Two of my dogs, one being a puppy and one being my main strike dog will not hunt at night. During the day they will leave the road no problem and find hogs. But at night they want to stay at the truck or if your walking they want to stay under your feet. Any suggestions on fixing this or what it might be? Are they scared of the dark? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

2 idea neither may work but worth a shot. Put them on the ground bout sunset and let them hunt into the night with dogs that will hunt at night. Second would be get some glow sticks and fasten to collars. A glow stick would be kinda like giving it its own flashlight. It is possible the old dog has trouble seeing at night and a glow stick could help. I figure the pup is queing off the old dog.

Thanks. Very good ideas. I believe the older dog does have a hard time seeing at night now that I think about it. Another dog had one bayed at night and we sent him in for some help and he ran right by the hog.

try casting them out and just you sit there...they might get bored and go off hunting...or, you can go on a high and full moon night when the night is clear and bright...I always felt like we did better on those type of nights...

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...
