I can't figure this out and need help with training my dog. I thought I had trained her better than this. First I want to say that my dog is about 8 years old so maybe she has become set in her ways.

Here are a few of my rules that she seems to be breaking now that season is in here in Northern Indiana.

1. 2-3 times in the last 2 nights she has treed FARTHER than 150 yards from the truck. This is a no-no for me.....She has to tree them closer than THAT to the truck.

2. At least once night before last and twice last night, she treed more than the desired 30 steps from the mowed paths. She was back in thick stuff, briars, etc. What was she thinking?

3. Lastly, a big pet peave. Last stop last night she broke all 3 rules at once......She treed 200 yards away, off the path in a BIG LEAFY OAK tree. How does she expect ME to find a coon in a tree such as this? I mean there could have been a pickup truck up in that tree hiding and she wants me to find a lil ole coon?

I know she treed 4 singles within the first 90 minutes of hunting both nights....but if she continues to break the rules above. She just may be in loose hands!

Any training advise would be appreciated.

Have a good time out there, be safe and more importantly, take a kid or an old hunter along.....the rewards are far greater for you than for them!

It's the "LOOSE NUT" on the other end of the leash.
It's your fault for not putting her into the right places.

You trained the coon as well as you trained the dog. They are doing it for spite. Probubly up before you get the dog there just waiting on you. NOT THE DOGS FAULT it has to be the trainer. LOL

I reckon as long as she can tree 3-4 in a couple hours and I can get back in the easy chair by 9, then she can hang around for a while. If I start getting scratched up by the briars or a sore neck from searching them big oak trees....ALL BETS ARE OFF!

I appreciate that she trees 1-4 coons in each tree but her & I both know only 1 is fallin out to her...not sure why she goes to the trouble of treeing more than 1 in a tree. (More training...she needs to work on effeciency). I gues she is just showin off in her old age. She better quit barkin so loud too as it seems they climb higher in the tree when she does that.

She used to want to carry them to the truck too...now she just chews on them a while looks at me and expects ME to carry it. Lazy dog.......

What's a guy to do?

Judging by your username you are probably in Indiana?
I would be more concerned with the fact she only treed 4 coon in 90 minutes. Although all that other stuff can certantly bothersome!
