dog catching?

[skunkhounds]

ya you might controle it for awhile but its not going to change what he is at heart  a rough dog

[Texasreaper86]

I put mine in a pen over the weekend and when i had him with other digs he would bay then catch out! I put him in by himself adn he didnt want none!!! I couldnt understand why but when the hog would beat him a litle he would run away then start barking again, I put the help dog back in and he was all business after that. I dont really know why he wont bay by himself but its good to know your dogs and know what ther limitations are. Maybe you should see how he holds his own with no one to help him see if he gets the point then.

Hope this helps man good luck!

I just take what I don't like and find someone that likes it. I like to take credit for training a dog but to be real it it the dog doing what it does. A dog that can find and catch would be liked by many people. I only shock for trash breaking. Go after a cow and they get shot so a shock can save their life. If the dog is not hunting the way you want be honest and someone will want the dog. Just make sure you give the dog to a friend or you will see it for sale Just my opinion and it is worth what you paid for it.

But it is your dog so you can do what you want.

Anybody ever run a blue heeler x pit ? Just wandering which end they go to? Don't figure they would be able to travel very far and would probably fight anything that came in sight.

what that dog is doing is more from lack of confidence than anything else.

Na He works really good by himself but after he got knocked around he still worked good he just didnt want to run in and catch he would run back from the hog but either way he is still working really well just not as gritty by himself but tits good for him because he stil bayes and works but now he has more respect for what hes doing.

your first post is a bit of a contradiction to what you just wrote.  confusing a little really.

Sorry yea i see what your sayin. I said he wasnt baying. I meant catching my fault.
I wanted him to stop catching and bay more i put him in by himself he stopped he got beat a little and then would bay..
 You said it was from lack of confidence..

i said no he still worked just didnt run in an catch sorry if it was confusing.

The point i was tring to make was when he went in alone an relized he couldnt catch alone he stoped and bayed so IMO he did what i wanted i didnt want him catching out everytime.I said in the beginning i was gonna do that and see how it worked out so i was just lettin him know that it seemed to be working

yeah i got ya now...

I would never shock a dog off of a hog period. You shock them on deer to stop them from running deer, why would you burn them on a hog?

Every dog I seen that's been shocked on a hog, I would never feed.

Give the dog experience, it will either learn to bay or get really good at catching and handling hogs. If the dog doesn't fit your pack because of this. Get rid of the dog to someone who can use it, and get something that fits into your pack better.
