Does anyone horn train their hog dogs? I used to run fox and coyote hounds and I always horn trained them thought it might be useful for hog hounds as well. Opinions?

I used to have my dogs trained to the truck horn as well as a bull horn...but early 1990s technoloy (4 wheeler and tracking system) changed all that...  |

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

I blew my at feed time and carried a coffee can of dog food,when I called em in I gave em a few bites before I put em in the box.When they are hungry that horn meant food and they came running.

thats when i do my horn training at feeding time . it has almost allways worked  then sometimes blowing the horn just gives you something to do while waiting on the dogs to come in also banging the metal feed pans together when feeding the young pups solves all problems with a dog being gun shy when older . and sorry reuben when garmin and the 4 wheelers will make a dog quit runnin and come back from the other side of the river or property line i'll quit using the horn  |

Its handy. I've always just tought them come to my call and then incorporate the horn after that. How do you teach them to come to the horn? Waylon |

waylon i just blow the horn at feeding time and they get to associate the horn with me and food . then i;ll work them seperatly by blowing the horn and using come here commands while there on a long line . and then now i'll take a couple to the woods with an e-collar on and while they are in sight i'll blow the horn and hollar here and if they dont respond i'll buzz em a little . then i;ll blow the horn and no command and if they don't respond i'll buzz em . bout like using the tone function on the e-collar . now the horn ain't a magical flute some dogs is hard headed and won't quit and come in . but it will stick with most dogs and end a race or make em quit huntin and come back in .

My hunting partner has some good hog dogs. About 3/4 mtn cur and 1/4 pit and these dogs won't quit a bad runner that runs in circles in the thick briars...we have to walk in and pull them off the track... |
