Starting Puppies To Hunt Hogs

if you have access to a baypen, get a more experienced dog in the pen and leave the pup outside to watch, eventually (hopefully) he'll start barking too, when he barks telll him "good boy" or give him a treat or whatever your preference is and like everyone else said, stage hunts, dont put em on a larger pig that can maybe hurt them and ruin their confidence, etc. Also, puppies have ADD (my wife says i do too) dont get discouraged if they give up quick and wanna play.

also to get them used to a boar scent, you can buy wild boar scents online or im sure cody sells them at his store, i dont know what his website is. spray some on something you can drag around for a few yards (increase the distance each time) and drop food (we use cheap weinies cut up) every few yards to make it fun for them, they get used to a pigs smell and have fun at the same time, remember they are puppies and they wanna be puppies, lol, im sure some people would think this method is stupid, but i trained my bulldog to find pigs this way and i guess it worked, he finds em, catches em, or gets cut up, lol.
