Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

I really could not picture what in the world he was talking about. Thanks for taking the time to do that!

Marines I see as two breeds, Rottweilers or Dobermans, because Marines come in two varieties, big and mean, or skinny and mean. They're aggressive on the attack and tenacious on defense. They've got really short hair and they always go for the throat.

i like mine to be round, no corners. Teach them dogs how to shut the hog down. With corners the hog will back up right there and let the dogs bay. Mine was about 3/4 acre. worked good i think cause my 2 bay pen dogs take me money and trophies home every time we run them at Callaways bay pen. I think it will make em better in the woods to cause they learn how to shut down the hog with out any help from any obstructions, such as a corner in the pen or a creek. Example a round pen the hog can run and run in circles till the dog shuts it down. The dog learns how to controll the hog. opposed to a square pen the hog runs to the corner and lets the dog bay him. I think thats just teaching the dog to chase it till the hog stops or comes to an opsticale, such as a creek and a round pen teaches them how to shut it down and controll.

I like the round too. I like the ones made of metal roof panels so they are smooth. You can start with wire to get the shape and then add panels because fence panels or any wire will wear out. Get it up and then look for people giving away scap metal roof panels cheap. They can't get a nose in it.
To make it round put small post in what you want to be the middle. Put a loop in a rope and put it over the center post and figure how big you want it and then use the rope to measure where the pen wall posts should go. When done you can pull the center post out. I have a simple mind so I keep it simple.
