Thumbs up Mt cur pup

I have a 2yr old female that I've had since she was 6 wks old. She really didn't show much interest in squirrels until she was about 5 months old. We have squirrels all around the house. I would shoot a squirrel with a 22 while my wife held her. Then I would tie arope around it & drag it all around the yard. Threw thye rope over a limb close to the trunk of a tree & pull up & let down. After about 3 or 4 times I could see the light come on! At 5 1/2 months she started treeing on her own & hasn't stopped! Let me tell tou she is a squirrel treeing machine! Just take it slow & don't get discouraged. Be patient,sometimes it takes a little while for them to catch on. If I can be of any help don't hesitate to ask, maybe I can. ps I/m in northwest lousiana, wher you at?
