some dogs can be started at 6 months old, but most of the time it is best to start them at 8- 12 months old I think. 4 months is too early. At this point I would just focus on basic obedience, getting your dog to come when called, socialize around other dogs, leash training, etc.
I am working with a couple redbones that just turned a year. The male was ready at 11 months and is tracking treeing already one month later. The female littermate is starting slower(will tree a cage coon but not showing much in the timber), but every dog matures different.
I got ya, makes sense too.
I will keep work on all the other stuff and start back up with a coon in a couple months.
Thanks
