The most common method is to take a pup or puppies to the field and walk very slowly, allowing them to smell around. Try to allow the pup to smell an area where a rabbit has been sitting (called a squat). This area tends to have the strongest smell. If you get no response from the pup, try to work him up the line where the rabbit ran. Make sure you get a marked line for every rabbit, don't guess. Most likely the puppy will think this is a new game and he may not understand what you want him to do. This is where you will need all your patience. If you get no response on the first rabbit resume walking slowly until you find another rabbit. The pup may show interest in smelling an area where you have not seen a rabbit; just stand quietly while he smells around. A second common method is to obtain a freshly killed rabbit. The one problem with this method is that you would have to be lucky. You would either have to be training your hound during hunting season or find a road kill along the side of the road, though the rabbit should not resemble Pizza. The freshly killed rabbit would then be used as a drag. This allows you to form a line for the pup to follow. The drag method has the advantage of being able to work in your own yard with the pup for a few days, knowing exactly where the line is. You would then be able to use one of these rabbits for about three days
