I only train one puppy at a time and only hunt one puppy at a time. When you buddy them up with a experience rangy dog in a pen and let them hunt with them they tend to leave your feet and range. Most of our curs won't turn on until 12-18 months, but some are ready to roll 7-9 months. My breaking point is the 18-24 months. The first years I ran into the same issue, but know that my pack is strong it's easier to get a dog going how I like. It's growing pains for sure. What really stinks, is when you give the dog to a buddy and he starts turning it on for them......
