First off you need a dog that will hunt for, find, & tree squirrels in much the same way as a 'coon dog hunts 'coons. If you start out with a well bred Cur or Feist dog pup they are fairly easy to train. Just take the pup for lots of walks in the woods where there are plenty of squirrels. Genetics will do the rest.

This is my little Feist treeing one in February:

Tanner had one of the best Mountain Curs that ever lived in his Princess Di dog.
