Post by: bob on March 15, 2012, 08:50:43 am when we hunt horse back the my catch dogs follow behind the horses , Ive seen craig carry a bulldog that was done , but my opinion , tie the horse up and sack it out , if it is high strung , wear it out by jipping it in a round pin to the point it dont want to be stupid , and then sack it out all over its back and body , get it were it dosent bother it then try it with a calm dog , if the dog is not calm it will probaly go bad , let the hose smell the dog first , Im not a trainer by no means , Ive had my pelvis broke in 5 places , guts went threw my throat because of a horse , be careful and good luck , there is alot of true blue cowboys on this board that can give more input

He is as handy as they come. In the tdha hunt He caught a boar o over 200 and one over 300. On horses you can ride to the bay so you are able back a little dogs game when He catches. T Bob when He gets a Holt he's hanging on like an ear ring. The curs will catch with him. Title: Re: Hunting on horse back?

Not to mention he saves a ton on cut vests and stuff, chance just puts him in one of these (http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac192/t-bobparker/5745fa89.jpg) Title: Re: Hunting on horse back?

Title: Re: Hunting on horse back? Post by: cward on March 15, 2012, 02:11:32 pm Get a good set of saddle bags and put blocks in each side of it. Run a rope from d ring to d ring with a snap in the middle. The blocks in each side of saddle bags will give cd something to stand on.

To catch. It would be easier to carry your dog in front of give up some of your saddle to the dog. Carried alot of calves and feet over the front of my horse. Title: Re: Hunting on horse back? Post by: Bigdog on March 16, 2012, 08:25:54 pm put a shock collar on ur dog take a 10 foot rope an put on him.give him slack and wen he starts to slip off shock him on a low setting and call him to u.if he dont come hit him again and pull him to u.wen he gets to ur side pet him and luv on him.he will learn that wen hes by ur side hes safe from the shock.just do it for a few mins each day so u dont blow his mind.wen its gets to were u cant walk because hes rite under ur feet hes about ready.start walking around ur place each day and let him follow u,if he gets very far away shock him and make him come back to ur feet.u need to take him horse back around the house to teach him to stay with just ur horse.u mite have to lead him aways the firsttime.i have trained them n a few days and sum take longer.wen u get to a bay u mite need to put a rpoe on him and shock him if he tries to leave.after awhile he will stand beside ur horse till u send him.a foot or horseback im not leading a catchdog this is how we train all r catchdogs.even if there r 10 horses he will learn to stay with ur horse.if he ever gets to far away burn him.i like mine to nearly b under my horse.
