whats the best time to start a catchdog??

The way we do it is to make sure that the first hog you do put him on, make sure he can catch it .. Dont bust his confidence on the first hog..9 out of 10 times the first time he tries it he wont know where to catch it at.. Let him run it around until he catches it and then go to him and flipp the hog and pull him off... Put him back on the ear of the hog while the hog is down and let him hold it for a while. Do this about 4 or 5 times and he should have it down pat after that. Makin em catch is the easy part, then you gotta put a handle on him after that, GOOD LUCK
