Guest EWOK Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 To all; I've read this site a few times and have enjoyed the talk, I live in eastern NC, USA and hunt deer with dogs. Up until last year I used fox walkers and july walkers but had a very bad time with a resident and his pit bulls, long story. Sold all my dogs but missed having hounds so now I have four plott pups that are 3-4 months old. I read were you do alot of obeidance training with your dogs, we here do very little of this. I've run dogs for about 15 years now and raise and run mine much like eveyone else here. We simply keep the pups in the pen till they are 6-7 months old and then take them to a fox pens for a week and then start turning them out after deer from then on, this seems to work well as far as the running goes but, at least as far as I'm concerned, the dogs lack discipline, some are hard to catch and stopping them from crossing a highway is next to impossible. I also have problems with dogs that bark while inside the dog box on my truck. I'd really like to make these pups different than my others and hope you could give me some advice on your the training, oh I don't like to beat a dog as some here have suggested, I believe that dogs, like women, if you have to beat them I don't want to be around them. Thanks for any help. EWOK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
