I spend alot of time with my pups, I only want them to know 3 things come, down and get out. I never use treats. I will start working pups outside with an older dog at 6 months these are day time dry training runs, I just want the pups to run with an older dog and stay packed-up and run. I will let them see a small hog about twice a month to start. I like them to spend time loose and following me around the house while I do chores. On a skittish pup I will take them with me everywhere I go 24/7 untill its better. The pup must have trust in you as a leader and not be afraid, a scared dog will not get out and hunt. Not alot of petting just a rub here and there. If the dog has got some hunt to it it will hunt, I believe that confident dogs hunt the hardest with more range because they are not afraid of making a mistake. The better he knows you the better he will read you and the better he will hunt, just my thoughts I raise and train 1-2 full litters a year, I have 10 6 month old pups I am working with now.
