lol. sounds like yall have some durn good dogs. all mine seems to want to do is bark and run in meaningless circles. ??? anyway, i will deffinently look into the obedience training. i want a beagle, used to keep em when i was a kid and they are the best rabit dogs (arguably of cource as it seems you guys could have a weesel trailing rabits for you, sheesh) that i ever saw. anyway, i heard an old wisetail that if a dog's mouth's roof is black it means they are better hunters. any truth there that yall know of?

  I never had a blackmouth dog. Recurve, I really think the key to having a good hunting dog is bonding with your dog. My best dogs, were always wanting to go with me, anywhere. If they couldn't, I didn't yell at them, "no", but said it with authority but not verbally assaulting them. Does that make sense? Not really sure how to explain it.

  The smartest hunting dogs I've ever had were Lab's and Australian Shepards. But the reason they were good was they were happy and wanted to hunt and please. After training the last dogs I've had, just  basics manners and  commands,I've just treated them like my hunting buddies. Like I did my ol' Mut when I hunted with him when I was 13.

recurve shooter:
yeah mullet, i deffinently see what your saying. i treat mine good, as the whole reason i have her is that my friend had to git rid of her and i didnt want her going to a pound. she loves to ride in the truck, and shows the incentive to hunt, like running around in the woods and sniffing stuff, but i dont think she knows what she is looking for. anyway, im going to the camp today and hopefully i can get some squirls to show her that furry critters are for eatin! i think we can all agree on that. ;)

mullet:
 Have fun and good luck.

the best thing i can think of is get a furry wool sock and stuff it with fur of the animal and start palying fetch with it and if he dosen't know how to fetch teach him with a tenis ball. the next thing to do it to walk out there and set it down and walk back and tell him/her to fetch it up. and just keep working on stay and fetch.
once you got that down start to add the bow and arrow into it. so he/she gets the idea that after the bow shoots the arrow that fun will happen. and then it is just about time to take your dog hunting. the only thing else i can say is ALLWAYS PRAISE YOUR DOG FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING!! and something to you HAVE FUN ;D :D
