John I'm no expert but I'm going to take a stab at it anyway. Feist just like hounds or curs are the same in some ways but different in others. By saying that I mean some feist will start much earlier than others while some the switch doesn't flip until they are around two years old. Some of the lines start very early some at 6 months some much later. I was once a ski g some people about training a feist, an old timer who was a coon hunter said he figured it was all about the same, reaching the goal of a treedog. He said squirrel hunting was like coon hunting except in the daytime with more game. He said he trained em the same. Caged game, roll cages etc, just don't over do it. Start working with the pup now on bonding and commands. Take it on short walks where there are squirrels. Make outings fun for you and the pup. Be patient and remember it is a pup. Hope this helps. Good luck with your pup.
