My pups are 4 months. I've bought some hog scent and I take hot dog wienies and cut up into pieces. I then make a scent trail 10 or 15 feet long and place a wienie then make another trail from that and Place another wienie etc. I also take some hog scent and wienies and put in ziplock bag. I'll throw them around in the backyard. It's fun to watch. They will work the scent out and find them. Sometimes it takes a bit but they will find them. This how my friend that raises them starts his. Hope it helps.
you might be new but it is close to how I tested and then selected pups for hunting...
