Cur or hound ?How do you start young pups on coon?
This is how my great uncle did it. He said when that coon got the dog by the nose, and it will....will determine if its fit to train any farther.Catch a coon and put it in a roll cage to get the pup fired up. As said above hunt the pup with good trained dogs when it gets able to keep up with the big dogs.
Like dad used to say about the two kinds of bear dog pups-the first time you stick its nose in a fresh bear track, it'll either growl and head out after it wide open, or crap on itself and try to run backwards through its collar.This is how my great uncle did it.
