sounds like a better start than most hounds get already keep up the work on handling and just take them walking along the creek bottoms as much as you can early mornings

He's just a baby still. Just let him figure it out. If he goes back and re starts it shows he's got some brains.Slatecrick kid wrote:Hey thanks for the advice guys I have been playing hide and seek with him and he does great until the first turn he runs as hard and fast as he can then when figures out he over ran the track he goes back to we're he found the sent and starts all over so how do I slow him down?

Bring him where the cats are, set him up, walk him in and get him going. He might suprise you. Like Dirty dan said, he's still young but keep trying him, maturity does alot for dogs.

Re: New to hounds I need help please look
There is a lot of bobcats right NE of you in the flint hills, if you gain permission after the rifle deer season. I worked up there in 2010 and it's great running country. Getting him broke from deer would be your biggest worry, but maybe he already is. There are tons of deer up there too. Enjoy your pup.
