I find trapping rats for the young stock im bringing on is very useful! Also when walking them I take an air rifle and try get a crow or two to let them rag and toy with!Respect you quarry as much as your dogs and handle them all with care! Clean kennels,bowls and water I find key as a happy dog will be more then happy to give it all! And get a dog to a desirable fitness level before asking it to go the ground! Tools wise I have a big army bag with a bar, shovel, hand saw, rope and knife! and of course a box and collar! I use a bag as it makes solo expeditions more easy to do!
