I brought my 5 1/2 months old pup with me tonight. My old dog and another year old dog i have took off down the holler. My 5 1/2 month old fell to the left and sit down and started treeing. Sure enough she tree a possum in a tree about 8 foot tall, she could see it. Just wondering what others would do and this situation, decipline her or pet her up. Thanks

I would do neither of the two options you suggested. I would simply walk in, leash her up, and move on in the direction of the other dogs. She (in my opinion) is too young to start disciplining for off game. Be thankful she has enough tree dog in her to drop off by herself and start treeing.

The first one they get a pass on....

The second one gets a lil keen switching and scolding, if they continue each time the punishment goes up a level.

What if the same dog hits the trifecta with 3 in a row? What's the punishment for that? LMAO !!!!!!

What is the punishment for the handler who keeps treeing them?

This really depends on the pup im hunting ive been hunting a line of dogs for awhile that can get extremely bad on opposums so i break them the first time they do it being its 2 months old or a year old dont matter to me!! Now for the most part ive seen that a 5 month old pup treeing a opposum isnt a big deal and i wouldnt do much of nothin maybe jerk him off and lead him away!! But the line ive been hunting that isnt enough

I would love too see my 5 1/2 month pup tree a possum! You want a gamey pup, you can break them later! More coons thay tree, the less possums you'll see.

My husband sent 3 possums and 34 coon to North.American Fur Assoc last yr. The possums sold; they still have most the coon...maybe a possum dog isn't such a bad thing.

If it's a Black and Tan, don't worry, it probably won't happen again until you are in the finals of a world hunt.

If I had a 5 1/2 month old pup tree a possum I would try to get it off tree and lead it away without any punishment or praise. Truthfully though, I would have a hard time not pettin it up just a little bit and feelin like I had somethin to smile about! LOL. I don't wanna see possums no more than anybody else but if a pup that young trees it, that's ok with me.
