Starting pups

I don't think you get it . you are not trying to '''make'' a dog these exercise are only allowing a dog to do what they are naturally gong to do . just starting at a much younger age and in a controlled setting . if the dog ain't got it it ain't gonna get it no matter what you do or how young you start them . i have done both the waiting till their old enough to keep up and starting them as pups , some from the same litter . but the pups with early training were out hunting with the big dogs while the ones held back were still figuring it out . but in the end both made dogs . i just get a lot of enjoyment with messing with pups from a young age and either way is fine if you wanna wait , call me impatient lol when i was on the farm i never penned pups till i would get tired of hollering at them to leave the cows alone and to quit terrorizing the barn cats that is them training themselves in an uncontrolled setting when they started getting gamey like that it is time to start having them focus on the intended target animal in a controlled setting , and it works well for me heck i got nothing but time anymore .
