My gyp runs squirrels up a tree but doesn't bark, most of the time she'll just sit and watch them, but sometimes she'll leave. I worked with her long and shes off jam up dogs, yall got any advice?

Have ya' tryed a roll cage. I will usualy catch a squirrel, put it in a roll cage, and let the dog have it. The squirrel being that close to the nose will often get them excited enough to start barking. Above all don't give up. Some dogs take a little longer to start barking.

i've seen first hand experience with this, my uncle has been squirrel hunting for probably 25-30 years now and the greatest dog he has ever owned would not bark up a tree for two years.... she would trail and sit down, but for some reason never barked for two years, but once she clicked you couldn't beat her. he has been breeding off this same line for years and years and they all start the same way, silent trail... and they start finding squirrels very fast but it just takes 'em a while to bark. best advice get a roll cage and take them with a broke dog.

I don't have enough patience to wait on a dog for two years to start treeing! Wow! How old is the dog you are working now?
