Close Hunting Dogs

The key is to be sure they are tone trained to come in before you ever attempt to tone them off a hog. Only use the tone for that purpose. Lots of folks tone them for everything and that just confuses the dog. I've seen people tone them to "get ahead" and then turn around and tone them to come back haha. I think the worst is tone, tone, tone, then shock for running trash... if they're trashing it's straight electricity. That tone should only mean one thing... come back. The only other thing I'll tone mine for is raising hell on the buggy... one little beep and they know to shut up. It takes time, but well worth it and can save a lot of headaches and prevent some bad situations from happening.
