As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home kzread.infoUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life's work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.

It is so cute when that puppy hits the rabbit scent and starts that little beagle bark!

How can people give this great video a thumbs down. You gave a very good defined explanation of the art of training dogs to do what they have an instinct for. Dogs were not bred to lye around in a house or chained to a tree . Dogs were bred to do work and in this case to trail rabbits for gathering food. By the way I too trained Beagles exactly like you shown. Thank you.

I like the way that you started him on rabbits

Seems a well bred pup. How's Barry getting on now he's in his prime

Mines two, never been on a real hunt but has been trained. I continuously train him so when/if I need him he can do it. Thanks for the tips.

Thanks for the advice always enjoy watching your videos

That is pretty much how I start my pups also. One trick I have found that works well though, is to blow a whistle when I am training the pup with a hide (which I have saved in the freezer). First I let the pup worry the hide, then I tie the pup up and hide the pelt so it is easy to find. Then, just before I let the pup go, I blow the whistle and tell it to "hunt it up". As the pup progresses and you are able to start bring them out hunting blow the whistle and tell him to "hunt em up". When the pup comes to a check during the day, and you actually see which way the rabbit went (in my case, hares) blow the whistle and get him going in the right direction again. At the end of the day when you want to go home but the pup doesn't, get yourself into a position that the dog can hear the whistle. When it comes to a check, blow the whistle and call the dog. He thinks you have the rabbit and will come to you and you can leash him and go home. The important point is to not always pick up the dog when you blow the whistle but let him continue to hunt throughout the day....that way he will never know it is time to quit! That's a whole lot easier than having to go back at night to pick up your dog! Also, I use the Garmin Astro to keep track of my dog. I don't know how I hunted for so long without one, but of course, I used to be a hell of a lot younger than I am now. Lot of good points in your video! Thanks!

BeagleBoys RabbitHunting I don't know how the whistle would work on an older dog. I get mine used to the whistle when they are about 8 or 9 weeks old. I don't have a problem picking up my dogs but I have been with other guys dogs who just about had to be tackled to get them. That makes for a frustrating hunt when you are ready to go home, but the dog isn't. Of course, back then there was no such thing as a garmin astro. That little invention REALLY makes life easier. You will appreciate that even more in your older years!

I know I've got a solid rabbit hunting dog because when she was a couple months old she found a baby rabbit den, and then another day I found her with a whole rabbit leg in her mouth which she tried to swallow entirely. Winter is tough to train her but she's been able to chase a few squirrels with my older dog. Both terrier mixes. Thanks for the tips!

Would this work with jack russell terriers

I love hunting with dogs, my best experiences are with GSPs. Never been on a rabbit hunt, I have shot a fair number but mostly while chasing after other game. I have hunted raccoons which was also pretty exciting. But it looks like a ton of fun. And rabbit are pretty decent eating,

Nice video & info.. I trained my first jip @ 6 months old solo ran her for almost a year solo it took her 5 days to start packing up. Got another female that I'm going to start the same way....

Very good training i will Stuart for my dog tomorow.

Great dog, so cute. I have a appx 2 year old Beagle male who we got from the Denver shelter where they told us he was a stray. He is energetic and very loved but when we walk he is absolutely tracking, and sounding with his nose down. He moves from side to side and he points. He is so beautiful and we live in an apartment, it is a large place but he has no place to sniff to his heart's content,. We feel like he is not living out his purpose in life and we may keeping him selfishly. He loves us and we adore him. What can you or anyone tell me about this dilemma ?

Beagles are stubborn once they get on a trail and don't always come back, that's why gps collars are a huge asset.

What are the collar you get for your beagle? What does it do? Is it a tracker? Looks like some anthenna. Should we always have it on them when we take them hunting? I’m in the process of training my 6mo beagle to hunt as well.

@lanemoran8399

It is a GPS tracker. Some beagle runners use GPS and corrective collars. The GPS is great when you have a large amount of land to hunt on so you can better plan where your hunting buddies should be placed when the dogs get on a rabbit.

Great vid! I'm having trouble with my beagle catching killing the rabbits, it has no trouble catching the rabbits but it doesn't kill it holds them and almost like its a game. Would it be to young? It's 2 years old Cheers.

Not so much for rabbits. You want something that is going to use its nose more than its eyes when you’re trying to find the rabbits, and then it has to be willing to really give chase once it finds them. The vast majority of people who hunt with pits, go after hogs.

Do you do the same thing with different breeds. I have a 1 1/2 year old black mouth cur and I want to train him to rabbit hunt

Love this video

I rabbit hunted for 20 years and owned many beagles, To be honest their is little to no need to do any of these techniques to train a dog. Take it in the woods at 3 months old, Sit on a log and let him walk around, He will do what he does and train himself, The best trainer is TIME! We have never ever done any of this and we had the best dogs in the province of NL.

Perfect video

Well my dog is a 6 years old beagle dachshund jack Russell mix has never had a day of training just instinct for her I never let her kill it cuz I dont know if it legal without a hunter permit pls tell me I'd love to let her hunt she is a pretty whiny dog and I think it will make her happy

Two questions: 1) What are some measures to take, to assure that he doesn't become "gun shy"? 2) How do you prevent them from chasing deer? I've seen these problems in the past.

I took both my dogs out to the gun range. Shot my shotgun around them. Lay the gun down and let them sniff it. They got used to sound and smell. Deer will always bust out of cover when dogs go through. It's all about keeping them focused on Rabbits! Training Training running the dogs on Rabbits nothing else. My dogs wanted nothing but to hunt rabbits training them only to want to hunt and chase Rabbits.

I use a .177 air rifle for rabbit hunting. I got a rabbit today in about 20 minutes it took me to find him. I’m saving up for a .22 for small game hunting. I use a 30-06 for big game. I’m 15. I’ve never used a rabbit dog but I’m considering using one. Do you think my Great Pyrenees will be a good rabbit dog?

Stop getting mad some people like to hunt for animals and plus some people eat it and rabbits in the wild can kill other rabbits so it doesn't even matter if the dogs kill them because rabbits can breed a lot so they are basically controlling the amount of rabbits

After a large mass shooting, the Australian government bought back firearms, made certain firearms illegal, and imposed gun restrictions. People have to have a need for guns (ie. hunting) and a license. So guns are not illegal, you can still hunt, and there has been a marked improvement in the rates of gun violence, suicides, etc.. Yet here we still sit, with a new mass shooting every week.

So we had Beagle Poocher....olde timer with his nose to0 the ground!! Then we had Shoorty, Beagle-Ttreeing Walker Cross who would take off line of sight!! They would bring the rabbit around in circle as is their behavior!! My .22 LR would have them dead to rights!! When I get beyond. need to meet once again with those dogs in the hunting g room!!

Ya, no problem. If this is one of the first times you put your dog on rabbits, don't worry about your dog losing the trail. What I would do is get your dog interested in the rabbit smell by playing with a piece of rabbit skin or a rabbits foot. Then after a few weeks of that, place your dog on a fresh rabbit's track and just see if your dog gets excited when they smell it. Then keep doing this and eventually they will follow the track. Just keep practicing.
