Catch dog help needed.

Thanks for the input. That brings up another problem. I let all my dogs out to run every day. I will have to put him in a dog box or something while the rest are out. For right now he is on a chain. I am not sure if he will stay on a chain or a kennel for good. I am going to worm him and give him a vac. shot today. He seemed good with my lacy pup that was in the box next to him on the 2 hr. ride home. I wouldnt say the female plott x lacy I have is dog aggressive, she is just very alpha. Also when the neighbors dogs come over she gets blood in her eyes. But around the others dogs I own she is fine. And as far as being able to control the situation, I have yet to find a dog that can fight with a hole in its head.

Testing, I know that they can be hard headed but how could teaching him that cows mean pain be a bad thing? I am not dis agreeing just tring to learn. Also I would rather know that he dosent do well with other dogs before I ever get him in the woods. I know that when in the woods that any good hunting dog should have one thing on his mind- but we all also know that crao happens. I just want the "crap" to happen at the house vs. the woods. And on the cow part- I dont want to chance him takeing down a calf either at te house or on someones ranch.
