young hound hunting question

I have a 1.5 year old male and female. My buddy recently took the female to try. She wouldn't do anything alone and my male is same way. We take them together and the look like two good coon hounds either or will strike first or tree first. So I don't think they are just me too dogs or they wouldn't do anything together. Tonight my male hunted the creek for 150 yards come back and stayed around so I loaded him up and took him home. They both always ran and trees with broke dogs. They will run and tree coon together. But won't range out or do much alone. What's a hunter reckon is going on?

Going home not gonna help. Gotta hunt them and be patient.

×2 just keep taking them.
If you can turn out on a HOT track, they should run and tree, roll it out. Build their confidence. Use feed buckets if you have to. Anything to get that first coon by themselves

The only way he'll learn to hunt alone is to hunt alone. Feeder buckets will only set him back. One of the hardest things about coon hunting is to stand for 20 minutes and your dog still be 30 feet from you. But, it's the only way they'll learn to go.

Fed buckets won't set them at all, from what the man described these pups need their confidence build up and that's the fast way to get it done.
Get them on a HOT TRACK and field in their mouth
