We have a 20 week old male beagle that we want to train to hunt rabbits. We have bought rabbit scent and put it on his favorite toy, and had him search on the trail that we left. However, he doesn’t seem to interested in searching for it. We don’t have the option to run with other trained rabbit hunting dogs. We have taken him to the fields to jump rabbits but he looses interest quick. Does anyone have any ideas on training them? Anything would help. Thanks!

Find someone who has an older rabbit dog and take both dogs out for a hunt. The younger will learn by watching the older dog.
