In my training and learning if you throw a dog in a BAY pen too much then it will have a great effect on a dog.
Brute you are right in a pen in the woods they are all hog dogs and are trained to work a hog. However i just feel that with my strike dogs i like to keep them outta the pen becasue i want them to know they have to find the hog if they wanna play
. I dont want them to feel like i am going to put a hog in front of there face 2-3 times a week unless they get out and find it. Brute not to be rude or anything but just opinion, do you think that because you put your dogs in a bay pen so much cause them to be so short range?
Sorry i posted at the same time sean did. But i think we are on the same page and yes this is just what has worked for me and what i have been told so, not to say brutes way is wrong, just tring to help and i know you are trying to get some rangeier dogs and i think that might have an effect on that.
