Trash breaking pups.

[cowboyup]

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...

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

Just find whatever it is you want to break them off of dead on the side of the road. Make sure its fresh. Put the dog and the dead "whatever" in a 55 gallon drum and roll em down a hill.  just JOKING !!! but I do know an old timer that tried to talk me into doing it with a walker dog that was running deer. He said it worked like a charm. He's real old and didn't have the technology we have today to work a dog with.

Georgia I had an old man tell me that too. And I almost did it. Then it hit me "this is the dumbest freaking idea" lol

I just about had myself talked into it a few times. When a coon hound hits a hot deer track hes out of range in no time. Used to make me so dang mad !!

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
