thats a good question... I have never had much luck with it... they either have the hunt in them or not.... If you let the dogs bay, go to the bay, and keep yours on the wheeler and let it watch them and not let it in on it for a few times it mite bring out some desire in them, id work with one at a time and see if it helps... Its not likely tho, some dogs just dont hunt |

Oklahoma Hogger,
Sorry, I was just joking around with Elliscounty. I am sure some people might know how to make a dog range out further, but I don't know the answer. Maybe someone will chime in with some helpful info.

How old are your dogs? Do you think that you have given them the opportunity to reach their full potential?
If not, keep hunting them with rangy type dogs and hopefully they will start going a little farther out each time.

Other than breeeding the hunt, this is the next best thing, and dont let them hunt with another dog that is short range cause they will team up and stay together but if u take one of your dogs with another rangier dog they will eventually start going out with them and MAYBBE get some hunt in them. |

I think you need at least one dog to just be rangey. Then most of the time the other dogs will roll out with that one.

i agree with the others, keep runnin em with a rangy dog, this should help them. if you got one that just waits around your feet on a bay to happen, leave them at home or get rid of em. that causes the other dogs to want to hang around or come back to you instaed of huntin.

I think that you can use some training exercizes . like gaurenteed hunting .1st time hobble ahog up letthe dogs watch him get in tall grass, lethim go 20 or 30 yards then let dogs go find! 2nd time let him get ferther 50 or 60 yards, 3rd time 100 yards so on so forth before long they should be using there noses then they will start to range better. we do alot of this kind of training durring these summer months. quick training sessionsin the heat!!might not work for all dogs but a good way to get em out from under your feet .JMO . GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!!!

I had a cat dog that i got when she was 9 months old and i grabed her by the collar and nearly threw her in the river several times but she was all i had at the time so i held on to her, we went on a hunt down south and caught 15 hogs and she bayed the last one and when i got home i told my bud she had two more hunts and i was done with her, so guess what she did the last hunt CLICKED and she turned into the best hog dog i ever owned, she was a long range find anything type dog |

I think that is something you breed for and the next step would be hunting the dog when they are young with dogs that are long range. If you cant find a long range dog it would be best to hunt the dog by itself so it dont pick up short range habits. 99% of the time the young dog you are running with older dogs they will pretty much be what you are hunting them with. No offense but 20 or 30 yards is horrable in my book, mine go that far just to piss and sh*t and then haul a** from there.

depending on where you are hunting long range dogs can get you in a bind, i think if you buy finished dogs you should get a mixture of both, if your hunting a small place, dont bring the long range dogs.
Your dogs do need to range out further than 30 or 40 yrds and they probably just need to be on more pigs more often. If you have a pup try kenneling them up with a long range dog so they get buddy buddy with them. Pup will probably follow that dog more likely than not. Also dont pet the dogs till your done with the hunt or after you catch a pig. When im hunting my dogs are tools not pets. Its time for them to get out and work not time to sit at your ankles trying to get TLC. The TLC comes when they get there job done.
