When I start carrying a young dog to the woods I just tone them when I call them in even if it's 20ft to load up if they're way out and I whooooopwhoooop I give em a couple tones when I repeat I give em a couple tones.when they come in I praise them.Pretty soon I can tone them in from whatever distance.I don't shock them to get them to come.I only use that for trashing with no tone and have learned to only use when totally necessary like trashing on cows or when their heads burried in a armadillo hole or I see them jump a deer.The shocker can really set one of these cur dogs I raise back and they don't forget it to easily so you have to be very careful.My bulldogs on the other hand get a tone then electricity very quickly if they don't respond to the tone.If I send one to a bay and the bay breaks and runs I tone then light them up if they continue the chase and repeat before long if a bay breaks I can tone him in real quick and regroup so we don't have a bulldog a mile off through hell catching out.
