I got a 7 month old walker, and was wanting to know if shes too young to start. she goes crazy over a coons tail i got, but i showed her a live coon for the first time when she was 6 months old and she was real scared of it, but whne the older dogs got on it when we let it go, she wasnt as scared she jumped in at the end when it was almost dead. any tips?

great looking dog!!! SHit i wouldve started that dog 3 months ago
let her rip! Just dont let her get tore up. The key to making a game crazy/gritty dog is to let scrap with it a bit but dont let em get tore up a young age.

It may do more harm then good showing a young pup a live coon. Some go ape shit, some get scared. But all you need is a little scent drag now and then and let it run with some experianced dogs is the best way to go. Lots of walks in the woods.

Yes take it slow the pup isn't physically or mentally capable. The problem to starting a dog to young is that they are more likely to have a bad experience which will result in a pumped dig 4 a year or two than he will bore of coon or dread it.
