A dog will tree the squirrels. With a dog on one side of the tree barking and a a hunter can get on the side of the tree the squirrel is on for a shot. Some folks do want to sit and wait. The dog will hunt for squirrels, then bark when it finds one and trees it, the hunter can then go to the tree. When I was a lot younger and really hunted squirrels, I always hunted with another hunter for the same reason, one on each side of the tree. We did not bark treed though.
