training a dog to wind.

One way we use to train younger dogs was we would tie up a hog for a couple of days next to a tank and under a tree. Let the area get nice and rank smelling from that stinky boar hog. We would then proceed to road the dog down wind of the area letting them to wind the hog. Once they caught the hang of what we wanted from them, we would change tactics and clip them on the truck and repeat the process. The dogs either knew the hogs were there or would wind them and begin to get excited. We would then unsnap them and allow them to run up and bay the hog for a while and repeat the process a couple more times. Then move on to another scenerio.
