That's it David Peightal...I have had it with you.....Get me your mailing address and I'm going to ship you a hound!

Mike thank you. I know you would too. Maybe some day. I hope so. Problem is, if I get a dog, I can no longer be a productive member of society. Got some folks depending on me. When I get them taken care of, I'll be back.

What David isn't telling us is that he's got this game finally mastered. Him and I have talked about it before. The only thing better than owning a boat, is having a friend with a boat. Same goes for hounds.

Dangit jcathunter, I guess I am going to have to be more careful what I tell you. Now everyone is going to get rid of their hounds like me and show up at Mikes place ready to go.

I promise to bring five bucks for gas though Mike. That should more than cover expenses.

Hope you are attending the bobcat gathering, it would be good to see you....I suspect you will have no problem locating a good hound and getting started back up....

Awfully quiet in here. Nuthin' but the crickets all of a sudden.

I figure I probably messed up the flow with some posts that were off-topic. Sorry about that.

Here is the original question and the answer to get it back on course.

Dewey or anyone else that does this, how to you train your puppies to sit at 2 weeks old?

Next comes the training if you have a smart and willing partner and understand basic training it is easy and enjoyable. I start teaching my pups at two weeks old to set when I go up to them. Heres a tip guys you are teaching a dog something with every interaction that you have with them. The problem is that a lot of what we do is teaching the dog things that will cause problems in the future, such as allowing them to put there feet on you, to ignore a command as simple as asking them to come when you do not have the ability to enforce the command. All it takes is time that we spend with the dog every day. Dewey

You guys sure have had some fun while I have been gone. At least David is thinking things out. This is not the first time that I have said that I start training the pups at two weeks old. I start teaching them to eat out of a dish as soon as there eyes open to save on the mother having to feed them all by her self. At that time they will stand and try to come to me for food two weeks or shortly after. When they come toward me I just put hand under chin lift up and push down on butt and give a verbal sit. You will be surprised at how quick a bunch of puppies coming up to you will sit waiting for food. You will also start seeing the difference in personalities. You can get just as much ouy of a dog as you are willing to put in. As far as a perfect bobcat dog that is what I TRY TO BREED. IT CAN'T BE DONE hopefully just better each generation. Sometimes it works sometimes it does not. Just because A dog is a great dog in someone eyes does not mean it will be in another eyes. I breed dogs that I like and that catch bobcats for me that does mean they will work for everybody, can you believe it some people even hunt blueticks on bobcats and even catch a few. Have a good week guys. Dewey
