Alot of it comes from breeding and age. Alot of young dogs can't handle the pressure. If it's a young dog keep hunting it with dogs that are not ill on the tree. From my experience it just takes alot of hunting and letting a young dog mature.
If you have a dog that trees good. But backs off the tree and keeps treeing when other dogs get there.You have a dog that would make a lot of guys happy...I now it makes me happy when mine do that..LOL..It just keeps them out of trouble on the tree.Because sooner or later if you have several dogs that like to get up on a tree running around it or jumping. Chances are down the road theres going to be some face barking and a fight or two...I had a buddy that trained all his dogs to Jump like crazy going Nuts up the tree.He even had one that did back flips believe it or not.LOL..I dont know how many times his dogs would knock my dogs down even hurting one pretty good.I had to quit hunting with him because of that...

In hunts will you be minutes points for them staying off about15-20 feet until every thing gets snapped or not and if you tell a judge what they will do when other dogs get there before you turn loose will they most of the time be ok with it or is it against the rules
15' to 20' is a ways. 5' to 10' would be just dandy. if it was a non hunting judge and the dog does not have its nose on the ground attempting to track it should not be minused and probly would not be. *but with a hunting judge your hunting against , well.

You may try tying the old dogs back and really work with pup and feed him a few coons would'nt hurt either. Is this dog loose or just treeing back? you may tie them all back but one old dog and when pup really shows it wants to be in their, lead him in and praise and tie close

Loose but i tie all dogs when I get to tree she will tree alone but with dogs treeing hard she will back off a little like maybe one has been ill on tree with her or something which I do not tolerate
I don't tolerate any aggresive dogs either it is something I pay close attention to. Sounds like you are doing all you can.Age and a few more coons is my bet, good luck
I wouldn't let it worry you too much. Some dogs just don't like to be crowded, if you competition hunt as long as she is within a few feet of the tree, and looking up treeing you will not get minused. I have yet to find any rule that states the dog has to be touching wood. Over the years I have owned several dogs that would sit at the bottom of the tree instead of raring up on the wood, and never had an issue at a competition hunt.
