WHY would you wip the dog? that aint gonna do nothing but make him scared of you and if he does leave hes just gonna hide from your devil ##*%*. Walk your lazy butt through the woods and help him find a coon. Dogs are pack animals and he obviously doesnt hate coon enough to go find one for himself, so the only alternitive is to walk him through the woods and put him on the scent and help him to learn the woods and all the smells in it...How is wipping the dog gonna make him hunt? The dog is associating you wipping him with jus standing there doing nothing witch leads to a fearfull anxious dog that is scared of everything for no reason because hes been wipped to go hunting not helped to go hunting. Hes standing there because he wants to follow you and if you turn around and wip him and get frustrated the dog isnt learning anything but to fear you! open your eyes and think! Read some books about dogs because you have no idea about dogs if your soloution to a dog not hunting is wipping him. JMO
See to many coonhounds that are scared of everything for no reason because of ignorant dog owners thinking hitting is the key. ITS NOT THE KEY IN ANYWAY. I dont care who says it works they are full of ##*%*.
i appreciate your opiniion sir or mam ,but you implie i go out and beat the dog sensless any time i go hunting. i do not. perhaps you are a great dog trainer, i dont know. im sure you are trying to help me solve my problem and i really do appreciate that but any time you think im just being lazy and cruel you load up with me and we will go huntin and see how much ground you cover. if i was there to walk the dog to tree, why do i need the dog? this dog is capable of treeing his own ive know for a fact. yes i will walk one if thats what it needs but i think the problem arose from hunting him with companie all the time. if i was to walk him now wouldn't that reinforce the idea that i want him at my feet all the time? how did you get your redbone to hunt again? maybe that will work for me.
