MOST DOGS WILL LEARN TO HONOR A BAY, BUT IVE SEEN A FEW THAT NEVER WOULD, I DIDNT SEE THEM LONG. IVE PUT A DOG IN A BAY PEN AND TIE THE OTHER DOG OUTSIDE THE PEN AND LET HIM YANK THE CHAIN GOING CRAZY FOR A LONG TIME, THEN LET HIM IN THE PEN WITH THE OTHER DOG. YOU CAN ALSO KENNEL DOGS TOGETHER TO GET THEM TO HUNT WITH EACH OTHER. I DONT CATCH A LOT OF HOGS WITH A WHOLE PACK OF INDEPENDANT DOGS THAT WONT HONOR ONE ANOTHER.
I agree...I like an independent hunting dog but he must honor a bay or a strike unless he struck his own simultaneously...
