Silent Tree Dog

Has anyone ever seen or heard of this? I have a pup that will bark every breath when treed with another dog. You couldn't ask for a better tree dog. And she is not barking at the other dog, she is barking up the tree. If you tie the other dog way back, she continues to tree
But by herself, she will trail and open on track but then shut up and the Garmin will show her treed. If you walk into her, she will be sitting at the base of a tree looking up and will have a coon. If you pet/encourage her she will start treeing/barking. I have never seen anything like it.

Kitty does that that every now and then since she had pups, I have spent the winter trying to get her out of it, she is a lot better now. I have been tying her back and shooting the coon out and not let her touch it, then drag her away kicking and screaming so to speak.

I had one the same way. He had a few other quirks also. I think someone had over corrected him on several issues. He would also eat a stranger up if he wasn�t dressed to go hunting.

i had a male pup like this... natural easy starter, straight, real good nose, quick on the track, deadly accurate. hed hit the tree and tree like hell for a few minutes and then he would shut down and start chewing. he would have all the wood ate down and youd have to walk in to him using the tracker (before garmin)... every once in awhile you could hear him whining as he was chewing... i sold him to a guy that was going to break him of it- hunting him in a cage type muzzle... i dont know if it worked or not lol

Mine doesn't chew and doesn't locate or hit a few tree barks. She just trails in and sits down.

Richard I had one like that she was fairly tight on track, super fast track dog, Garmin would show her ahead of other dogs and first at tree but she would look up and not bark until other dogs hit the tree. Alone she would do same as your dog. We hunted her with good clean solid dogs and after a couple years she started treeing good on her own. Don't tone or shock her if you have the patience keep hunting her it seems she needed a confidence booster and once the pattern was formed he was compelled to tree good on her own.

Maybe shes coming into heat? That old excuse works any other time a female doesnt perform.

Richard,

I had a young dog years ago that would do that. This is long before the garmins would tell you where he was at. He would scald a track into a tree, locate and then SILENCE! He would be sitting there just looking up and as you say almost always had a coon. He was also a redbone...that's before I knew better. LOL

He did not last long at my house. There was a reason I named him PSHYCHO!!!

I'm glad to hear that other people have had dogs doing similar things as mine. Maybe she's just going through a phase cause she certainly isn't a pup..

wrong wrong wrong lol back before we had all this tree power what you are describing was common . what we did is cut a keen hickory switch . give the dog a good petting along its back and sides speaking and giving encouraging words in a soothing type voice.slowly replace the petting with short gentle cracks with switch . keep up the encouraging word and increase the switch in faster stinging type of motions while keeping a grip on the collar . we use to call this warming one up.i have seen this work many times . key is to insight excitement without dog think it is being punished.i was blessed i guess hunting with older gentle men who knew how to train hounds .believe it our not in the old days most tree dogs around here were man made.didnt have many to chose from and you did the best with what you could get your hands on here in the hill country.
