For what it is worth, this is my puppy rule book.
1) Show hog at the house and make sure the pup will bark at hog and is not scared
2) Cut puppy loose to dogs that are already bayed on hog 2-6 times from the mule
3) Hunt pup only during day light with a shock collar behind no BS kind of dogs ONLY
4) Do what I can early on to catch the hog the pup is bayed as quick as possible on for the next several hogs
5) Get to bay and depending on weather let the pup bay for a while and make sure he is going to stay bayed for a good while
6) Eventually take his help away and put them in situations where they HAVE to perform or hog will not be found
This is the ideal way I like to start a young dog.....I like to think they get trash broke by wanting to bay hogs only...
