Treeing Walker Coonhound Jax Howling for a Ride to the Store

[@heidihanson1892]

I love how you appreciate his personality and humor. He's a VERY handsome boy with a charming personality! What a delight. Thanks for sharing.

[@freebird889]

You're very welcome.

[@heidihanson1892]

My husband and I watched this video about five times, each time laughing harder. Our treeing-walker loves rides, too. Even if we are going out for a 10 minute trip, we have to invite him and his sister (golden retriever mix) or he will howl nonstop, and then ignore us when we get home. He can hold quite the grudge. Lol.

[@Insert_Creativity_Here]

I love how every time he bays he does that tiny hop it’s adorable lol

[@freebird889]

He's a goof and I love him for it.

[@blister9366]

My foxhound hops when he barks. 😊

[@deborahroser2809]

I love your dog!

[@oc4515]

My father was a hunter and, my god, do I remember that bark. My father kept 8 of these dogs at all times all through my childhood. My father is 80 now and still has 2 coonhounds that he still takes out hunting.

That's a cool hound! Great voice and personality! I miss my Beagle and his beautiful bay!

[@rosea2350]

Growing up we always had hound dogs, they’re such sweethearts.

They're the best I think. Very loving. He always has to be by my side unless he's out howling.

Awww! This made me so happy. My tree walker Cooper passed away two years ago and I miss him so much. They sound so similar.

[@freebird889]

I'm sorry to hear about Cooper. Hounds are the best dogs around can't be the howl.

[@the_claydog02]

Out of all the "this will make your dog bark" videos I can find. This was the only one that made my coonhound react. Even then it was slight moaning of excitement

[@freebird889]

The grunts and moans. Yep I'm familiar with them.

They are not for all people, but if you want a forever friend that's what they will be. Lots of exercise needed.

[@dustinthewind3925]

My stepdad had a dog like this. He gave her up to me after keeping her in a small kennel in the suburbs for 10+ years... she whined and barked and bayed at everything, constantly, 24/7. Once she had 5 acres to roam, she only made noise if there was something to chase. First and only time I saw a red tail fox out here was because of her. Even though I hated her at times when I was younger, growing up to that noise, I still miss the free version of her. Her last few years were the good ones.

[@freebird889]

Oh man that's sad. Yeah these dogs are great and bed plenty of space to roam. I'm glad she got her last few years to roam free.

[@MrKrisstain]

What a perfect doggo.

[@freebird889]

He's my best friend. I love him very much. It was very hard to get used to him at first because he does what he wants most of the time. He ran off a lot, but we're figured it out and it was worth it.

[@physicsandastronomyclubatu4596]

What a cute boy!

[@JK-uj9hs]

Really want to get a hound soon. Especially after this video, but I always liked talkative pets.

[@freebird889]

Omg sometimes he never shuts up. He grunts, growls, howls, whimpers, whines, pushes his snout in my face, claws at me when he wants something. I'll never not know when he doesn't need or want something though because he'll always let me know exactly what it is. Such a personality.

Very good dog! Like him alot. It may sound weird, but I actually bark and howl the same way when I want something. it drives my roommate crazy and she has to tell me to "lay down" or says "Are you going to annoy me today, Louis?" She literally has to limit me to five barks per day. I am not kidding about this. I do bizarre things sometimes but am not crazy in a bad way.

[@jimamccracken5783]

I owned a Treeing Walker Coonhound and was a delight. He had friends come to see us. And every time he heard the truck they drove come up the driveway. He would start this barking it was so funny he would come in the house and set with the Old Guy he was named after.

[@gummo1997x]

never can get my crowley to bark and yours made him!! he’s half Great Pyrenees half treewalker so he looks like yours just little bigger n little more fluffy :)

[@freebird889]

That's awesome! Glad we could help! Sometimes I gotta get him riled up, but he will always howl. I also have a video from when we were camping in the mountains in New Mexico and some elk surrounded our tent. They were making their calls and to this day he goes wild when he hears it.

[@jenkins85]

What a handsome fella. My girl Treeing walker doesn't care for cars but she doesn't hate them either. Just jumps in the back, plops right down and goes to sleep until we get to our destination. 2 day road trips are nothing to her (with ample bathroom breaks ofc)

[@freebird889]

I wish Jax would just lay down 😂 He can't sit still in the car. He's gotta sniff everything and see everyone we pass. He rubbernecks everyone on foot. He does better on long car rides and just lays down looking out the window. We once went on a 8 week trip and he got the idea about a week in. We just stayed in his favorite places, the park, so most of the excitement had settled down.

I don't know what he wants cuz it's like 11:00 PM. He was out for walk and potty, he had a huge supper. Cannot figure out what he wants.

[@freebird889]

He probably wants to run and chase stuff. Do you hear coyotes in the distance? Any type of critters outside rustling around?

[@noahmisch9266]

[@Milo_Rivera_A]

Do you hunt em

[@freebird889]

No I do not personally hunt him. He goes out on his own every night though. He hunts all sorts of stuff. He packs with the other dogs in the neighborhood and they chase off the coyotes and pigs.

[@darinbarfield8738]

He looks a lot like the one that took up at my home a few months ago, I tried to find his owners, we advertised and shares in several posts for a few weeks, no takers. So I took him down & got his shots and fixed up a penned area for him, my daughter named him “Howdy” so I guess he’s ours now... Only problem is I don’t want him to run off, and he doesn’t listen or respond to us too well, he looks like he might be 7-8 years old, He’s gentle but doesn’t seem to been trained to do any basic commands like sit or lay, or stay, etc ... and. Definitely doesn’t know come! Other issues is he has to mark ( piss) on everything, he peed on my other dogs, and my oldest daughter was furious as I guess he decided to hike his leg on her. I watch him if he walks around me and warn him what’s gonna happen if he pees on me!!😂 maybe he does understand that warning ⚠️. I’ve had dogs that mark their territory, but he makes everything non stop!- In addition he will back up to a tree or a bush and take a crap 💩 up against the tree, That’s a behavior, that I’ve never seen another dog exhibit before... If I could minimize his need to piss on everything it would be great, Hard to let him out of his pen, have to worry about him running off and he has to leak on everything that’s sitting still. Have any other Tree Walking Coonhound owners had similar problems or issues with yours?

[@freebird889]

I know this is like super late, but I don't get notifications for comments for some reason. But yes the answer is yes. Jax will pee on everything in sight even if nothing is coming out. He too backs up to stuff to poop. He will poop in potted plants if we're not careful. He has also pooped in bushes and there were turds hanging high in the bushes. He's a pain in the ass, but once they train you and you begin to obey their commands life gets easier 🤣

[@darinbarfield8738]

@@freebird889 Thanks for the reply. Yes.. our Howdy when let out of his pen will go to brick mailbox, The fence post at corner of yard, Sometimes across the street to the neighbors fence post- And back up to it & drop his 💩, Don’t quite understand how he holds in all day to release on demand, but he manages!😂 He’s a sweet dog, but definitely lacks any refinement, Wish he played a little better with our other dogs, he’s not aggressive but wants to hump or slobber all over our smaller dogs & never quite learned how to play or interact with other dogs. He was older when he wandered up on my property & we’ve had him 3-4 years now… so don’t thinks he’s gonna change much.

[@freebird889]

@@darinbarfield8738 I know your Howdy can change. Coonhounds are extremely intelligent dogs and learn new things all the time. You might teach him for the sake of your other dogs.

Interesting how diffrent the coonhounds howls are. My Bluetick has a very deep howl compared to some videos I've looked at.

[@mademan2584]

i just adopted a walker Coonhound can you give me any pointers on what to expect and was of training? thanks

[@freebird889]

They are insane for the first 3-5 years. Very lovable, confident, and demanding. Training is all good/treat based. Gotta keep them active. Lots of walks or runs at the park. They will totally run off and follow their nose for days. Make sure you're aware of any lost/found Facebook groups in your area and neighboring areas. Shelters numbers all that. Jax is a runner. Eventually though because of where we lived he stayed about a mile from home and no further. He always wanted to fight wild pigs and coyotes and often came home beat up and bloody. Sometimes with what ever the coyotes were eating.

@@freebird889 She has become obsessed with eating. She is on a strict feeding schedule. She will pace for hours wanting to be feed. She will not go potty outside any longer because everything distracts her from doing her business. If its not little things like the wind blowing, she will just stand in the garage staring at the cooler that holds her food, she will do this up to an hour if we would let her. She is very healthy, exercised, and as I said, this just started 3 weeks ago.

[@springfield03sniper]

My dad hunted blue ticks for years, so when I saw a walker in a high kill shelter, I adopted her. How did you get your dog to recall to you? No matter what I try, my walker won’t recall with any consistency. She is a family dog, never hunted that I know of. It’s just weird to me, because dads coonies were always almost around him off leash, and would only stray away when he sent them out to hunt.

[@audreyw.]

My female rescue TWC will recall but if she gets on a scent and starts working she can't listen, it's like she's deaf. Leash only unless she's in a safe place to run free. We are saving for a GPS collar!

[@springfield03sniper]

@@audreyw. will she eventually work her way back to you if you stay in one place?

[@audreyw.]

@@springfield03sniper yes, eventally but if she kept seeing game she would keep working, nothing is more important to these dogs! We live in Nevada and she loves to run through the sage brush and Chase jack rabbits. Cant let her do it in summer though we have rattlesnakes.

[@springfield03sniper]

@@audreyw. yeah, I have heard that with these dogs when they aren't trained to hunt, the best thing to do is stay still and not chase them. If you chase them they think you are coming with them, and will range farther out.

[@freebird889]

He doesn't come back when he's on a scene near home, but if we are in unfamiliar territory then he stays close with constant instruction. He goes so night chasing things and then he comes home every day. I was nervous at first when he took off, but sure enough he came home. I guess he just loves me that much. I keep him on leash when we are in town or at a park because he wants to smell everything and chase other dogs. Once he was off leash on a trail near the Colorado River and he saw some cows across the river in a pasture. Jax ran down the embankment and started swimming across the Colorado and he doesn't even like to swim. I had to strip down real quick and hop in after him because he can't swim very well and I knew if he got across it would have been super hard to get him back.

And yes Jax has rid with me in the bus. He loves to go places with me and he was on his first plane ride last October when we flew to Alaska and drove all the way back to Texas through Canada.
