Got a new pup yesterday and while I was picking him up we put him out at the bay pen with his sisters and he got real excited and was barking at the pigs and running around with his sisters be out him home and today took him out to a small pig here at the house he ran around the pin but no barking how can I get him more excited I live in the Lufkin area if anyone close has some older dog that he might be able to watch and learn what he is suppose to do or is there something I can do with him by himself

I don't know if this will work but I think it is worth a try...
Take the pup to the pen and tie him up close...then you rattle the pen while you focus on the pig... you need to make it look like you want in yo get that pig...hiss, clap your hands and sic your pup on the pig...if he starts barking turn him loose and continue doing what's working a few more times...
If not working go to plan b and bring on another dog to help him out. ..
as a youngster I started many a pup this way but on other game. ..

You did not state the age of the pup but if you just got him, you need to let him settle in & get used to you and the new place. I have seen older dogs brought to a new place & they did nothing the first time or two. You do not have to overdo it.

Agree with both statements, and cajun's should be heeded first. Give the pup a wk to acclimate to his new environment. After that, follow Reuben's comment and give that a whirl. Another dog would be an asset but if you can't get another dog that will at least run around and bark at the pig.

Why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man's rights as easily as a king can!

I agree...age of pup and giving the pup time to adjust should be first considerations...sometimes it takes a long time to get a pup or dog to warm up to the new owner...doing the right things at the right times will get a dog or pup to come around unless it has bigger issues...but by the way you speak of your dog I don't think it can be much of an issue... |

Went for a walk today with him in a pasture with some woods in the back and he didn't run off but he heard something in the woods while we were walking the tree line he ran in and was barking and growling by the time I was able to get in there whatever it was was gone and he was headed back to me he seems to like the woods and keeps his nose on the ground constantly looking for something
