Frequently Asked Questions
Bluetick Coonhounds have an incredibly strong prey drive, a core part of their intelligence. Focus on recall training from a young age, using high-value treats and making yourself more exciting than the environment. Consider a long lead or a GPS tracker for off-leash excursions in un-fenced areas until their recall is flawless, as their nose will always be their primary guide.
It's more their independent nature and strong will than true stubbornness. Blueticks are bred to work autonomously, following a scent for miles without constant human direction. They are highly intelligent, as explored in The Cosmic Pet's IQ Lab, and respond best to positive reinforcement and consistent, clear commands, rather than force. They need to understand the 'why' behind the command.
