I'm about to start hunting some young dogs, and was wondering which of the two would be better to trash break my pups:
I plan on using Tritronics both ways.
1. Hunt pups with older dogs and zap'em when they trash.
2. I have access to a place that has goats, cows, penned hog, and such. Take the pups there with one older dog and basically introduce the pups to all of the different animals and correct when needed. Basically trash breaking on mock hunts...
I'm open to other suggestions too...
Thx!!!

x2...hunt the pups in the woods and let them bay in the bay pen...they must know it is ok to bay hogs and hunt in the woods before you light em up... send them to the woods 2 or 3 times and they trash right off the bat and you correct them and they might get the message that hunting or going off in the woods is bad...instead of what you are really trying to correct... |

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...
A hunting dog is born not made...

the dogs are a year old, and both have been in a baypen a couple of times... My thought was to hobble a hog & stake it out on the back of the place and walk the dogs around and let them be exposed to all the different animals on the farm & "correct" when needed.
start out close to the hog, and then work towards the "trash"...

Strong positive feed back to a young dog for going after the correct game in the beginning will cut out most (not all) trashy thoughts before they become actions. By showing them what you want them to run either through pen work or hunting areas you know you will get on pigs quick, you get their mind thinking that when they are around pigs, good things happen. This leads to them not even paying attention to most off game species. A young dog that's been handled right and knows what's expected of them is less likely to chase off game than a pup that's just being introduced to a lot of off game in a small amount of time. They will be introduced to cows, deer, goats, domestic pigs, coons, skunks, chupacabras, exotics, ect throughout their hunting lives. If they know what it is that you want, they seem to focus less on what you don't want IMO.
