i personally wouldnt play with weiners and boar p... lol what if you end up training them to only run boars and not sows lmao  That would be my dream dog and in fact that's my next project is to try and make a dog run boars more often than not. I wish I could find a dog that goes around inspecting them ol boars nutsacks, and when they find one that is big enough latch on and hold em til I get there a hog is a hog but I hunt to walk in a bay and see a big boar or Barr popping his teeth and slinging dogs, but that's just me |

I just let mine run loose and run what ever they want. Rather it be deer rabbits hogs etc etc.
Every now and then I'll let them bay in a pen with an older loose baying dog but I don't put them in a pen much.
When they get bout 8 months old I'll start hunting them with a older dog that's going good. After bout two or three good hog hunting trips I start breaking them off of trash.
Prolly not the best way but i think it makes the pups more independent because I'm not always around when they are hunting...

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...

Yeah I'm a firm believer of that Reuben. I do that already, some dogs just naturally like to run boars more.

At 5 weeks I put all the litter in a pen with a tame 10# pig they just play. I will chase the pig and they chase me. My dogs dont touch dirt unless they are training or hunting. each week end I do the same. At 9 weeks they started chasing the pig. then the pig bit them and they started biting back. Now at 13 weeks its starting to get more serious. the dogs chase the pig and the pig will chase them. they bite the pig the pig bites them and they started baying. my dogs dont ever sleep more 50 yards from the smell of hogs. They see the other larger dogs going in the big hog pen, they can hear everything that goes on. As they start barking in there kennel to get out I let them out now and they run around the pen baying like the big dogs. As they grow, the pig they train with will grow. I feel to wait is to waste. I'm not saying to put them in a situation their not ready for. But expose them as much as possible. Thats how Joey dennison did it. Good Luck!

i use the drag method for my pups iuse my old coon roll cage and put a shoat in it hid in the woods then i'll drag a piece of hog hide [from recent kills put in the freezer] and go around and drag a trail back to the cage not away from it [ dont want to teach em to back track ] . this is after they have learned to bay at a pig usually in the cage using an older pup allready baying . it is a lot of fun cause you can watch them run the trail and i''l put hoochie koo's in the line to throw them off and see how long it takes em to line it back out . this is the same way i started my coon hounds . it's really fun when you run a drag and hide a pig and turn the pups loose and they start baying where you know the caged pig ain't and you run in there to hooler at em to get off that trash only to find a differant pig bayed up !! after they get used to trailing the drag i'll start holding them back after they find the pig and turn it loose then let them go find it on there own again
