Dane, this is what Im wanting to do with our year old pups. We have them going out and hunting with the older dogs but right now because its so hot, they just aren't getting on enough hogs. So I was thinking about taking one of our hogs and tying it legs together loosely and turning it out for the pups to find. At least to keep them going until it cools off a little.
I do that too, but I take the pig and tie its back leg then tie it to a small brick or weight of some kind. This way the pig can run around and give more of a fight or chase. When they get old enough to trail, tie the pig with sumthing lighter and turn them out at your place give him a head start and turn em loose!!!! This had worked for me very well. My buddy cus the ears off his pigs he uses to train, that way they cant catch them or at elast it makes it very difficult
Good luck on the puppy training.
Matt
