Bluetick Coonhounds are not predisposed to many health problems, other than ear infections. If you are asking about behavior problems that is another matter. Coonhounds are very stubborn and can be difficult to train. When I first got my hound I had a very difficult time trying to train her and I met a couple of other coonhound owners who were just as discouraged as I was. After consulting with a couple of trainers who told me that they couldn't help me, I found a trainer through sitmeanssit.com who works with an electric collar and it has been a life saver for us. My coonhound is now very well behaved and she almost never barks or howls any more. Coonhounds also gets anxious and destructive when they doesn't get enough excersize. We are luck to live just a 5 minute drive from a mountain trail head so we go hiking every day. The e-collar has also been great because it allows me to let her off leash on the trail without having to worry that she will catch a scent and run off. |
