine, I guess I'll give you a hand."
