There is a lot of info on squirrel dogs on Squirrel Dog Central and the UKC Message Boards.

skin a squirrel and pull the hide over a small water bottle, put it on a string on a long cane pole get the pup started chasing it on the ground then drag it up the side of a tree, keep it low at frist to make the pup bark at it .

 if you can't get it with an older dog to help start it this works pretty good.

 good luck.
