|
|
| I've been hunting rabbit for around 15 years, after starting with my grandfather. I've always wanted to hunt with a good Beagle, but my grandpa never put the time into training a dog. Do you guys have any good tips or necessary instructions for a beagle trainer to be? |

| Find someone with good dogs and get your dog in the pack. Get that dog on rabbits, lots of 'em. Don't forget to expose the pup to gun fire, gently. |

| Part of my problem with training them, unfortunately, is that I don't know anybody close who runs dogs. I would have to drive to Indiana to train them with my uncles dogs. |

What do you have? Beagles? Dogs or pups?
Do you know an area where there are lots of rabbits? |

Have you gotten them use to gunfire?
What about rabbit population in your area?
Are there any beagle clubs near by?
I sent a P.M. |

| They are used to gunfire, and there are plenty of the rabbits around here. I'm not sure about any beagle clubs...I'll look into that. |
