[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 3104184, member: 91783"] As the pups get older mom will start leaving them alone at night and go out hunting with dad and the helper if they have one. close to this time the pups will start to talk, and you can pinpoint them from them doing this. It seems like here that they need around thirty minutes to an hour to talk again once they have talked so if you are trying to get them to talk to you taking that into consideration is important. If you heard them from a distance and you have moved closer and are wanting to have them talk to you so that you can pinpoint them, they need time to get ready to talk to you, if you are too close to them, they might get scared and hole up or run to the brush for cover instead of talking. I have and have seen other people use the puppy cries and had them scatter because of it at this time also knowing when and where to use it is important as with all of the vocalizations.
