what age is best to start training my dog for squirrle hunting?
its now 7 weeks old and already sniffing around on trails but nothing in specific. is this a sign its ready start or not. if you have any sites that will teach how to train them to hunt squirrel or rabbit plzzz post same with any tips. i also need help on gun breaking it too. and would it be better just to start earlie or will it hurt it.
Right now !! Hide something in small boxes with a cut at top. I also use plastic empty butter containers tip over and cut a hole in the bottom. Place a treat underneath using about 4 to 5 and with leash on your puppy direct him and say " find it " he may need some help the first couple rounds but let him see the treat for reward.
Just do a couple three times a day so he don’t get bored too quick.
And you can try starting out with banging a couple pans together lightly. Then increase from there.
There are fear imprint stages at 9 weeks and again at 9 months so take care and watch how sound sensitive he might be. Build up the confidence now.

The training must start when he is still a pup. Take him for long walks, let him crawl and similar things. Since you mentioned he is already 7 weeks, you must teach him to how to lead and then continue with the basic training. Have patience.

You just asked this & were told…no such breed & it’s TOO YOUNG=BYBd junk *&* that you >CAN’T< cross species !!!!!!!
A squirrel dog TREES.
A rabbit dog locates & bumps & RUNS.
ADULTS that want to hunt BUY a hunting breed. A 7wk old BYBd mutt CAN’T be trained to more than housebreak…eventually.

Right now just let him sniff trails, if he sees a vermin let him bark at it. One thing I did to help my Jack Russell was I bought a Fox pelt then I tied it to a string and I would drag it around and let him chase after it and bite it and other times I would hide it and tell him to track it.
It was cool to watch. good luck with your puppy
