Treeing Walker Coonhound

Ours is young but is very eager to please, so she's very trainable and has already learned to ring a bell to go outside and sits while we prepare her meals, waiting for 'ok' to release. She's very affectionate, great with our 2 miniature pinschers and all the kids in our neighborhood. So please we found her at the Humane Society <3

Willabee gets daily runs while on the leash as I ride along with him on my atv.He looks forward to this every day and even catches woodchucks even though he is leashed.Walker hounds must have exersise or they wont sleep well at night.Using my ATV allows him to actually run and really burn it up.When Willy is around the house he enjoys over 4 acres of electric fenced in pastures to run around on.I cant stress enough how important it is to have lot of room and an electric or wooded solid fenced in yard for a dog like this.Otherwise he will run off at the first scent of wildlife.He barks at ever car that pulls into the drivway making him a very good watch dog.He hears every tiny little noise with those ultra sensative beautiful ears.Willabee is the most affectionate loving dog I have ever known.Loves children and other dogs.He loves to sleep under the bed covers all night long which is so nice on the cold winter nights.He is a wonderful house dog who really enjoys lounging.Willabee watches TV and especially likes to see dogs on the screen as he barks at them.When I look into his eyes I see nothing but love and a pure connection to his soul.I don't think a more loving affectionate dog exists like the hound.He is extremely smart,likes simple toys like a stuffed sock.Willabee is highly intelligent and seems to understand the word boredom very well.He will stare at me when he gets bored and whine and start barking untill I either play with him or give him something to do.He likes 3 squares a day and lets me know when hes ready by walking up to the cabinet and barking at it.He loves taking rides in the truck with his head out the window and dreds the times that I must leave him home.Walkers are extremely needy dogs that want their master around constantly which he displays with moans, tears and licks upon my arrival after leaving him for only 30 minutes.I even out two way cameras in my home so I can see and talk to him while im away.Its really cool and it seems to help satify him. I love Willabee more than anything because he makes it so easy to love him.I will miss him so dearly one day.My heart is already broken.

The Treeing Walker Coonhound I have experience with was high energy, and she seemed eager to please in exchange for food. She did not seem very motivated by praise nor physical touch. When new people would arrive, she was especially vocal, and only stopped after a some time was spent in her presence. The best method was to ignore her for the most part until she came up to the new person, if they attempted to approach her, she would get increasingly agitated and on occasion snapped at the person. On our walks, she was certainly eager to lead me rather than walk by me. She seemed to enjoy any chance she was given to indulge in the smells around her, and was easily distracted by birds and squirrels. She did not seem very pleased by the presence of other people nor dogs on our walk, I found it easier to cross the street entirely rather than try to walk past them on the sidewalk.

I have yet to come across any living creature that Fitz didn't love. He gets along wonderfully with our 3 year old golden retriever and loves to great everyone that comes to the office when he comes to work. He's a playful put that loves to fetch, but will shred a toy to pieces when given the chance. He catches on to new commands quickly and listens very well. While he doesn't make much noise throughout the day, he always howls back when told "I love you."

Very loyal and loveable. Listens well. Friendly. Loves to track deer.

We adopted our Connhound from the Humane Society when she was 3 years old. She was extremely malnourished and severely underweight. We could tell that her previous owners did not give her much attention. We fell in love with her as soon as we met her. She can be very stubborn and has to sniff EVERYTHING, but she is so sweet and just wants to be loved. She was a perfect addition to our family!

We were not looking for a dog, but feel in love with this 8 week old pup my son brought home. Crawled up onto my husband’s chest and fell asleep. That was it. Tucker loves everyone he meets and likes to lick your face. He especially loves going to the dog park and socialize with his buddies and just be a dog. He can bark his head off and run and chase. Could not see ourselves without him. He is part of our family and we love him as much as our 3 human children.

She is a handful! This is my first experience with a hound, and I definitely didn't know what I was getting into. They're so smart, but very stubborn. She needs SO much stimulation, both mental and physical. But she is an amazing dog and I am so happy to have rescued her.

Got him from a shelter- have HD- him for 3 years and he ever has had an “accident” n the house- at the very being he did some chewing but that stopped quickly.....he is a wonderful dog BUT barks way tooo much.— right now, he is standing in front of me and barking....He barks to go outside, barks to come back in, and that is a good thing, but sometimes the barking is very annoying......He has a crate ad loves the crate- never had a crate for a dog before, but he wold be lost without his crate- when we leave the house, we leave the crate open, and when we come home, he is usually in it, although he barks like crazy when we leave, because he wants to go with...loves to ride in the car.He is terrible on a leach, which s our fault, because we never trained him to be..he weighs 88 pounds ad is very powerful....he s a runner and has gotten out of the house more than once and a bugger to catch and get back home....but we love him

My 15 year old son & I adoped our TW coonhound almost a year ago. She was over weight, timid, sensitive and hadn't been trained or socialized. She had a rough start. But now she has relaxed a lot and has really made herself comfortable in our house. She is very stubbern and difficult to train. However, she is the sweetest dog I have ever had. She loves everyone and enjoys being in our active house. She is nervous of strangers who come in our house and will have a "nervous" accident when she greets visitors or is excited/scared. This is just something we prepare for now. She barks A LOT and howls, bays. I would not recommend for apartment living. She is leash reactive with other dogs, however off the leash she gets along fine with dogs. She lives with 2 cats and they do ok together, with just some chasing. She gets a lot of exercise most days by a long walk, hiking, dog park or doggie day care (for socializing) but a 45 minute walk or playing in the yard is usually enough to calm her. She very healthy, but does seem to shed a lot. She like to sleep with me most nights but sometimes stays on teh couch. She barks at people when they walk up to our house but is not protective once people come in. She really is an amzing, fun & lovable dog.

She's such a fun loving puppy

Roxi is a spunky, sweet, loving little girl! At just 3 weeks shy of 6 months she weighs 33.6 pounds!!! The vet expects her to be about 65 pounds or more by time she’s fully grown😳 Roxi loves walks and runs, which we usually do daily/bi-daily. However, if you’re planning on letting your dog off leash, the answer is not unless it’s fenced in! A TW Coonhound CAN NOT be trusted off leash. Training your Pupperoni Pizza as early as possible, we got Roxi when she was almost 4 months old and sometimes we still struggle with certain aspects of training.

My July is a sweet affectionate girl who loves to go everywhere I go. She will take off running like the wind in the yard like she’s showing me how fast she can go.She is so gentle with my grand kids. And puts up with my 12 lb poodle but she let her know that’s she’s top dog. I just love her

none this is our first walker. our last dog was a beagle

So far so good other than her chewing and biting stubborn to train but gonna be patient

Very happy and excitable dog, one person dog but loves the family setting all the same. Very loyal and listens very well. will chase small animals but very friendly with cats and household pets. Very very friendly but mine came to me as a rescue so she is very reserved at first

This is my 5th coonhound. The others were Redbone. Addie is much mellower than any redbone I’ve had.

Bowie is an extremely lovable dog. His personality is very friendly and affectionate. He learns quickly, especially if the learned behavior involves food.

Stubborn when he was younger. At 1 yr it all came together. He's a phenomenal dog, unless he doesn't get exercise, then he gets into trouble.

He was a rescue and it took a lot of patience and time for him to trust anyone but me or my husband. He is sweet but wary with strangers.

He's very kind and nice he loves to play

Ruby is sweet and loving. She loves to hunt buy is having trouble socializing.

Has been an excellent pup so far. Does not bark hardly ever, not at knocks at the door or noises outside. He’s a total chicken! Runs from people, other animals (even small teacup dogs), birds freak him out, he jumps if he sees a stick on the ground unexpectedly LOL He lives with two cats and loves them more then they love him and are the only thing he will bark at because he wants to play and well as cats they just stare at him lol they aren’t scared of him at all and keep him under control. I could never picture him hunting. He’s afraid of his own shadow! He is definitely food driven and wants people food way more than his own. He digs a lot and will hide his treats, toys and raw hides all around the house. Loves to cover them up in blankets or anything else he can find.

She is very lovely and sweet but loves to eat shoes and bark.

Very affectionate to humans Tolerate cats Very energetic (2 hours of exercice per day) Bark (howl) a lot specially when she sees other dogs Very intelligent, fast learner

We adopted her when she was 8 5 years old, from an abuse situation. She was very nervous at first, but didn't take much to warm up. She is extremely friendly to people and other dogs. She can get protective if a dog without a leash comes up to her and senses we are worried. She loves nap time, pets, and most of all chicken Jerry. She always wants to be with the family and loves to travel in the car.

He was drop off at my house and was very scared of people. It took 2 months for him to trust me. I'm trying to house brake him. Now he really loves me. They only problem with that he follows me when i leave for work trying to stop him do that. Any ideas. Best i can tell he a year old,he maybe a little younger.

She’s a great hiker. She loves all dogs. At the dog park we can go through three rounds of visiting dogs and she’s still not tired out. She’s mostly high energy or asleep. Scout lives cuddling ❤️

We have had Tilly for 8 months now. She is a rescue girl. She has a huge amount of energy, she needs to be vigorously exercised twice a day, but then she is usually content to lay around on a soft bed or snuggle with her humans. She is extremely food driven, but is very excitable and stubborn so training has been difficult. She has a bit of a barking problem. However, areas we have made progress in include jumping on strangers, coming when she's called, and generally being more tuned in to her humans.

I grew up with many hounds.

A great dog. Has some separation issues as she wants to be near her people at all times. Thinks she is a tea cup poodle but is a good sized dog.

Very good and loving dog. Just very vocal and loud which could be a problem for some families with babies.

First time owning a walker hound, I grew up around bluetick coonhounds. He is such an amazing dog! Extremely smart, loves spending lots of time with us and his JRT brother. He’s always 0-100. They need lots of mental stimulation and exercise.

Gracie seems very small for a TW, but I had her DNA tested and she is purebred. She is about 45 pounds. She is calm, yet can walk with me for miles, and runs to her hearts content at the dog park. She gets along well with all other dogs.

Cookie was a rescue from an abusive situation - she'd been tied up and shot with a beebee gun; so she has a deformed leg (beebee lodged in growth plate) and a permanent scar around her neck from the rope she was tied up with. With all that; she amazingly LOVES all people. Her experience has given her some odd fears though - she's afraid of soda cans; and hates riding in the car for some reason. She doesn't play with toys (other than to immediately destroy them) but loves chewing on bones. She barks at EVERYTHING; loudly and for a long time - even if it's just a delivery truck across the street. She hates the rain; and refuses to go out in it. She doesn't need as much exercise as most of this breed and will take herself to bed at around 8pm; and sleep through to 6am. I was able to teach her many commands; but if I have a treat - she will not wait for me to name one command; she'll just do all of them one after another (sit, down, around, paw, other paw). She is very loveable and sweet. Oddly, her favorite place to relax is up on the back of the couch (like a cat would).

At 6 months of age, Maggie was actually bought through a coon hunter with prestigious bloodline dogs well known in the coon hunting world during his hunting career. The breeder hunted dogs as a profession. We traveled by truck 400 miles to pick her up. She was actually the runt of the litter of pups we were looking at. When we got to the "breeder's" home, we found appalling conditions and 50+ various large breed hunting dogs all over the property - none housed, fed or cared for at all. How this guy was never reported to the ASPCA is beyond belief!! We picked Maggie, exchanged the money and papers, and left asap! ( I immediately called Animal Control as soon as we had good cell reception) Maggie was so timid and afraid of everything - the poor dog shivered and hid her face for the entire trip home in the crack of the back seat. Her ears were covered in bites because, being the runt of the litter and only getting fed occasionally, she was beat up every time she got near the food. That was 4 and a half years ago. Once she made it to our home - she was treated like an absolute queen. She lives indoors. Sleeps in my queen bed under the blankets with her head on "her" pillow. She had one episode of going to the bathroom in the house on the first day we got home. We took her to the door and gently told her that she needed to go potty outside - she hasn't had an accident since. She lives with her "sisters and brother" - 6 other small Maltese/Yorkie dogs. She is our baby. She listens so well. She is beyond smart. Has the memory of an elephant. She does howl, bay and bark - LOUDLY - but that is what she is supposed to do. She is very protective and loving of our whole entire family - adults and children. She thinks that she is a little dog and will try to curl up on the kitchen chairs like the little dogs. She is such a sweetheart. Since she was beat up and not fed well at her previous owner's, she does have food aggression. We are still working on that though. We just feed her in a gated off room instead of with the other dogs. We love our Maggie.

Bandit started off as such an excitable dog, he is HORRIBLE on leash only because we have many acres that he follows kind of close. He was very easy to train with the fundamentals after 6 months. Otherwise, he would not listen. Now he is able to sit and paw when he knows it's dinner time, he now understands that after going outside to use the washroom after eating dinner that it is bed time and he goes straight up stairs. Bandit RARELY barks in the house, only when he is playing with another dog and will stop as soon as I tell him it is time to stop. He never has accidents in the house and will wake us up at night by liking our face to bring him outside if it is an emergency. I am so happy with our goofy little pup and will definitely look for another walker hound when I get the chance to have another pup.

My puppy Jace has been so loving to me and my family. Though I’ve noticed he has extreme separation anxiety and will cry when left alone. But I’ve been told that all Tree Walker Coonhounds are like that. But besides that he is extremely easy to bathe because of his short coat and he is very smart. And unfortunately gets bored easily. He’s also very food motivated and the best way to get him to do something is if food is involved. I love him and I can’t wait to make so many memories with him.

He has a lot of energy and if he gets bored he tears up stuff so I have to make sure he’s getting enough exercise. I have 2 other dogs in the house and he gets along great with them. He is also wonderful with the kids and grand baby. He will chase a cat or anything that moves, down the road if he gets out. He is always barking at cats outside. He is easy to train and always wants to please. He is also very affectionate and loyal!
