Best Answer

Many senior dogs suffer from similar ailments as senior people. Their senses of smell and hearing often diminish and the dog is left without its major defenses. A dog will often try to hide if it is in unfamiliar surroundings (e.g., at the park) as a safety precaution.

How can you train dog to hunt?

Hide food 1st in the house and have the dog find it. then when he starts to get the hang of it take him into the woods and test him to see if he can find anything. Maybe hide things he likes there too. Then have him try to find an animal. You also might need a signal so he knows when to stop, go, and be quiet. Good Luck!
