Is there a way to get your dog more accurate on layup coon?

No, it's something they are either good at or they aren't.

i trained one the way it was described to me,he turned out to be a pretty good at treeing lay ups.But his bloodline was known for it,so not sure if he did it naturally,or if it was the way he was trained.........

You cant train a dog to tree layups. Its within their ability or it's not. Many times a person believes they have a layup dog but don't but they will sure tell you they do. I believe a true layup dog can scent a coon that has been laid up for some time that other dogs cant smell or there isn't enuff scent to stimulate the average dog. They catch the downwind scent of the coon and have the uncanny ability to locate the correct tree whereas others locate in the general location or a few trees off. I have had a couple of dogs that would wind and wind and circle and stand on their hind legs in the area that just cant quite figure it out. They otherwise were good solid accurate dogs but just didn't have the layup knack. They are all gonna miss sometime as they are scent driven and conditions and circumstances vary, but when you get a good layup (which you will know when you hunt them with another good dog and he cant smell the coon) you certainly enjoy the ability they have.

Shadinc that is the some good advice and Doug R I believe what you said is true because I have had a dog like you are talking about out of Russ Downing’s Weasel and a Spanky female that treed multiple times with good dogs standing around and he would almost always have a coon

I have one now that trees layups. Sometimes she'll go out a few hundred yards without barking and stop. (Looking at Garmin) Stay in a small area for a few minutes, locate and go into a chop. She's been doing this since she's 8 months old. She is also extremely accurate.

Have you run her with another finished dog that cant smell the coon and doesn't tree when she does this and she has a coon. An accurate dog as you describe her will usually check and sometimes recheck then settle.

I have had wide open track dogs that all of a sudden blow up on a tree where you know they surprised a coon and it popped right up in front of them.

i have watched both dogs i have now slow down and go to checking and smell every tree till they find the one the coon is in and fall treed on it . coon would be curled up asleep sometimes. when i see them start coloring in a small area on the garmin most of the time they are tree sniffing .lol

I thought mine was treeing layups for a while but then I realized he was actually ambushing those coons...
