All these dogs have tree bread into them, you just need to help bring it out sometimes.
X2 I wouldnt say its an easy fix bcuz nothin is guaranteed but its the best way Ive seen to tighten one up. My 2 year old wouldnt tree for the first year that I had her.shed run the track, blow the top out of the tree but 1 minute was all you had to get to her and it was near impossible,. Walked her in to a few trees, held her back and let the other dog fight the coon. Now shes not gonna stay on the tree all night but she'll either be on the tree or within 50 yards of it for several hours. Giving a dog a bunch of coons when he wont tree to begin with is basically tellin him he doesnt have to tree to get the coon.
