Anyone close to Marietta, OH have a starting/ running pen for young dogs that's started?
Must have some cover in there, don't want just sight chasing.
I have some pups that's using there noses at night running by scent but need more time in bunnies before they go to the wild. I don't have enough bunnies to keep a young one interested.
Any help would be appreciated..... Thanks

I have heard theres a guy with a 5 acre pen by Parkersburg . i don't have any contact info but it might be worth looking around over there !

Tom,
Ive started many pups in the wild that were not as far along as yours and not very many rabbits. Pups learn a great deal in the woods in addition to running rabbits. If they are already using their nose thats a good sign, putting them in a small enclosure full of rabbits at this point will only harm them. If you have the time I would encourage you to just get them in the woods and you might be surprised.
Just one mans thoughts, good luck with your pups.....
