  I train all of my dogs in pens before they are allowed to hunt freely. I dont like to hunt young dogs. and I need away to keep them younguns into shape and constantly keep them learning. these pens allow this to happen. I use a 10 acre 100 acre and 200 acre pens to train my dogs.   These are High fenced and filled with hogs from 5 pounds to 500 pounds plus many other animals. This is for training purposes only. To use rcd's, cd's, or gritty dogs in these areas would be alot of work that wouldnt help much. and if you think it is any easier for a young dog to stop a hog in a 200 acre fence you are wrong it is just as hard for the pup to learn to stop the hog as in the wild except for that you know that the hog can only run 5000 yards.

another advatage is trash breaking. Your dogs are always around rams, elk, buffalo, and whatever else is in the pens with the hogs and you can train them to only hunt hogs much easier than in the wild. It is a little more controlled in a fenced in pen.

Some pens I have worked my pups in have pulled out the cutters out so not to hurt the pup as much. Once the pup has learned to handle these hogs you move them into more realistic types of training. Bigger pens with all types of hogs.
