young dog starting ??

I have a well bred young pup he will be a yr old in june he runs track locates some ,

last night i showed him a cage coon and all he wanted to do was play ,
how or what do you do to get him to hate or be more aggressive towards coon ?
i have hunted and trained for 30 yrs and i know not all dogs like cage coon but he could nt have cared less

put another dog with him to start....or chain him and put the coon out of reach. Lots of times i try to let a young dog run around for a while and kinda get it out of their system. Its hard to take a dog that has been put up all day and then shot it a coon and have it focus.

Give a little recess before you try to teach a lesson.

i got a grand nite that want even walk up to the cage tied 3 ft from it.... want run it if you turn it loose but trees them every night by herself or with company... and a pretty decent kill dog also

any more ideas ?

he loves to run track locates and then leaves , but he would rather lick his BEHIND than fight a coon

he doesnt care to be with another dog he will go his own way

Who cares if he barks at a caged coon if he runs tracks and locates....


Like Ron said let another dog go nuts on the caged coon and he likely will too...most young dogs won't know to go nuts on a caged coon....mine ran over to it and looked at it and trotted off...let out another dog that went nuts and he came over and joined...released it...let the dogs loose to tree it..shot it out...been treeing coon ever since

Keep on his butt and get to the tree when he does...if he is right pet him..praise him...knock the coon out...repeat till he becomes confident and solid...then continue petting and praising and ween him off knocking coon out..


Young dogs just starting lack confidence and are unsure of themselves and unsure on what they should be doing..

With the leaves off I often find the coon before the dog...I am there waiting for them...they hit the tree I am there...
