John Wick trashbreaking

[jones32]

Hey guys I have been reading walk with wick book, Ill be raising my first pup here soon. Just wondering if anybody has tried the deer gland wraped in wire hooked to a fence charger when there 8-12 weeks old? Any thoughts about it?

Maybe I'm slow to start but that seems a little young to shock a dog. I wouldn't put a trainning collar on one that young so I wouldn't do that. At that age I want them to want to trail anything not be scared of their shadow.

Using the fencing in a pen with a gland works. I just wait until they start running it, easy enough to break later with collars if you stay on top of them.

You bet it works -- they never learn the JOY of running junk.. they do not associate it with anything other than scent at that age.But you might want to use it in a couple of different places.. they do learn places too....

usually they will only get a couple of "touches" then you might need to get creative to really impress it in their little noggins.

I use it and works the best. Hardly ever have to break dogs. They get this as soon as they are old enough to be hooked up to the chain.

I've been using deer scent glands for breaking for about twenty years. Been fortunate enough to have a run-around pen for my dogs which I turn them into while cleaning the kennel or to exercise. My run-around has hot wire top and bottom so it is easy to move the glands about. I actually wire the glands to the center of a little forked horn rack, run the wire through a piece of 3/4 pvc which extends the rack from the fence to where I want it.

I move it around the property extending it through bushes ect. Obviously, I expose pups to wanted game as much as possible too.

Here in South Texas I have added "hog ears" to my yard fence.
