Absolutely! My Redbone always has her nose to the ground, especially when we're at the park. I’ve noticed she can get lost in her own world, sniffing out every little thing. It’s part of their hunting nature, which is something I love about her. Just keep an eye on them so they don’t get too distracted or wander off.

answer · Black And Tan Coonhound

I don't really trust mine off-leash either. They have a tendency to wander if they catch a scent.

answer · Black And Tan Coonhound

Having a Black and Tan Coonhound has been a unique experience for us. They are incredibly affectionate and have this amazing sense of smell, which can lead them to follow scents for a long time. Our Coonhound loves to explore, which means we have to keep a close eye on him, especially in open areas. Their stubbornness can be a challenge during training, but once they catch on, they are very eager to please. They can be quite vocal, so if you're looking for a quiet dog, this breed might not be the right fit. Overall, they are loyal companions and do well with families and other pets.

question · Black And Tan Coonhound

My trainer says scent games are a must for this breed. Do you agree?

answer · Black And Tan Coonhound

I think it's a fabulous idea. These dogs are natural hunters, so nose work taps into that instinct. My dog loves the challenge, and it's so rewarding to see how excited he gets when he succeeds at finding the target.

answer · Black And Tan Coonhound

I tried letting my Redbone off-leash once, and he bolted after a squirrel! Now, I’m super cautious. I prefer to keep him leashed unless we’re in a fenced area.

answer · Black And Tan Coonhound

They love to chase squirrels!

question · Black And Tan Coonhound

My Bluetick found one interesting scent today... and suddenly our "quick walk" turned into a full adventure 😂 What's the longest detour your dog has ever taken you on?

answer · Black And Tan Coonhound

Scent games can be a game changer for a Mountain Cur. I started doing them when I realized my dog needed more mental stimulation. The breed is known for its strong tracking abilities, so mine took to it like a pro. We started with hiding treats around the house, which made her excited to search. Over time, I moved to outdoor games where she can really use her nose. It helps prevent boredom and really strengthens our bond as well. I highly recommend trying it!

Never runs out. Ever. Flirt pole in the yard helps burn the edge off before we come inside.

answer · Black And Tan Coonhound

Scent games have kept our Coonhound entertained for hours. It's a great way to challenge their minds, especially since they love to sniff everything. I hide treats around the house and let her find them, which she enjoys immensely.

answer · Black And Tan Coonhound

I absolutely recommend a Mountain Cur. They are fantastic dogs known for their intelligence and loyalty. My Cur has a great instinct for tracking, and it’s evident that they were bred for hunting. They do require a good amount of exercise and mental stimulation, so if you're not active, they might get restless. Also, they can be quite protective of their family members, making them great watchdogs as well.

question · Black And Tan Coonhound

What's your funniest Treeing Walker moment?

answer · Black And Tan Coonhound

Definitely yes! They are such loving and loyal dogs.

answer · Black And Tan Coonhound

No. Next question. Morning run plus afternoon training or we pay for it at night.

answer · Black And Tan Coonhound

Three throws is a warm up. Flirt pole in the yard helps burn the edge off before we come inside.
