Years ago all my dogs were great alone but I tested all pups and turned them out alone just to see what was in their nature...every dog I bred was tested to range, strike, and stick with a hog...no training to speak of because the goal was for identifying and keeping pups born with "natural born" ability...

I now hunt a new pack of dogs and I do not have my own places to hunt...my dogs do not do well alone because i  cast them together...when i cast one alone it will wait on company most of the time...sometimes they will go alone...most of these issues are caused by how i hunt them now...i can mix or match any two dogs and they will leave out quickly and they will find one pretty quick close by or a long ways off if needed...
Sometimes i don't cast them because my buddies dogs won't go to mine if they strike too far...so i keep mine tied back and wait for his to strike and then i cut mine loose...if his dogs don't strike i will cast mine at that time...i am about to get a big place and I will then hunt my dogs a different way...the way the dogs hunt has a lot to do with how we hunt them...I am talking about dogs that hunt...dogs that hunt can be molded to hunt in various ways...

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...
