Hunter's hunting skills are obtained by innate inheritance, and part of them are trained rigorously since childhood. A qualified hunting dog often comes from the result of hard coaching by hunters. Without strict continuous and timely training, no matter how good the innate breed of a dog is, it cannot become a good hunting dog. Therefore, hound training is very important.
Bravehounds need special personnel to train the hounds. They must start from the young age of the dog and are responsible for the special personnel. They cannot change the dog owner halfway. If you change the dog coach halfway through, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory success. You should not keep it for two days and play with him. This will inevitably disperse the energy of the puppies and seriously affect the improvement of their hunting skills. If you treat your puppies as a plaything, you can only be a dog for playfulness when you grow up.
Projects and time for training Bradhounds
An excellent hunting dog must have three hunting skills: search, hunting, and picking up. Therefore, tracking and searching, hunting and picking up prey are the focus of training. The purpose of training is to form a solid hunting conditioning reflex in the mind of a puppy and learn these three hunting skills in order to complete the hunting tasks assigned by the hunter in the future. The six, seven and eight months after the puppy is born are the period when its advanced nerves develop the fastest, and it is also the golden period for coaching the puppy's hunting movements. At this time, the puppies must be trained strictly and systematically to make them have good hunting conditioning. A year later, the development of the hound has been completed, and the quality of the hound has been established, so it is difficult to train again.
Site selection for training bradhounds. Primary training for puppies can be carried out in hunters' living areas, such as wide courtyards, rural threshing farms, free areas outside the village, etc. But the hunting action training of puppies must be carried out in real mountain forest hunting grounds. Through hunting ground training, the hunting skills of hunting dogs are fully developed, and the instructor of puppies learn to track, search, hunt, attack and pick up prey, and overcome activities that do not meet the hunting requirements. The more times a puppy participates in actual hunting training, the better its hunting skills. Therefore, hunters should often lead the puppy to hunt in training.
Basic methods for training a hunting dog
The basic methods for training a hunting dog are encouragement and coercion. Encourage the development of its hunting actions and force correction of activities that do not meet the hunting requirements. To this end, encouragement and coercion should be combined as the basic method of training hounds. Encouraging means include seduction. When the puppy completes a move, the hunter should promptly encourage meat; the puppy is timid and dare not go into the water to carry food, the hunter should drag the puppy into the water. When hunters train puppies with encouragement or compulsion, they must be gentle and cannot kick and beat them at will. When the activities of the puppy do not meet the hunting requirements, the hunter must stubbornly correct its wrong movements and patiently teach it the planned hunting movements. It must not be accommodated or indulged, otherwise it will leave bad problems on the hunting dog and affect future hunting.
Note: You cannot exceed the scope and require the hound to have a certain degree of primary accumulation of experience and ability to control your own behavior. If these behaviors of the hound are compared with human thoughts and behaviors, it is wrong. Therefore, you cannot make unrealistic and excessive demands on the hound.
