Everybody has there own opinion on training dogs why because not everybody hunts there dogs the same. In my opinion you need to socialize your dog with kids, lots of different people, and other dogs. If not he will Prolly be very protective and aggressive with other dogs. That's the last thing I want when running my cur dogs is fighting. They will sick on command if needed. I would really work on obedience and put him on as much fur as possible if he has the drive it will all fall into place.
