see the tree
When starting out pups or young dogs, do any of you actually turn out a coon and allow the dog to see it climb the tree to associate scent and location? Or, is this a big no no and teaching them to rely on sight rather than scent?
I have a young dog (almost 2) that is a tracking fool but seems unsure at the tree. She has treed quite a few coon (dozen) on her own but I'd like to see her slam the tree a little harder. Perhaps I should leave well enough alone. Didn't know if letting her see one climb and popping it out would encourage or discourage.
Thanks.
