. If hogs aren't being located, pup will find something to hunt. I just think your doing more harm than good by running hunt after hunt and not getting pup on the preffered game, this is my point.
i dont agree with that either ... if there is no hogs the dog better not bark unless he is being honest i've got a dog in my yard right now that if another dog is trashin he'll go honor him to see but if he comes back like oh chit it wasn't me .. thats dogs trashin ... an as for puppies ... that just sounds like a good chance to break em ... head them off see what they are runnin dont yell at them catch them in the act an break them you gotta be smarter then the dog if your gunna hunt it

Depending on how much the pup has been exposed to hogs, i wouldnt discipline them for trashing when they are first starting out... IMO, they could take it as they are getting disciplined for hunting... Just get them off and move them on..
Like Bryant said, they're not born knowing what to hunt...
