how old is to young to start training coon hounds

[Redneck]

I have two pup's that are 6 weeks that are in question , i know they need to be pups first but they are tracking the coon hide the two of them playin tug o war with each other .they have been shown a kitten and mauled it . so now how soon should i show em a live coon

About 6 to 9 months old. 1 bad experience with a coon at that young of age will leave a lasting impression for a long time.

You want to do some training now wire some Deer glands to a electric fence charger, that will leave a good impression on them and save you some frustration later!

We let ours bark on the cage when ever they get interested in it, but I wouldnt let a pup that age get to close and get mauled. The pup should let you know when it is ready, we had pups start at three months and one now that is six months and just starting to chase.

Nothing but hot dog drags until 6 months!!

I WILL PLAY WITH THEM WITH A COON TAIL OR HIDE AT 5 TO 6 WEEKS AND SHOW THEM A COON AT ABOUT 3 MONTHS OLD BE CAREFULL NOT TO LET THEM GET CHEWED ON LIKE STATED ABOVE LET THEM TAKE IT IN AT THERE OWN PACE AND HAVE FUN WITH IT. SOME WILL START YOUNG OTHERS NOT SO YOUNG.
