Title: How often to train pups Post by: Sourlaken357 on August 17, 2015, 05:08:10 pm I am new to hog doggin and new to site. I have 4 bmc pups with a touch of hound that are 4.5 months old. They have just seen their first pig and 3 of the 4 bayed. I was wondering how often to show them a pig?

Title: Re: How often to train pups Post by: Pwilson_10 on August 18, 2015, 06:38:27 am I got 3 pups the same age as urs and what I do is when I go to feed them I turn them out to play and I got a bay pen that is 300 yard from there pen on the other side of the house and as there playing in the yard and stuff I clean there pen get there feed and clean water and then go looking for them I let them find them pigs there self and pretty soon when u turn them out of the pen they will hual ass straight to the bay pen that's when I know it's time to go to the next step but it may take them awhile to find the pigs and they may never u may have to just walk by the pen and then walk back but never say nothen to them or any thing this way will let u know if them pups are gamey to that's the way I do it

The worst thing u can do is get upset with them if they show interest keep at it just keep in mind that they baby's. A few min at a time is plenty. Take a old towel thro in with a pig get it good and stinky put a small pig in it hide it in the woods a short ways off drag the towel to the pig then turn pups on it and have fun
