i start my pups around 12 mnth just riding the hood and i snap them to the hood im teaching them to ride. after couple wks you can un snap them and they will ride with the old dogs. as time goes by they learn from ol dogs. i like to hood hunt because i cover more ground and save the dogs energy. plus all my places to hunt you can drive and i dont want to walk my dogs cause im a bit lazy.

but the way i do it works for me, it just takes time
