Summary
Every finished hound starts as an 8-week-old puppy. This episode we're breaking down the entire journey—from bringing that pup home for the first time to turning it into a game-running hound. We'll cover: ✅ Picking the right pup from the litter ✅ Building confidence and drive ✅ Socialization and early training ✅ Introducing scent and game ✅ Starting pups with older dogs ✅ Common mistakes that ruin young hounds ✅ When to hunt them alone ✅ Genetics vs. training ✅ What separates a good dog from a great one We'll also be talking about the mischievous side of raising pups—the chewing, wandering off, ignoring commands, and all the headaches that come with turning a young hound into a reliable hunting partner. Whether you've started dozens of pups or you're raising your first one, this show is for you. #FreeCastin #HoundDogs #PuppyTraining #RunningGame #HoundHunting #DogTraining #HuntingDogs #Coonhound #BearDogs #LionDogs #Houndsman #WorkingDogs #PuppyToFinishedDog #LivePodcast #ArizonaWorkingDogAlliance #HuntingPodcast
