Never been a fan of having to train or try to train any hound to be independent. It's like training a dog to tree! Who wants one you had to train to tree? As has been mentioned, they likely won't be reliable anyways.
The other side of this is who wants to breed to or buy pups from a hound that had to be trained to do what should come natural to them? The naturals are the ones that are the most fun for me. If they have to be trained to do what should be genetically predisposed I don't want them. End of story.
You train hounds to handle, stop running off game, come when called, heel, sit, stay, load, what no means, etc., etc. Trailing, locating and treeing ability happens the nano second after the sperm penetrates the egg!
Excellent post...
