Hi, I have a few questions. I just got two walker hound puppies. Their parents were great coon dogs and I was wondering if you could send me some good training tips on how to train them. I live by a lake so I know they have to be around water or marshy areas so I already have them where they need to go into the water so that is not a problem.

I have one more question, if I catch a coon and let it out in a field and let my dogs out on it and see what they would do would that be alright?

The Walker hound breed has the tendency to be very stubborn but these dogs can be easily trained. Early age socialization and obedience training is highly recommended for this breed. These dogs don't respond to harshness or heavy handed methods. Training should be done with patience, firmness and consistency.

Regarding your second question, you shouldn't do this because the dogs will be confused the next time you will be hunting. You need to teach them how to hunt, not to show them the pray without any prior effort from them.
