Training hunting dogs
Training hunting dogs may be a very simple process in some cases and a long and complicated process in other cases. However, most dog owners who wish to hunt with their dog, either for leisure or competitively, will find training a hunting dog to be somewhere in between the extremes. Training a dog to hunt and terrify the animal (which generally occurs when a pack of dogs is used (such as in fox hunting) is OUT as far as I’m concerned. Fox hunting anyway comes into the category of hunting solely for the sport of it, since so far as I am aware, the fox is never eaten after the kill.
