I have 4 bmc x cat pups that are 3 months old. When do i start them in the bay pen and how much does a guy work with them in the bay pen before he turns them loose in the woods. This is my first set of pups, i have always had older dogs. Open to all opinions and input!!!!!

 I just wait til they get a lil age like 8-9months and start staging hunts for em. 2-3 staged hunts and off to the woods they go. Bay pens have their uses but to me a woods dog doesnt need any time in a bay pen.

hunt em hard, give em no excuses, and cull harder!!!!!

He means like having a hog hobbled and dragging it through the woods then letting the dog trail it or just letting it go and haVe it trail it... I'm assuming that's what he means

you can set up winding and trailing scenarios... also finding but I would make sure they will bay a pig before I would go thrju all the trouble...don't let the pups work too long... they have a short attention span. you want the pups to always want a hog so take them out before they get too hot or tired and remember to pet them some...

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...
