The extent of my 'trash breaking' so far has been with deer & livestock. The rest is fair game, as far as I'm concerned. And after a spell, the pup has pretty much figgerd out what we'z be huntin' purdy quik...
Case in point, these pics are from the same day back in late February.
Morning, treeing like a champ...
Afternoon, bringing a nice coyote back to me...
Take your dog calling as much as you can! If the pup has 1/2 a brain, it'll start to realize that when daddy sits down & makes funny noises, then coyotes come to play. If the pup has already seen 10-15 coyote kilt, then I'd keep doing exactly what you are doing (CALLING coyotes
)
Showing the pup a coon might get him riled up, but that isn't going to help it decoy a coyote any better.
If ya show him this...
and this...
your cur will likely get good at this...
and this
and this...
So if that's what you want, then show him a couple coon
but if you want this:
then keep doing this...
Don't make this chit any harder than it has to be. There is no rigid boot camp guidelines to making a dog other than showing it the right game. So just keep taking your pup out & hopefully, it'll figure stuff out to your satisfaction...
Good luck & enjoy your pup!!!
