EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

So I got a new cur gyp about a week ago and she's still acting very nervous and timid around me. I usually raise dogs from pups so I've never had an issues bonding with a new dog. The gyp is around 2yrs old and I try to go out to her kennel and spend a few minutes with her every hour or two. Early last week I also chained her up out with me while I hung out in the front yard doing yard work and ect. She gets excited when I walk out to her kennel but the minute i let her out she tucks her tail acts real timid. Any advice on how to bond with her. I know it's only been a week but just wanted to know of any tips to speed up the process. Thanks!

Get you a few packs of cheap hot dogs. Every time you let her out pet her praise her and give her one

I went through the same thing with my dog Dixie (BMC/Walker). I just get loving on her and taking me with her and when I fed her I would sit next to her bowl while she ate and pet her.

Side Bar: Some people will disagree with what I did/do because some treat there dogs as tools and some as family and thats ok. With me it's family.

load he up in the truck and take her for a ride...then leash her up and take her for a long walk every day for at least a week...lots of petting and treats and she should improve...

If she will come to you don't worry about it just take her hunting with the other dogs .  Best way to bond with one is in the woods as she will see how you act and what you want and apply her self accordingly .  Some dogs are just shy its their nature it will take care of itself in the long run .

i no the dog u got and give her time, she very shy but turn her loose and she will hunt and be caught when she gets to the bay

Usually when I want a female to warm up to me I buy her a beer or two works all time time!!! Oh wait we're talking about your new dog... Ya give her some time it took Rj awhile to warm up to me...

Thanks guys. I'm sure she'll warm up to me after a while. Fonzy I have a feeling it takes more than just 2 beers to get girls to warm up to you!

X2, mine are family. People say not to get close to your dogs but I've found that hard not to do.

X3...the better hog dogs they are the more special they become...

I like keeping pups that I really I like because it helps to have that bond...and when the pup turns out just like I hoped it just doy bles the pleasure and helps in forming that special bond...
