Many squirrel enthusiasts have different ideas on how to train a squirrel dog. My opinion is that you should first start with good hunting pedigrees. This will increase your puppy's chances of creating a squirrel dog. The following should give you a few suggestions ...
Step 1. Put the puppy together early. Regardless of whether you choose a puppy at the age of 6 weeks or 12 weeks, give him as much human interaction as possible. If you have children, allow them to play with the puppy as much as possible. This is really the fastest way to communicate a puppy.
Step 3: Next about 8-12 weeks of work on basic obedience and by all means a puppy, accustomed to wearing a collar, and working on its crowbar to walk on a leash. If you do this earlier, you will save yourself a lot of future goals in the hunt for forests!
Step 4: At the age of 12 to 14 weeks, start taking a puppy on short walks in the forest for 10 to 30 minutes. This allows the puppy to get what I call Woods the Wise. Woods Wise is nothing but familiarity and comfort with all the different sights, sounds and smells that the forest can offer. It also greatly affects the overall maturity of the puppy.
Step 5: Between the ages of 3 and 6 months, start dragging and fooling around with a puppy with white tails, hides or dead squirrels. Use this time to get your puppy to look for trees in the tail, hide, or a dead squirrel. As soon as the puppy starts barking, proceed to the next step. There are many different methods that can be used to “look up” puppy ...
Step 6: Checkered Protein. This step can be skipped if the puppy has already barked at the wild squirrel. I personally do not like to use the checkered game as a method of training, but it can be useful if you have limited resources to get a puppy to an area where there are proteins. At any place, catch a trap and place a live squirrel in a cage and place the tartan squirrel in a raised place, like a stump, picnic table, brush, etc. D. Walk around the area where the tartan protein is located. This will allow the puppy to find a tartan on it. Because puppy curiosity gets the best of it, it will move closer to check it out! At this time, the sight and smell of a squirrel will excite a puppy. As soon as the puppy begins to bark at the tartan protein, then drink it and encourage it. You can also do this with a tartan squirrel tied to it with a rope. The rope will allow you to raise a squirrel in a tree so that you can bark a puppy. As soon as the puppy consistently barks at the checkered squirrel, he hung the tree for the next step. Please be careful never to overdo the tartan squirrel! Once or twice a lot!
Step 7: Catch and Release! Turn the tattered squirrel free in the area where squirrels select trees are limited, and let the puppy pursue him and HOPE his tree. If it is a tree, then reward the puppy with pleasure and praise. Be careful and never release a tartan squirrel more than a couple of times!
Step 8: At the age of 5 to 6 months, this is nothing more than “Woods Time”. Woods Time is nothing more than a puppy hunt! This is a key ingredient for creating proteins. Everything else is just tips and tricks to speed up the learning process ... Good luck!
Please note: all the ages above can vary greatly depending on the progress of your puppy. Always keep in mind that you are mainly dealing with a child, so do not put too much on them too early. Let the puppy be a puppy. If he succeeds in this ... I have already spoken about this before, and I will say it again: “I could never teach a dog to hunt or a tree to be bred. Processing, obedience, and bad habits that I can work on, but the puppy's instincts and pedigree will take care of the rest. ” There again, all these are my personal opinions and nothing else. This is what works for me ... Hope this helps.
Good hunting!
