open mouth dogs

I don't believe there is a way that you yourself can get him out of it. You could not hunt him with other dogs that are open- this would probably encourage opening on track. Best thing to is hunt him as much as you can and hope that he gets less mouthy. I know of specific instances where dogs have started out open and as they age, they tend to get less mouthy. Years ago I had a plott that was open on track. The longer the day went, the quieter she got.

There is hope, but I wouldn't NOT hunt him because he is open. I surely would not use shock therapy- by nature of his breed, he is suppose to be open.

Question though- if you wanted silent- why did you get a plott?
