Seems like everyone has a video or book on how to train or improve a hound. I don't see anyway you can give someone instructions when they don't have a clue to purpose and level the man wants the dog trained.

A comp hunter is not going to waste two years on a dog to get it to stay at a tree. A pleasure hunter is not going to waste energy traveling two miles to a dog that passed several coon. I think we need some videos on training the hunter. Teaching the hunter to understand the difference in hounds. Then one quick video on finding a comfortable home for the dog wasting their time. You are not going to make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

BUT! All hunting area is different thru out the country. So match me up on pleasure hunting in patch woods. I'm 67 and good health(??) I don't want to walk 2mile to a treed dog when I know they passed many. I want my dogs (4) to hunt 300 to 500 yards and check back. This will cover 75% of my permittable hunting area. I want to decide where to go to next not the dogs.
Now I know All the comp hunters are laughing at this. But this is how I enjoy MY SPORT!

Bruce let me know when the videos are ready and how to order. Cause I'm never to old to learn or improve!

Tar: I have plenty of time to watch good coonhunting videos. What you talken bout? LoL!

The only real way is from experience in the woods you can watch all the 1rst grade coon hunting shows you want but only experience will help in most cases
