When I first started... I burned my dogs out in a pen. I worked them three or four times a week. Then we'd turn some the hogs loose and have a "staged" hunt.

Now I will put a pup in the pen a few times to show what a hog is and get them baying... but that's it.

I'll start hunting them in the woods when they're a year old... once they've matured.

This is how some of theses old timers in my neck of the woods do it... seems to work out pretty good.
