Two most common mistakes people make training woods dogs in a baypen, is using it more than a few times and leaving the pups in too long.
Let the pups bay a few minutes, then catch them and get them out right when they're the most fired up. Makes them want it even more the next time. Young pups get bored easily and boredom is never a good thing.
I agree with this statement. But you need to consider the hog you use also. Alway be sure to have a hog that will flip out when the dogs bay it because sometimes the hog gets used to the dogs also and it just stands there. You want to build their confidence and a hog that is either trying to get the heck out of there or fighting back will do this better. IMO
