I feel your pain Clue but they have to learn. I keep a nutria in my freezer and give the young dogs the treatment before I take them to the marsh. Depending on the time of year I also kill a couple of deer and give those young dogs the treatment with that. I like doing it at home and not during hunting. How many times have we turned dogs loose on deer and shocked them and some wont leave your feet after that.
I agree…super gamey pups that roll out deep will be trashy…the worst trash by far is running deer…after the pups know what a hog is the next thing is breaking them off of deer in the dog pen and in the back yard…usually by 6 months of age…
Shocking pups in the woods can cause setbacks…
