Big Game Houndsmen - Training Tips for Cat Hunters

CAT DOG SCENT TRAINING METHOD
By: Mike Leonard



Remember start easy and with progress make it harder. Make sure to work the dogs alone and with another dog if you plan on hunting them together. Really praise them at the tree and make it fun for them. Don’t over do and get them bored with the game. It can be easy to get so excited after seeing them really come alive on this you want to go every day but about once or twice a week is plenty.


Now you are in a position to make a successful hunt with your dog. Find as fresh a cat track as you can and help the dog as much as possible. You will meet with frustration and disappointment many times. Heck if it was easy everybody would do it. LOL! Just stay with it and after that first cat is in the tree, all that training and work will be forgotten and you will be on your way to future success with your cat dogs.

Good luck, have fun, and take a youngster hunting they are the future of our sport.


My best regards,
