best thing I everheard of doing on breakin a dog from runnin a possum was to build a pen for the dog and on the top of that build a pen for a possum with a mesh floor in it... Catch ya a possum and put your dog in the pen at the same time , let them live together for a few days .. Once the possum relives him self for the amount of time on the dog than your dog will be so sick of the possum he will not wanna chase 1 again
Never done this just heard it from an old timer......

Had a buddy that would put his hog dogs in a 55 gallon drum with a fresh deer skin and spin him around for a few min.
Told me every time his dogs came across a deer scent in the woods they would get sick and not run the deer

don't do that you'll miss him up.Just remember what the old folks say you can catch more bees with sugar than vinegar. you got alot of time in him just be patient a hard tree dog is gonna tree anything that goes up. I know a few grand nite champs that will tree a opossum sometimes

Dont worry about yet..Wait till he knows what hes supposed to be teeing!! I just whoop the fire outta mine.. I once heard mine half way treeing when she was a pup..I went in and she had a diller in a hole and a dead possum beside the hole
Well I lit in on her that night..Very next turnout she treed another dang possum..When I got there that time I pretty much broke her of it..She will still tree me about 1 a year
