When I start hunting a dog with other dogs it’s not to make them independent or even to make them be quicker or better than the ones I take them with.
I take them with dogs to train or help them understand to tree coon with the screwing up pressure of the dogs around it.
Most dogs today tree a coon alone but when you drop them with 3-4 others they want to join in the party.
I try to keep their mind off the party.
When they consistently can tree coons while others running junk, chasing them all over the woods, leaving trees, hitting up on river banks, treeing in holes and brush piles then I take them back to themselves for awhile.
After that I feel I got a dog to go to town with.
Most get a dog to tree coons but they don’t get the dog where the pressures of the others don’t influence them
To me that is the greatest task. I don’t want to say well if that dog hadn’t done
that mine wouldn’t have. I want mine to have its own mind and not be influenced
negatively by the lot.
Billy, I like your way of thinking, when you get one the way you describe you have both a winner and a pleasure dog. Dave
It don’t matter if I score a 1000 points if I can’t keep them and training them to keep the points is the hardest part.
ALL OF ABOVE IS MY OPINION ONLY AND THAT AND $1 WILL BY YOU A CUP OF COFFEE. IN NO WAY AM I SAYING MY METHODS ARE CORRECT. THEY JUST WORK FOR ME. THERE ARE WAY BETTER DOG TRAINERS OUT THERE THAN I.
