hey nice to meet you my name is bobby lanham and i live in mishawaka indiana i am a big big coon hunter right now own 4 walker coon hounds one is a champion his name is nitech pr' hard rock stylish flame i know alot about coon hunting the problem with your dog is he does not have confidence in himself that he has the coon or you are not giving him enough coon has he treed alot of dens last year where you could not give him the coon if so you can get a caged coon where you can let it go and let him tree it it will not run to a den when he trees it give him the coon tell him your proud of him after this take him out he should tree you a coon and stay if he doesnt get another caged coon and turn it lose let him tree it when he does this go to him tye him up and leave for a few minutes let him no that you are not going to leave him you will show up let him no he can tree or you can stay there and let him tree let him tree for longer than he usally does he cant go anywhere when he trys to leave pat the tree tell him to get on there when he does this and tree for a while give him the coon. you can try this is will more than likey work the only ohter thing that he could be doing his treeing the coon and then check himself to make sure he has the coon why he is doing this he could be picking up anothers coons track and try to tree him these are one of your problems try the caged coon process if this does not work email me back and i will tell you what else you need to do but it should work well good luck with it
