Breaking Coyote Hounds From Deer

[CoyoteChaser]

I know this is a topic that’s talked about a lot but I got some young dogs and was wondering what you all do to break them from running deer. I know people use training collars but not sure what age to start using them on them. 1 year old runs a l out of deer and 3 year old hits once in awhile one one. Thanks In advance.

To correct your hound from running off game, stimulate them with enough continuous current to immediately get their attention. Hold the continuous stimulation- button for 3 seconds to initially send a message. If your dog persists then press and hold the button again for 6 seconds. If your hound continues to persist then up the settings 3 levels and then press and hold the continuous stimulation button again for 3 seconds. Wait a few seconds after each stimulation to see if your dog stops or turns around. If they do not stop and/or turn around within a few seconds, it is important that you stimulate again. If maximum stimulation is reached, do not repeat stimulating at those settings more than 3 times MAX. If that doesn’t work, you might as well stop stimulating your dog for it will do more harm than good. Just the way I do it, lots of different methods people use to trash break hounds.

I don’t have a trashing problem very often because we hunt hogs and there is a very high concentration of them here. But when I did have a dog that decided to run deer, I got a freshly ran over deer and took it home. I put a dog collar on the deer and then put the shock collar on the dog. I then ran a lariat rope from the dogs collar over through the collar on the deer and then stood waay back. I let the dog get up to the deer and nose it and then I mashed the continuous button on high while keeping him pulled up against the deer. I held it about 3 seconds and let him retreat as far as possible. About 10 seconds later I pulled him back up to the deer and repeated it. I did that three times and put him up. I never said a word to him and I never had him run another deer. My thought process is he got to see and smell what was biting him and I didn’t have to wonder if I was shocking him for the right thing or if the collar was working right etc. We were both 100% sure of what was happening.
