I had one like that and if I walked up and she was in a tree I shocked her out. If she wasn't in it yet I nicked her every time her back legs came off the ground. Didn't take her long to quit climbing...........

Tree climbing is a terrible thing. A lot of dogs have met thier fate falling from a tree!
Several years ago I had a buddy that let his dog run the tree extremly bad. This dog would run 6 to 8 feet up the tree and just crash to the ground. I cant remember how many times I told him that he needed to break him from this. I knew one night this tree running was going to start a huge dog fight.
Well to shortin up the story. There never was a dog fight, but the dog did get his hind legs jammed in a tree fork and when we got there of course the first thing my friend tried to do was get his dog out. He was biten 4 times! 2 on the hands, 1 one the forearm, and 1 on the shoulder! The dog was in so much pain that as soon as he was touched he just started screaming out and bitting everything he could get a hold of.
So please break your dog before it gets killed. Theres a dog fight,or someone gets hurt.

Depend on the dog but i'd personally either try shocking them out of the tree or climbing up and knocking them out. Try tto make them fear climbing before it kills them.

I was on a nite hunt one nite where one met his fate to climbing.
Also known someone who has 2 dogs who are bad to climb any tree they can get in or jumping up trying to climb and come crashing down.. drive ya crazy.

Lost a good un this fall. Zeke was a tree climbing fool, nails ground back with a dremel slowed him down some, shocking up the tree could work if the situation is right, but its kinda like a dog running loose, sooner or later it will get run over,with a tree climber it will die sooner or later just a matter of time JMHO

she does not run the tree . chews alittle on a vine ,but if it has low branchs or is leaning she will shut up for a min, then be up there treeing when ever she can not get any higher, seen her 5 to 6 feet from the coon

Mine would run up or wrap her front legs around and push with her back legs like a squirrel. I shocked her out when she was up there pretty far. She would try to get back to the trunk but the longer she was up the hotter it got and when she was bounceing on the tree. Every time the back legs got off the ground she got a nick and the more she did it the hotter it got. After she figured out the game the juice got real hot when the back legs came off the ground. I would pet her as long as she kept the legs on the ground though to make more contrast in the two actions.......

Stop It

I lost the best one I have ever put in the truck in January to tree climbing. Will be hard to stop but try to stop it soon. Mine fell aprox 40 ft. and landed on a big pointed rock 3 coons in the tree.

I had a female here last September in a nite hunt climb up bout 30 feet and crashed right on her head. She was 7 then and that is the first time he has ever done that thankfully it didn't kill her.

The hurricanes here in North Carolina has created the ultimate death sentence for a lot of good dogs. Their desire and determination to get that coon they are trailing, has ended some good ones, because most don't no what they have done until they look down at their master and see they are in trouble. I watched helplessly my buddies hound sitting on a small limb about 70 foot in a tree, for almost 2 hours. Ladders, ropes, and tree stands were tried, but nothing helped. Finally the dog gave up trying to hold on, and instead of landing in the soft mud, he broke his back on harder ground. If it climbs or attempts to climb, shock-it, beat-it, it don't matter, anything will help.

If you are a breeder and it is good and in your dogs (it is in the blood). If you are a breeder and it is bad and not in your dogs but in others (it is in the blood). If you have a dog doing something and you don't know how to break it (it is bred in there). I guess everything is bred in if you think about it right. Evan highif you call high desire to get to a coon bred in tree climbing. I call it a training error. My opinion don't count for much but here it is. Quit tieing up your pups at the tree till you break them of bad habbits............Like climbing, face barking leaveing and every thing else you don't want them to do.
