At what age do you start trash breaking pups? Do you use a shock collar or a firm voice?

I don't like to trash break until they are grown and know what game they are supposed to be after. Once I decide to break them I use the highest setting on the shocker. Just be 100% sure they are trashing. I do break them off stock as soon as they start to show any interest in them. Start with a scolding and work up to a shocker.

it is ongoing for pups...but if at all possible have them baying shoats before breaking them off of unwanted game...
I wouldn't break them off of unwanted game in the woods until they have been running hogs a few times...so turn them out when the dogs start a hog or in real fresh hog sign...
if you turn them out and they run into a deer they will give chase or even a hot deer track...and if you shock them they may interpret the reprimand as bad things happen when I go to the woods...and they may quit hunting...so make sure to put them on hogs first...
on gamey hard hunting pups I will break them off of deer at home using a little deer scent and shock therapy...

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...
A hunting dog is born not made...

I personally will use a firm hand to break pups off of trash as soon as they know what a pig is. That don't mean see a pig one time in a pen. It means know the smell of a pig, know what it is and means to him

Old timers use to use a shock box too. It was a metel box with a pulley system they'd tie a deer hide or what ever trash game to the rope and pull it down there with the pulley then when it got there light their ass up. I heard they used a extension chord and 110v but I ain't sure on that. These dogs have forgotten about the good ole days lol |
