this dog has treed coons with other dogs. will run track by his self. i have only took him by his self one time. he found a dead coon on the ground. he hunts good. all around good looking pup. he trees good and is starting to stay treed longer. my question is how do i make him finish tracks. it seems like after a longer track he gives up. but a short track he'll tree it. is this just his confidence. or just PUP. how can i fix this??

You cant really make a dog do anything they dont want to do..Your dog is just now about the age for hard hunting..If he can run and tree a coon alone. Its time to hunt the dog alone as much as possible.It can take 1-2 years of hunting 2-3 nights a week for the average hunter to finnish out the average dog....So that means most dogs are no where near finnished out until 2-3 years old. Sometimes older depending how much a dog is hunted...I know you see dogs that make night champion at a very young age..Most of those dogs are not finnished out..They just have not been hunted enough to make them a good solid dog. That looks the same just about every night you hunt them..
