-- How were they trained (http://forums.ukcdogs.com/showthread.php?threadid=928535059)

I turned 1 cage coon loose for Ace in the daylight (he saw it go up the tree and treed it) from there I just took him hunting alone. He probably treed close to 100 coon before he was ever cut loose with another dog. From there we just worked on polishing him for the hunts, basically correct him when he did something wrong and praise him when he did it right.

I've never trained a bigtime winner, not much interested in competitive events.
But the better dogs that I have had were users. They were only interested in you to unsnap them so they could go tree a coon .

This is a very good looking walker...I like everything about him...he has that aura I talk about...that above it all attitude that some of the great dogs have and so do the puppies that grow up to be like this hound...these dogs don't need any help and they usually strike first...they also know how hard they need to hunt to beat the competition...tell me if If I'm right or wrong about this hound...

Training???

First off, I would say that the majority of the top hounds being hunted or campaigned in the country were not trained by their owners but by their sellers. I've hunted with many so called "top hounds" and most were bought. I've trained many good hounds throughout my lifetime and I've found that what works for one will not work for another. The one thing they all have in common is the will to pursue and tree game. Every good training method known to us will be no good if the dog doesn't posses the proper tools. Some just don't have it and all the hunting in the world will not make a difference. The trick to training a dog to its full potential is to first get the right dog and second recognize when you have a good prospect. We have very little control over the outcome of a dog except to teach them the man made things, ie... handling (loading, leading, come when called, breaking off unwanted game) etc. We can't train them to hunt, to bark louder, bark faster, smell scent better or to look prettier. It really don't matter what method we use to start and train a dog, it all boils down to the makeup of each hound and then to hunt the feet off of them and weed out the problems as they come. Only then can we see what we have. Most of the time when they start to make a big splash in the coon hound world, someone with more money than sense will buy them.

On this board we read all the time about the natural hound that just needs put in the woods and they're doing it right pretty quickly so all the training that most hunters want to do is Overkill. Train to handle but training to tree coons I am not so sure about.
