Younger dogs require putting them in circumstances that they can succeed in, finishing a dog requires putting the dog in adverse situations to make them overcome and then succeed. A lot of training is knowing when and what a dog needs. I remember helping a guy put some finishing touches on a dog. When we were figuring out where to turn loose he’d say “let’s go over to such and such place, I know we can tree a quick one there”. I’d say “nope, I know he can tree and easy coon so let’s go over to this place where it is hard to tree a coon”. It’s on the trainer to put a dog where and in what is my thinking.
John, I love this post, truer words could not be spoken. I agree 100 percent with your post. Yes, dogs need hunted to make coon dogs, but quality hunting wins over quantity hunting every time. Pick and choose your battles wisely my friends. Dave
