How to train a small dog to catch rabbits? First, buy a large rabbit, find an open space, tie the rabbit's legs with a string, and then pull it quickly in front of the small dog to tease it. After the small dog bites it, praise it. It is best to have 2-3 puppies of similar age participate in the training together and let several puppies compete with each other. After repeated training in this way, when the dog is 5-6 months old, it can follow other dogs to hunt rabbits.

When the puppy is 3-4 months old, it can start to practice rabbit hunting. The main purpose is to let the puppy know the prey and cultivate its interest in hunting. Buy a large rabbit, preferably a hare-like color. Because hares are wild and strong, if they bite or kick the puppy violently, the puppy will suffer a loss and will be scared to see the hare again.

Find an open space, preferably grass, tie the rabbit's legs with a string, pull it quickly in front of the puppy, tease the puppy to bite, and let the puppy bite the rabbit while running. After biting, take it off and repeat. Every time you bite a rabbit, touch its head, call its name and give it a few words of encouragement. When playing this game, it is best to play with 2-3 puppies of similar age and let several puppies compete with each other. Play this once every few days. After a few times, whenever you see a rabbit or puppy, they will chase and bite them desperately. This first step is considered a success. When it is 5-6 months old, it can start hunting rabbits with other dogs.

After a while, the puppy knew that after discovering the hare, the big dog would attack and chase the hare. The big dog would bite the hare and come forward to fight for the hare. After each attack, it would come back immediately after hearing the owner's command. Getting on the bus means the training was successful. The period of 6, 7, and 8 months is the fastest period for its advanced neurological development, and it is also the golden period for training puppies to hunt. At this time, the puppies must undergo strict and systematic training so that they can have good hunting conditioned reflexes. After one year, the development of the hound has been completed, the quality of the hound has been determined, and retraining is very difficult.

During this period, when hunting hares, bring both big and small dogs. I think the number is 2-4 big dogs, accompanied by 1-2 small dogs. If there are too many big dogs, the small dogs will have no chance; if There were too many puppies, the hunting was too chaotic, and the rabbits that should be caught were not caught. By the time the puppy is about 8 months old, it can already run very fast, but its mouth is not very good yet. When encountering an opportunity where the terrain is good, open and has no obstacles, and the hare is small and easy to catch, the larger dog with more experience will catch it. Don't let them live, put the older dogs and puppies who are slightly worse, so that the puppies can develop their best abilities. This scene is also very beautiful. The rabbit rushes from left to right, and the puppies chase it clumsily. If they find that the rabbit is about to be lost, they zoom in on the dog. The big dog can easily catch the weak rabbit like an arrow from the string. . After such training, some puppies can catch rabbits after 8 months. When they first learn to catch rabbits, they should be rewarded every time they catch a rabbit. The more you practice, the better you become. Practice makes perfect.
