RE: SQUIRREL HUNTING WITH DOGS
Unfortunately, most really good squirrel dogs tree naturally. Sounds like your's doesn't. Teach him to tree by taking your freshly killed squirrels and having him track them down. Make it easy at first and slowly progress. When he sees the squirrel (make it some place real easy at first), talk to him excitedly and try to get him to bark. As soon as he does, give him the squirrel for a couple of seconds, then take it away and lavish praise on him. With LOTS of work, he may become a decent squirrel dog.
