I start all dogs outside a trap. I get a dog that knows what is up and they are on the outside. I used a pen but the dogs jumped in so now I use a trap with a top. It is just so they know what I want. After they are gett'n after the hogs I trash break so they know what I don't want. Then just hunt them. A dog jumping out of a pen is a cull to me. I ad a dog get caught sideways and knocked into the air. But he turned and grabbed the pig's ear on the way up so he did not go far. I don't want a dog that quits. I would rather have a pot licker that won't give up than the best nose on a quiter.
That was my first thought on the whole deal. Dog was overloaded at the time but I thought he had already been introduced to hogs but he had never seen them. So little more time and patience and I'll see how he does again. He's not mine and the guy that owns him doesn't really hunt...I like the breeding on the dog for possible breeding down the rd to my gyp IF he does a complete turn around on how he does if not I have no use in the dog and he can do with him as he pleases
