Due to their size, Black & Tan Coonhounds can reach your countertop and eat anything there. You better place the garbage in a high place and avoid leaving food atop your counter. Crate-train your dog to keep him and your things safe. Coonhound puppies tend to chew on harmful stuff. Otherwise, there may be extra expenses on the vet and repair of your things.
Although sweet, this breed can be stubborn since they're made to be independent. They generally won't understand the need to obey you. Fortunately, this trait makes them easy to house-train. Although necessary, obedience training will not guarantee that they will exactly do as you say— they will do commands their way, putting some twists when doing things. Positive reinforcement persuades them to obey.
Always ask— prioritize politeness over hostility during training. Hounds ignore those who try to dominate them.
Any concerns you may have about your pet’s health and/or behavior should be brought to the attention of your veterinarian Burlington, ON.
