I am about to get a new puppy. With all the attention they need does anyone know of a chest harness or dog tree saddle that will hold a puppy for tree climbing? If I have to stay home with him it will seriously affect my deer hunting.
That would probably be the best option. Thanks.Crate train my friend. I'm doing it now as we just got a new pup a month ago.

Dog prices are insane with the quarantine thing right now.t's hard to find the right puppy that won't cost me the equivalent of 10 new saddles.
Ask @denots what kinda creature Henry is. Ole Henry would grab that rope and hold on while you lifted him up 30ft. If he weighed a bit more I'd trust him as a rappelling partner.Maybe go for one of the species with strong jaws/necks. Just tie it’s you to your pull up rope, and pull em on up once you’re at height.
We had a Shetland Sheepdog for 11 years but he died in April. Sheepdogs don't run when you let them out since they are guarding their pasture. Hunting dogs take off and you wind up trying to find them. I was astounded when my wife bought the Sheltie, that they would stay around.Dog prices are insane with the quarantine thing right now.
100 percent agree.A new puppy is going to wreck your season if you want him to grow up as a well-behaved and enjoyable companion. He's gonna need a lot of time and attention. Crates are great, but locking a dog in one for hours on end is a great way to end up with an anxious, barking, carpet-staining, shoe-chewing waste of skin. I've seen it happen.
I've not done the dog thing because I work full time and can't have one in the office, and I don't want a yard dog. If you're a dog person, the time investment is worth it. My mom is a dog person. Her dogs are well-adjusted and obedient and a pleasure to be around. Most are not because folks think you can treat them like a goldfish. If you have a dog (or worse, a kid) that becomes your biggest priority for a couple of months (or years). Spend the time early, and you'll enjoy the results for years. Try to skimp, and you'll be pulling your hair out for years.
Your dog will be happier with 4 feet on the ground. You'll be happier missing a few hunts when you can't get somebody to watch the pup and enjoying a well-behaved animal for years down the road.
Obviously not a dog lover! For lots of us, there is no, "It's just a dog".its just a dog... put him in a cage haha. itll be fine.
i guess it just depends on how long you plan to be away. a puppy can stay in a crate while you hunt 1 sit. maybe no all day hunts. if nobodys gonna be home...but as long as you give him attention and train him when you are around i dont see a pup wrecking your season.A new puppy is going to wreck your season if you want him to grow up as a well-behaved and enjoyable companion.

my dog comes everywhere with me (not to restaurants or grocery stores or anything weird). i feed him high end food and a 1/2lb of deer meat every day. he's 15 n some change n can still chase deer. "love" dogs. but i dont act like hes my child or some weird ****. i talk to him in commands n treat him like a dog. ITS JUST A DOG DUDE. to each his own i guessObviously not a dog lover!
