A guide for a healthy adult. Puppies, older dogs and flat-faced breeds in the heat need less.
Good to know
- Bred to tree raccoons: they follow a scent trail for long distances, so a secure fence and a leash outdoors are a must.
- Famous voice: they "bay" with a deep, ringing call when on a scent, which can carry far and bother close neighbors.
- Easygoing at home: they are usually mellow and friendly indoors, but need regular long walks or runs to stay content.
- Nose-first training: once on a trail they can tune you out, so patient, reward-based training and a solid recall take work.
Getting out with a Black and Tan Coonhound
Daily walks and some play keep them content. A mix of park time and easy trails suits them.
