Getting a dog to turn on for a new owner...

Two problems as I see it. New owner, and new hunting style. The new owner thing can be difficult....some dogs it will make no difference, some will adapt with time and some will never hunt as well. Another thing people often don't consider along those same lines is new dogs. Some get used to hunting with a certain pack and won't do much with a lot of strange dogs around. One of my best dogs is just like this...I could sell him for $50 and I can guarantee in a few weeks people would bring him back. When he hunts with me and my other dogs, I wouldn't sell him for a hundred times that.

As for the hunting style..I agree with cantex and would hunt her the way she is used to. You start walking or riding an atv with any of my dogs on the ground and they're going to trot along beside or even right behind you. It's not what they know. Shut that machine off and stay put for a while and they'll be deep in the woods before you know it.
