Pig Hunting Dogs - Best Ways Of Training Them

While wild pigs and wild boars are different, there are similar tactics used in the hunting of them. There is a certain excitement involved in the pig hunt, and the hunter often feels that he's doing a great service to people in the area as the feral pigs and boars are highly adaptable and have overrun much of the landscape. In the 1920's the European wild boar was introduced by a Monterey, California landowner. When it bred with domestic pigs a hog hybrid was developed that is now today's wild boar. Due to excessive breeding the population of this wild pig has increased exponentially and many states offer open season year round in the hopes of controlling it. These pigs can not only be aggressive, but they damage much of the vegetation and landscape of the area ruining habitat for other, more fragile species. In 1957 the Fish and Game Commision established official seasons on them and it wasn't until 1992 that a tag was required to hunt them. There are also special rules and regulations regarding the use of hunting dogs in the capture of these pigs.

In California wild pigs are present in 56 of the 58 counties, with a majority of them living on private land. The pig's behavior has altered greatly to adapt to the hunting techniques often employed to catch them. While they once moved around during the day, they have morphed into a more nocturnal creature, foraging for food at night. The most popular way to hunt these pigs is with hunting dogs, and any number of breeds are used. At one of the only pig hunting dog training schools in the world, Joshua Kauta's school looks for characteristics such as courage, stamina, intelligence, and tenacity in the training of a good pig dog. One of the most popular breeds used for hunting pig is the bull terrier, along with other breeds such as sheep and cattle dogs crossed with breeds such as the Labrador for it's sense of smell.

Pig dog training is often in rugged and hilly landscapes and a dog needs a lot of room and open area with well-trained pigs to get proper training. It's essential for a pig dog to begin it's training at a young age. There are two types of dogs used when it comes to hunting pigs; those that are used for bailing, which track a pig and keep it at bay by barking at it until the hunter can arrive, and there are the holder dogs, which grab onto a pig's ears and keep it steady. Whichever type of hunting the sportsmen prefers, wild pig hunting is both exciting and provides a service to many of the local landowners.

Hunting Dog Training

Do you know of any resources for gun dog training?

We are bringing home two retriever puppies at the start of the year and we would like to train them as gun/ hunting dogs. Though we have hunted for years and have had retrievers in the past, we have never trained them to actually retrieve birds or rabbits in the field.

I am wondering what books or videos you used to get more information on training them to retrieve? I have looked at Cabela's and even searched on Amazon but I am not sure what exactly to look for,

Thanks!


most of the work is already done if you are getting a retrieving breed. they will chase, pick up and bring back instinctively. all you need to do is develop a language between you and the dog. "dead bird" is a favorite for finding downed birds. so when you shoot a bird you keep saying "dead bird" and walking around the area where it fell. when they find it you say "good dog! dead bird!" the next time you shoot something and say "dead bird" the dog will know whats going on. depending on the dog, it may take once or it may take a dozen times, but they will figure it out. thats the basic principle to retrievers. they just need a command to know when and where to look.


you can also use an attention command or a whistle and hand commands. "hip" is my attention command. i say "hip" and the dog stops and looks at me, then i use my arm to gesture in a direction. dogs can figure this out it the back yard if you play with them enough.


retrievers are pretty easy to train, especially if you only use them in the field and not on the water. all they really need is experience and clear communication with their owners. the rest is automatic to them. no need to train for seeking and finding. you just need to tell them when.
