Getting a dog to go out

Got a little dog here that is a year old and can do it all by herself just one problem unless that track starts about 100 yards from you she won't go out any farther. If she get on a track she goes as far as needed but if no track is within that 100 yards she will just come back. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Switch her and send her on

Get off road were you can turn her loose get back in truck and ignore her or walk hunt her ignore her

Pick one good drop where you can cut from a distance. First, lead her all the way to the woods, the next time at the same place, lead her until she is begging to be cut. If she has hunt after a several times she will go from the truck and hunt fruther

Pm me if she don't work out I'm looking for a close hunting patch dog, thanks

Everyone has given great advice. Try them all and see what works. Don't get your temper up if something isn't working try the next thing. The more you hunt her the better but some just never hunt out great. Not all hunters want a dog to hunt deep.

Lots of good comments. Remember- hunting out far, is not the same thing as hunting hard. If a dog ranges out 1/2 mile and missed three coons... he was not hunting hard- just deep. A dog can hunt hard 100 yards from you, or a mile from you. I would prefer a dog to hunt a little deeper as needed.... but what I really care about is: Are they hunting smart, and hunting hard- do they generally find a track to run.

I've never had to do this but I read one solution that made sense to me. He said to take a caged coon and set it about where her normal range was. Let her go and find it. Next time set it maybe 50 yards further and let her find it. Keep doing this till your setting the cage maybe 400 yards or ask deep. He said the dog would leave you looking for a coon. Now I can see some issues this might create but it might be worth trying. Oh you do this on different days not on the same day.

as painful as it is when dog checks in quit layup 2-3 nights repeat give it a month or 2 you will see huge improvement

I prefer one that likes to hunt myself....BUT this day and time a lot of pups do what yours is doing and I myself use the old boot method on those. No I can’t make em hunt but I can make em get out of my light

If one comes back and hangs around me I'll tie it to the bumper of the truck or the closest tree to where I'm standing and turn another dog loose and keep on hunting. If it's got any hunt in it you won't have to do it too many times.

1 yr old !!

A lot of ( pups ) and that what your dog is don’t have enough maturity to hunt out big distances at that age. A couple nights a week hunt with an older dog to show it the ropes as it gets a little older and the weather gets cooler you will notice a change.

If it was me and your young dog is treeing coon alone I’d keep taking it alone until it becomes well ingrained in its head what it’s suppose to do.

Then I’d be real picky what I ran it with for the next year. Run it 75% of the time alone. Young hounds are like young kids, they pick up the bad habits quicker than the good ones!😉
