You'll have people tell you...just let them be puppies and start taking them to the woods when they're 6-8-10 months old. Never put them in a pen...etc, etc. I guess there are different ways.

I like to show mine a pig when they're young. I try and start mine about 12 weeks, on a little shoat. I use a pen. Biggest thing is....don't let them get wrecked. Better they catch than get beat up. They may not start up right away....don't worry bout that...just keep trying every couple weeks. I keep that up, every 2-3 weeks till they are 4-6 months old if I can, depending on their progress.

At 4-6 months, I drag and tie out a pig and do mock hunts.

Once the pup shows me he's ready, quits acting so much like a pup and shows some focus, ill start taking him to the woods. The ages will vary...could be 7-8 months could be 10 months. Just whenever he's ready.
