If you have enough land you can drag a pig a lil ways and the 1hobble it. let them work the trail just make sure they are not trying to make a habit of sight hunting it.

Yeah whatever you have to work with. just dont let the dogs know you are taking the hog out there so they dont just go where they see you fooling around. Also i would wear rubber boots just because I think they help cover scent so the dog is not tracking you. Good luck.  |

i would go put the hog out then go back and get your pups. once they start , wait maybe an hour or longer before you take them to look for the trail.. you can see what kinda nose they have while training..

A staged hunt with a hog is a great idea for pups and some good pointers have already been offered.
Just in case you dont have a spare hog laying around at the moment try what I have done over the years.
Load up the pups and take them to the woods. Find fresh hog sign that is only an hour or two old, turn the puppies loose and sit down for a wile. Sit there till lunch if you need to but dont go anywhere. Just let them hunt.
The natural hunt (if they have it) will come out and they will start hunting. Opportunity and time is all it is.
This is my favorite way to evaluate a young dog by himself also.
It is not rocket science or a mystical training technique. You dont have to be the dog whisperer either. You are simply giving a pup the opportunity and "time" to do what he was bred for. Sometimes they find the hogs and sometimes they dont.
A few old timers on this site keep preaching "Slow Down!". They are so right! This is some of the best advice you can get in my opinion and guys like me cant hear it enough.
One thing I have learned with dogs is you cant make them hunt. Regardless of how bad we want a dog to hunt, it aint gonna hunt unless "IT" wants to. Chew on that one wile you watch your pups work that sign.
Hog dog breeders should breed for traits to make their dogs better. Speed, drive, nose, confirmation, agility, brains, etc, etc, for good reasons but, none of that finds a hog.
The smartest, fastest, prettiest, best made dog alive cant find a hog unless it "HUNTS" one.
Give your pups the best opportunity you can to find a hog. Then give them plenty of time to hunt one.
Thats what I think anyway.
