I am trying to train my first pup. She is 8 months old. When I put a pig (20lbs or so) in the back yard she will corner it. She will get face to face, or she will just walk up and look down at it. When the pig jumps or nips at her, she will turn tail and run. Then come right back to holding the pig in the corner.
Is it time for a lil bigger hog? I have a lil boar about 50lbs. I think he would be a lil rougher on the pup.
I know 8 months is late but she was out for 15 weeks with a broken humerous. I put the lil pig with her for the first time in 16 weeks and she was right were we left off.
Thanks

If you have another dog that will bark, let the puppy watch and hopefully imitate, and don't get in a big rush to introduce a rougher hog, let the dog figure this thing out and have fun.

I tried that route this afternoon. The older dog just ran in and grabbed the hog. I'll be back at it tomorrow evening.

try using a smaller dog to start him with. Those little dogs will really get young dogs barking. I used to have a half chi and half minpin. Boy he thought he was as big as the big dogs. He would really get them pups excited. Just dont use the wife's lap dog lol

X2 x3 do not rush the pup. You must let the pup do it on its own... Otherwise it will be a setback if you try to force train. Your job is to figure out what will make the pup bay without harsh treatment of any kind at this point. All the above posts have good advice. |

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...

Today went so-so. I brought the older dog in along with the bigger pig. I turned loose the older dog and pig with my pup outside the fence. All she did was whine and bark to get inside the fence. The older dog was just catchingon the pig. But, when the pig would start to squealing my pup would go to barking. I ended up tieing off the older dog. The older dog would bark, and the pup would fall back into her same routine. I will try putting the pig in a cage next time. Here is a video from 3 months ago. . .  |
