I Need Some Noise

I have a pup coming up on almost 5 months. Shes a nice blue tick but man she is quiet. She can be noisy so i know shes got it when we play and stuff but wene we do a walk in the woods or teas her with some scent she is hushhhhhh. I have asked this question befor on this fourm and I keep getting told to wait untill she is older (8 months or so) but im kinda getten nervous becouse she is so quit in the woods. Any new suggestions????

Don't rush your pup. Or better said "you don't be so impatient"! A five month old pup has lots of time ahead of her. Let her mature.

My hunting buddy and I have two pups out of Bodacious. They are 11 months old. Mine has been started for a couple of months. His pup had done very little until a couple off weeks ago. Now he craws on the wood and trees like a pro. Big loud mouth and going like a ball of fire.

Way too many people are looking for a coondog at 6 months old. And they are just plan nuts to expect it. I've been following coondogs for over 50 years. I think I know a little about coondogs. Most dogs start showing their abilities around 8 to 12 months............. not at 4 or 5 months. A natural treedog, may show strong tree signs at 5 or 6 months, but they still have to mature in the woods.

JUST MY PRIVATE OPINION, PUBLICLY EXPRESSED LOL

I agree 100%. Don't push too hard too young. Let them be pups. I got a 7 month old that so far all I've done is obedience training and took on lots of walks in the woods. I'll show her a caged coon in about another month to see if she's interested. If not, I'll wait another month and show her another one. I don't really get too worried until there 12-14 months old and showing no interest. My 3 year old female was 13 months old before she would even bark at a caged coon and now she trees them all the time. So don't give up, be patient.
