Training Dogs and Mules {Dairy of a Houndsman 10-6-7-20}

[@juliojames5986]

Trot lines and neck snares, I tear them up and down, take them with. Horses, all different. A few will get hung up, then tear an skin them selves up, if no training for it, a few will remain calm, and wait for help, love that kind…same with dogs….dunno about hounds, only had one. Brett you are living the dream on those mules, out in the wilds…..inspiring me, when spring comes around…Ha..I live at 7000 ft. Thanks Brett 👍🏻🤠

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thank you .. I'm trying

By the end, they all had it figured! Next time I bet none of em fight it. They might not want to come over to the tie-out(😂), but they won't fight it anymore. Nicely done. That's a nice tie-out cable for a group of dogs. Good equipment makes all the difference, IMHO. Thanks for sharing this man. I enjoyed heck out of it. I bet if they all got a rare treat while tied up, they'd associate it with a good experience. I freeze and save meat bones for special occasions.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thanks JC ... I didn't film it but I did feed them on it later on ... Yeah they get their feelings hurt for a while but get over it ..

[@siragusabarry]

Great video. I really enjoyed the rundown of the dogs and their relation to eachother. The long line this is just like tethering a horse. It keeps them, and you, out of trouble. As you said, us sled dogs guys have done it forever.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

I will do the ladies soon and I need to do a little history of where they all came from ...Glad you liked it Bear .. I do like to watch you sled dog guys .. Thank you!

[@joelmcmahan7386]

You work hard for your way of life. It shows in what you do it’s a big pc of your heart. Wish I could share a trail with you one day. Gods speed to you my friend 👍🇺🇸

[@BrettVaughnB100]

That would be nice to do .. Thank you for all the comments Joel .. these are the things that keeps me going

[@JC-uq5gi]

Hawk figured it out pretty quick. Ole Rusty wasn't havin none of it. Lol. I tie break all my dogs too. I'd hope this helps em out one day if they should get caught up. Heaven forbid. Good stuff Brett. Nice lookin hound dogs. Ole Rusty was frustrated and a little salty when I think it was Al ran up on him. Not a happy hombre. Lol. It's all good for em. They act a little dramatic, but it's not hurting them. Just like a colt. They learn to give in when tied. Thanks for showing us Brett. Interesting stuff. I like training critters.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

I should of done it a long time ago ... when I was on the ranch we use to tie up the colts to a inner tube that was tied in one of the round pens ..tie em up and walk away ..Dad always said make sure you tie them where if they get loose their head stays right there lol

[@JC-uq5gi]

@@BrettVaughnB100 lol. Yeah, you have to hang tough with em. They get loose by pulling back once, you have a chore on your hands then. I used an inner tube for that too. They don't usually fight it for long when they're colts. Trying to fix bad habit horses...that's another story. I get a stout inner tube, and a 6-8" tree for that duty.

[@royq1434]

Good video man! I like the introduction and back ground breeding of each hound, man I love the blue thicks and red ticks you have but for now all settled with the ugly red and white and walkers dogs I have, lol.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

lol there are lots of good walkers I hear I think that is what Warner Glenn uses ... Thank you !

[@royq1434]

Yes Sr. There is! I know colors don’t catch but I sure love the look of a houndy blue tick, specially if they can cold trail on bare ground.

[@markwebb9911]

Seems like every day is training day. Tie breaking dogs seems to fix all kinds of problems from being gun shy to helping them load in the dog box. I can't explain it but I believe it's so. My dogs got to running trash a few weeks ago so I tuned them up a little and accidentally shocked my best dog for doing right. She's been a little confused ever since, I'm pretty bummed out about it . Hopefully she lines back out. I told her she was a better dog than I was a handler lol.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Haven't really done much with it until I started running into those snares but hounds do need to be trained to tie out.. I just got lazy for a while .. I've had lots of dogs that were better then my handling lol ..

[@finleyriverkennels]

Brett I relate to you so much Ole muleskinners know about cinching them mules up they do bloat yep I have used a t post driver I almost knocked my self out one time I saw stars 😂🤣 I use to watch them sled dogs too so you line breed you hounds like I do ?

[@BrettVaughnB100]

lol yep I can see that happening ...knocking yourself out ... I have been trying to keep the line together with the cold trailing traits I like .. still working on it .. Thanks !

[@stevemccoy8138]

Good idea to have the dogs ground tied broke. Impressive that you can remember all the history on your dogs. I've used a post driver more than I care to remember. HA .

[@BrettVaughnB100]

I know .. good exercise though lol .. I do need to make a video one of these days with all of the history behind them .. Thanks

[@AnecdoteofaHoundsman]

Those one them days you wish you just stayed in and watched some cowboy movies!

[@BrettVaughnB100]

No kidding .. Thanks Chris ... keep making the videos !!

[@Archie144]

Nice to see a little training👍

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thanks Frank ... I have hours and hours of scent training videos that I have never edited or published ... just seems like there isn't enough time .. one of these days

[@HoundingNewMexico]

Ha ha ha huevos rancheros!

[@benjirichards3095]

Great and very informative! Most folks that don’t hunt with dogs don’t understand or know the dangers and situations some of or dogs get into! Thanks Brett please keep the training vids coming

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thank you Benji .. yes I was kinda worried showing the hounds fighting it .. thought I would get some on here that don't understand the benefits.. but so far so good .. I have bunch of training videos filmed but none edited .. I will try to get to it

[@timothydean9407]

Great video Brett! I love em all, but really enjoy the training type videos. I have a knack for working with young dogs, worked with Bear dogs, coon dogs, and now just have rabbit dogs. All the same to me, I just love the dogs! On the east coast here, tie out is the first thing taught. In my mind a must. Your dogs had no problems that I saw...quick learning. Anyway, more of the training...the scent training would be awesome for this east coast woodsman to see. Thanks again Brett!

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Your welcome .. I had been meaning to train them to tie out for long time but just got lazy ... like you I just love the dogs ... if I didn't need to sleep I would be running coons at night lol .. most of the videos coming for the next month or 2 will be these diary videos besides the interviews .. if I get time I will try to start editing the scent training videos .. they are kinda hard to work with .. Thanks Timothy !

[@west-virginia-coon-hunting3829]

Enjoyed your video, thanks for sharing, keep looking up!

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thank you ... going to be working hard today till christmas trying to look up lol

[@codyyoung2728]

That's a great looking pack of hounds. In my part of the country having hounds broke to tie is an absolute must, actually learning to tie out is the very first lesson all my pups have to learn before they are ever introduced to the hunting part of it. You will never regret teaching them to tie but like you said its very possible you might loose a dog one day by not tie breaking them. The more things you teach ur hound the better off you and it are in the long run. Be safe out there and i look forward to the videos to come.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Yes .. use to all my hounds were broke to tie out .. I just kinda got lazy with all the moves that I have made in the last few years .. Thank you Cody !

[@normankeys2154]

Nice job and well done mr.vaughn, I also got 6, 4" pipes with caps on each end and a 6'chain I put on my dogs when I let em run n the field

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Sounds like a nice set up ... thanks Norman ..

[@dbutler5584]

Good job! We do that with our horses and mules, it’s a must do for any animal out in the world. It’s safety first-

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Yes .. I have been kinda lazy about it but finally got around to it .. Thanks David!

[@j.r.1223]

Wow! O.k., maybe I need to be put on that line. But wait.... I think I am on that line. Or a one very similar. For me, a great video. Thanks!

[@BrettVaughnB100]

lol ... probably the only way to control you is with a choke chain ... I know my wife tries it on me but I figure out ways to slip it off ... Thanks!

[@TallPaul1288]

Sheared the end of my finger off with a post driver without handles.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

I bet that hurt ... mine has handles but they are rebar .. really raise the blisters ..

[@emmetthenderson5381]

Hahahahahahaha I always tie my dogs up always have.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

I guess they all need to be taught to tie ... Thanks Emmett

[@AnecdoteofaHoundsman]

I chain break em really young.... 3 m0nths old!

[@BrettVaughnB100]

That’s best I’m sure … I get lazy lol

[@Dark_River_Kennels]

Ya I agree, it don’t look like a good day😂

[@BrettVaughnB100]

lol yeah just seemed like everything was going wrong ... but it all turned out ok .. could of been worse thats for sure .. Thanks Joshua ..!

[@JC-uq5gi]

Ohhhh yes. Hahaha. I was an old hand with a fence post pounder by the age of 16. Lol. The ordinance of no tying up your dogs...I'm sure it's got good intentions, but it's also a sign of how stupid we're getting as a species. Lol.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Yeah I think because there are people here that just tie them up and never get them off the chain .. you could always tell the bandits around here .. they would have a big dog tied at each door to their house lol

[@JC-uq5gi]

@@BrettVaughnB100 it's too bad SOME people can't have responsibility for themselves...
