I believe that the worst thing you can do is bring the dog into the house and play with it. If it is going to be a working dog, you need to have it outside in a kennel.

When the dog plays too much it doesn't understand when you take it out to hunt that it is there to work and will run around and do as it pleases - usually ruining the hunting for everyone else there.

Train the dog to work and only praise it when it does good things and in time it won't do the bad things.

We have had dogs that chased deer, ran off and would not return, ones that you couldn't catch, ones that refused to listen, ones that ate what you shot. It all depends on who raises them and who trains them and how old they are when you get them.
Some dogs are just bad dogs and about the only thing you can do is give them away to someone else or give them a .22 pill and remove them from the gene pool.

Some dogs you should never breed and some dogs you should never buy from a breeder.
