The part most often passed by when this subject is discussed is woods time. All the other stuff is useless if the pup doesn't get alot of time in the woods. And all of the other stuff can be neglected without any detrimental effect if the pup gets enough woods time.
90% time spent in the timber, 10% eveything else.

Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, Kit Carson, they weren't great hunters because anyone taught them to be great hunters, they were great hunters because they lived in the woods.

If you have the room let the pup run free. If you do not have the room take the pup some where safe and let the pup run around for a few hours every day. The pup can not learn any thing sitting in the pen. When I have a litter of pups I let them run free on my farm. When they get to the point were they are terrorizing everything and roaming off. It is time to pen them up and start hunting them. I hope this helps you has done wonders for me.
