I would make the dog level (straight) and check again. If not try new dogs. You could call Cavens and ask them what to do. They're very customer friendly. Please post again if you find out the fix I would be interested NYSTA, NTA, FTA, life member Erie county trappers assn.,life member Catt.county trappers
