2.Intelligent learning system: According to the training log released by the dog trainer @hound老K, the horse dog only needs 5-7 actual battles to master the S-shaped escape pattern of the hare, and the success rate has increased from 32% in the initial stage to 89%.
3.environmental adaptability: In nearly 30 sets of field measurement videos, the successful capture rate of horse dogs in bushes (67%) is significantly higher than that in plains (41%), and their coat structure can effectively prevent scratches from thorns.

4. Advice from professional dog trainers
1.age control: It is recommended for dogs over 18 months old to participate. Puppies’ bones are not fully developed and are easily injured.
2.protective equipment: Must be equipped with a GPS collar (positioning error ≤ 3 meters) and goggles. The hare’s back pedaling force can reach 8 times its body weight.
3.alternative training: You can use electric bait (market price ¥120-300) for simulation, which not only exercises skills but also reduces risks.
5. Selected User Practice Reports
Actual measurement records from @ Grassland Chaser show that the horse-dog "Lightning" who has been systematically trained for three months on the grassland of Inner Mongolia has a maximum catch of 6 rabbits (5 males and 1 female) in a single day. However, it should be noted that hunting of female rabbits should be stopped during the pregnancy period (April-September).
Pet behaviorist @Dr. Wang reminds: Horse dogs will have an excitement period for 3-5 days after hunting, and sniffing training (15 minutes a day) is required to alleviate the residual aggression and avoid accidentally injuring poultry.
As of press time, the Douyin topic #horsedogharechallenge has accumulated 230 million plays, and the related controversy continues to ferment. It is recommended that enthusiasts abide by local regulations and conduct training while ensuring animal welfare.
