Pen vs. Woods

[cantexduck]

No, not all pen dogs are hog dogs, but some are.

I prefer to keep my dogs in shape in a 5-6 acre pen.  This make them use their nose, stretch their legs a bit.

I also run 110meter sprints with my dogs every other night.  We do this on concrete with exactly 60 sec of rest inbetween.  I do this on concrete for the dogs pads.  And wouldn't you know it the only dog I can't run sprints with because he is too wild is the only dog with pad problems.  I try to run between 10-15 a night. THIS REALLY HELPS ON RECOVERY TIME, FOR THE DOG AND YOU!!  I also try to run the dogs about another mile or so through a field afterwards.

I was waiting for that arguement. And yes, I run a low 4 ,40 still at the age of 28.
     Tell you what. To save me from having to do alot of typeing. Take a pen dog and a woods dogs to the woods(or pen) and dump them out this afternoon. Tell me what dogs drop out first.

Savoy I know your lanky a$$ cant sprint 

    I only run for money, it hurts too much. Bring it.

I can tell you for sure that my best woods dog is not a dog at all in a pen. She's pretty embarrassing in the pen - a little catchy and the wench doesn't bark much. Most people that have hunted behind her though will vouch that she's a pretty ok dog in the woods with a mouth you can hear for miles. So I guess it goes both ways that pen dogs don't always make good woods dogs, and woods dogs don't always make good pen dogs.

stress and excitement does nothing for muscle. I really think it wears them down faster.

Dont get me wrong I think that you could do either one and be good with it

I wasnt saying that there is a wrong and a right way. I was just saying what you were trying to pass as be fact was nothing more than your opinion. You were comparing the way he prefers to exercise his dogs to yours and you said your way was far better as a blanket statement.

Its getting thick in here now. Some people may not understand how fast this is, but only 3 of the top 25 2009 NFL rookie prospects Runningbacks  Ran faster than a 4.45 at Pro day.

 I wasnt tring to come across like that. The way i do most things are the wrong way in fact.


     anything under a 4.55  40 is lows 4 to me and prolly most other people.

 And to clear something up. Over 25 WR in the 2009 draft ran a 40 under 4.5.

  I dont like to put dogs in a pen to train or to "get into shape". If that whats works for you then great, more power to you.

yall sound like a bunch of old ladys jus go hunt 7 days a week an they will be in good shape

[muleman]

i would have to say that putting a puppy in a pen to introduce it to pigs but what a grown dog does in a pen has no bearing on what he will do in the woods. I dont think they learn a thing. best way to keep them in shape is to keep hunting them.
