Pup traning advice?

As many of you know I have a pup that is running track well but not treeing at all. Ok, if You turned a coon loose for the pup how would you do it? Turn the coon loose give it a few minutes then cut dog? Or get the pup fired up and drag coon to tree and try to get the pup fired up on tree? Cut coon loose and let pup watch it climb? What do you think would best help the pup to get her to tree? Thanks for any and all help... I have no clue because every pup I have ever trained has always treed before they ran track. But this pup is a track driving machine and will not give up on track even after they have put it up the tree.

Kind of what I was thinking too. But just wanted to get a few opinions on it from other hunters. She will run tracks until the cows come home. After they get treed she just keeps trying to figure out where it went. I want to get this dog treeing and want to know what would best help her with that part of it. She has everything I like to see in a pup but no go on the tree part she cuts circles and backtracks trying to find where it went. I can call her back to the tree but can't get her to tree at all . She will smell up the tree but not pull a bark no matter what I do.

at this time of year it is hard for a pup to see the coon going up the tree because of all the under brush. If you can find a tree out by itself,trim the brush around it and aim the coon towards it you may have a shot of it working

This is a good point...the last coon I cut loose I did so across a mowed yard with a tree at the end. IT was climb or fight. He thought about it, but climbed about 2 inches from that pups face.
