6 Month Old Bluetick In Training

Hey everybody! I have a 6 month old bluetick and she's doing great in training - she's having no problems tracking or treeing, but she doesn't bark when she strikes a trail. I know that she's still young and that it will take time, but is there anything that I can do to help her with this? I am training her alone right now. Would hunting her with finished dogs do any good for this? I know people have different opinions on hunting puppies with older dogs, but this is the first pup I've trained. I need some help!

One more question... she's a stunning pup and I would like to enter her into the bench show in the SC state hunt coming up in March. Can you give me some advice on bench show training? She's just full of energy and won't be still on the stand.

Thanks for your help!

Oh yeah, if y'all will let me know what you think about my pup, I'll post some pictures of her. I just like to hear comments!
