i usually start my pups in the pen at about 4 mo. some will start then some will start later.
after i have them baying in pen i start taking them to the woods on short hunts.
at about 6 mo. they can ussually keep up pretty good, they will have to get lost a few times before they figure out how to find you if they get left behind by the other dogs, they will come back the same way they left ussually.
i always take my pups with a dog they know and want to follow,this will help you alot.
if you can get a started dog that wants to get out or find a buddy that has a dog the pups want to follow.
if you cant find a dog to put the pups with take a small pig and drag it thru the woods then put it in a dog crate or tie it up. then come back with the pups and start walking them thru the woods and let them find the hog sent, they should pick it up.
after a few times of this they will hit the ground looking for a hog.
good luck, craig
