| NADOI Training Tips: Back to the Basics, by Jeanne Hampl: Not too long ago I did a presentation at the Humane Society of Tacoma and Pierce County on teaching a reliable recall. I demonstrated with a darling Australian Shepherd mix. Teaching a reliable recall is necessary for your dog’s safety.

I teach from the outline below over a six-week class.

A person could almost say that the history of the English Coonhound is the history of all coonhounds — and he wouldn’t be too far wrong. With the exception of the Plott Hound, all the UKC breeds of coonhounds have a common ancestry that is deeply rooted in the English Foxhound.
The English was first registered by UKC in 1905, under the name of English Fox & Coonhound. English hounds have excelled in both performance and conformation. The first major coonhound Field Trial of all time, the first Leafy Oak, was won by an English dog called “Bones”, owned by Colonel Leon Robinson. |
