When the puppy is 3-4 months old, you can practice rabbit hunting. The main purpose is to let the puppy know the prey and cultivate the interest in hunting. Buy a half-sized rabbit, preferably a hare-like color. Because the hare is wild and powerful, if it bites or kicks the puppy with its feet, the puppy will be afraid of the hare when he sees it again. Find an open space, preferably grass, tie the legs of the rabbit with a string, pull it quickly in front of the puppy, and entice the puppy to bite, let the puppy bite the rabbit while running, and take it after biting. Come down and repeat. Every time you bite a rabbit, pat it's head and give it a word of encouragement by calling it its name. When playing this game, it is best to have 2-3 puppies of the same age play together and let several puppies compete with each other. Play like this every few days. After a few times, as long as you see a rabbit or a puppy, you will chase after him desperately. This first step is considered a success.

At 5-6 months old, you can go out with other dogs to hunt rabbits. The main purpose is to let the puppies learn to get on and off the bus, understand what everyone is doing when they go out, see how the big dog catches the hare, and let the puppies practice if there is an injured hare. After a period of time, the puppy knew that after finding the hare, the big dog attacked and chased the hare, and the big dog also stepped forward to fight for the hare after biting the hare. Indicates that the training was successful.

The 6th, 7th, and 8th months are the fastest period for its advanced neurodevelopment and the golden period for coaching puppy hunting movements. At this time, the puppies must be trained strictly and systematically in order to make them have good hunting conditioning. A year later, the development of the hound has been completed, the quality of the hound has been finalized, and retraining is very difficult. During this period, when hunting hares, I will bring both big and small dogs. I think there are 2-4 big dogs with 1-2 small dogs. If there are too many big dogs, the small dogs have no chance at all; Too many, the hunting is too messy, and the rabbits that should be caught can't be caught.
