what age do you start?
I was wondering about what age do you start a pup. as in when do you start practicing hauling the dog, handling, and then hunting. I have a 7 week old pup didn't know if I should start doing anything now or not. thanks

Start introducing him to simple things such as leading in 2 or 3 months. Show him a coon at 6 or 7 months, if you think he is ready. Do not take him to woods until he is at least 10 months old (except for daytime walks) and do not expect anything out of him for at least a couple months after that. He will still be a baby. Don't try rush anything.

the only thing is I can haul her in the box right now cause she sticks her head out and gets in stuck lol. you think messing around with a coon tail will help and at this age?
i wait till around 10 -12 weeks and runs some drgs then around 4 1/2 month i show a cage coon and turn it loose and let the pups run and tree it if they dont back to drags
