In this episode of Thoughts of a Dog Man, I answer real questions sent in from real hunters running beagles!

From young dogs that just want to play, to solo runners that won’t pack, I break down what’s really going on and options on how to correct the issues in my opinion! This one’s all about practical, no-fluff advice for everyday handlers trying to build better rabbit dogs.

Here’s what we cover:

🐾 How to get your dog to come when you spot a hot rabbit

🐾 Fixing two young dogs that just want to play instead of hunt

🐾 What to do with a dog that runs solo but won’t pack up

🐾 Why some dogs keep coming out of the race — and how to stop it

🐾 How many dogs you should run a young one with when they’re starting out

🐾 The best way to start using a tracking collar with a young dog

If you’ve ever asked yourself these same questions, this episode’s for you. Stevie keeps it real, sharing what’s worked in his own kennels, what mistakes to avoid, and how to help your dogs build confidence, consistency, and that pack instinct every good rabbit dog needs.

🎧 Listen now and learn how to turn frustration into progress — one hunt at a time.
