Help please

Not sure if this is the right place to post questions as I'm new to the site. Anyways im new to coon hounds as well. I bought a 20 month old walker a week ago and ran him in the woods a few times. He will bark on track and it seems like he tracks it for awhile then quits and he will come back to me. Last night as soon as he started barking I got close enough I could see him to make sure he was actually barking at a track. I also watched him check a few trees. He has yet to locate though. My question is what should I do next to get him to locate and tree by himself. The guy I bought him from said he would tree with other dogs but he never hunted him alone. Thanks

With our dogs we take them out with one dog that's already goin then after the pup trees good with the other dog we tie them back and don't let them have any of the coon (if we shoot it out). After doing that for a few times we turn the pup out on it's own and see what it does by itself.
