Ridgeback needs Training

i don't know, can't say i fully agree with that. i have heard for years and years that too much pen time can have a bad effect on a dog. have had people in this sport for many more years than i have been say that it can take some of their drive to go out and find a hog out of them.
now, not saying this happens with your dogs. but when that many old timers say the same thing about pen training a dog too much, i know there must be something to it. here in east texas it seems to be a tip that's been passed down for quite some time. remember, what works one way for some might not work the same way for others. we all catch hogs on here, so maybe one way isn't the only way.
