I trust my Coonhound to an extent, but it really depends on the environment. They love to sniff around and track scents, which can lead to them wandering off.

Not really, I prefer to keep my Coonhound leashed in open areas.

I let my Coonhound off-leash during hikes, but I keep a close eye on him. They have a strong tracking instinct. Just last week, he followed a scent and almost got lost! Now, I always keep him in sight or use a long line.

I trust my Coonhound around familiar areas, but I won't take any chances in new places. They can follow scents for miles! It’s a thrill to watch them work, but I prefer having control when we are out and about.

I wouldn't say I fully trust my Coonhound off-leash. Their instinct to follow a scent is incredibly strong, and once they catch a whiff of something interesting, they can be gone in a flash. I've learned the hard way a few times, but I try to find enclosed spaces for off-leash time.
