My 14 year old just bought a fiest puppy. I was wondering do you know of someone close to South GA that could train the pup to hunt squirrels.
There was a Williams man in Georgia than runs a training place. I can’t think of his full name, but if you know anyone who takes the “ Full Cry” hunting magazine....he keeps an advertisement in the add section with his contact info. I don’t know him personally, but I spoke to him on the phone several years ago and he sure seemed like a straight up guy.My 14 year old just bought a fiest puppy.

I don't know. I trained my own. Just take him walking in the woods. If he is a good squirrel dog, he hunts. If not shoot one out to him. If that don't work, I move on to the next dog because that one will never be great.My 14 year old just bought a fiest puppy.

I agree with Ray357. Keep him in the woods often, kill a few and throw them in front of him to smell and chew on a bit, and if he has the genes, he will take it from there.
There is a book called Squirrel Dog Basics that might help.It's about 30 bucks on Amazon.
He sure knows squirrel dogs!A close friend of mine wrote that book, David Osborn. He used to have some great dogs, I hunted behind them back in the day.
