Being new to hog hunting. I was looking for suggestions on introducing 2 one year old dogs to an existing pack of dogs that my friend hunts. Thanx gabe2138@aol.com 3619602800 |

Just kick em out and let them run with them. They should be alright. You can keep an eye out for one thats acting agressive but other than that they should figure each other out.

most of the time it will be ok to let them out together...but every once in a while you might have a dog or 2 jump and whip a young dog that hasn't learned the ropes...if your hunting buddies have these type of dogs then don't turn your young dogs loose until all are ready to start hunting...this gets the dogs minds on hunting and all should go smoothly...having the dogs mill around while gearing up could be trouble...I would do this way a few times until the dogs know each other...

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...

Couldn't have said it better myself, i've never seen two dogs that were huntin and busy fight, its the slack time in between that will cause problems. "the sun is shining somewhere in texas" -Jason Boland |

i would clip them to a twin lead to a stranger dog, let them sniff, look for any signs that one dog is trying to bully another. You should instantly correct any aggresive signs being that you are the alpha and they are the pack

Would it be smart to start off running both dogs with the lead dog and then slowly introduce the others one by one?
