This is my ages for starting and what they get to do; at 3-6 months depending on the pup they start riding just to get the social skills, 6-9 months they start going to the bay depending on the pup, 9-12 months they start hunting out with the grown dogs depending on the pup. Now there are many varibles that come into play, like.....what do you want the dog to be, how grity, so on......I dont expect much from a pup until 6-9 months old. You can push a pup to much and take the fun out of it for them, then you end up with a help dog at best. I have seen some very young pups working great then by the time they are the right age to work they have no desire to.
I wouldnt do much in the woods with one until 6-9 months old and that would be very limited and controled.
