I wouldnt waist a coon for a problem like this. Killing a coon for having a bad habit is reinforcing the problem. One of us coonhunters #1 mistakes in training.
Stay close to her, if you get to her while she is treed and she has the coon then you decide wether you want to kill it(only if she earned it but I still wouldnt kill). If no killing tie the dog back at the tree then take a smoke, baccor, coffee break and let it tree. If it leaves run the dog down, mark the tree (area) best you can cut you a limb and sting it. Walk it back into the area and tell it to "get back on that tree" if it does tie it, shine and if it has it take a break (this isnt any time to kill the coon, it left the tree). Be constistant in what you do, this is one of those cases of letting the dog get away with anything and it may not commit and stay at any trees.
You will also want to have a connection with the dog. When I am correcting a dog (and it happens often instead of waisting coon) I want to make sure the dog understands why its getting corrected. If you dont think the dog understands why this is happening dont correct.
Good Luck have fun
