I have a 7 month old english, an I was having the same problem! This is what I have been doing. I have been taking him out to the woods by himself every night and I mean every night for the past month and turning him loose, and each night he has gone out further and further, and staying out longer! By letting him get use to the dark by himself. He is naturally getting use to the dark , without having another dog being there to make him feel secure and safe. He is getting over the fear of the dark. I don't know of a quicker or better way, but has been working so far! Tonight he went out about 250 yrds and stayed out for about 45 mins. He didn't run anything, but we are working on that! He came back when a pack of Yotes' started up, he did bring me a half eaten coon! Lol We are over run with Yotes' and they seem to be killing off everything! Has anyone ever heard of Yotes attacking hounds? I apologize for changing the subject!
