If you can find and go with another houndsmen with an experienced hound you'll be miles ahead and lots of frustration missed. But makes sure a few things, make sure the hound is not ill in any way, is 100% trash broke, and has no bad habits at the tree. I would recommend hunting one pup at a time with a dead broke hound, otherwise the two of them will most like get in trouble together. Try and set up situation that will not set them back. Never correct them unless you are 100% certain they are chasing off game. 99% sure, don't shock them.
