We get handle on our dogs first. They come off hog on command. They get behind bike on command. They stop hunting on command. They come when called. Takes longer to get tht done on some but that's why we only hunt one young dog at a time with 4-5 older dogs. They seem to learn better by example. I know I will prolly get some feedback on the coming off hog on command, but we like that. We have hunted some crazy crap and could not get to them in rosé hedge. Have to b able to call them out. We mostly hunt open prairie now and rice fields. All four wheeler accessible. We like to enjoy the hunt and not really have to work so hard at it. I love to watch the dogs work. Nothing greater than seeing that moment a young dog turns on and figures it out. Not sure how far our dogs range out so I guess they go as far as they need too. LOL. We have been hunting for over 20 years and we are just not that mad at the hogs anymore. It's about the dogs now and how they work and progress. I have a Pitt now that I'm working with to have the handle our other dogs do. He runs on ground and does pretty good. Hits like a freight train. He's gettin there. Just a personal challenge for us I guess jut to c if we can do it. LOL.
