The Treeing Walker, like many other types of coonhounds, is a high-energy breed that loves lengthy runs. Because of their high levels of stamina, dogs of this breed make excellent jogging and trekking companions. While it's true that some coonhounds are perfectly fine with a sedentary lifestyle, the vast majority thrive on regular exercise.

Exercising their bodies and minds via activities like running around the yard, chasing a ball, and interacting with their human and canine companions is essential. To prevent them from following an attractive smell on walks and treks, it is essential to keep Treeing Walkers on a leash because of their strong prey drive.

As a result of their background as hunting dogs, bluetick coonhounds are quite active and robust. They need to engage in regular physical exercise to help them expend their boundless amounts of energy.

Daily activity should consist of at least one to two hours of walking, jogging, hiking, or playing. Dog activities, such as tracking and agility, provide mental and physical stimulation for the dog while also strengthening the owner-dog relationship.

Keep your coonhound on a leash or in a fenced-in area whenever you take it for a walk. Once they smell anything, it's quite difficult to stop them from following it, even if it takes them far from where they started. Even in gated locations, coonhounds may be expert escape artists, so they need to be watched carefully.

The Bluetick Coonhound is a high-energy breed that seldom sleeps unless it has been out running and playing for quite some time. They are a high-energy breed that was originally developed for hunting and need regular exercise to be healthy and happy.

Fortunately, they have a wide range of interests and like engaging in social play with their owners or other dogs in a safe yard or while walking on a leash. The Bluetick Coonhound is also a champion hunter, field trial competitor, agility competitor, and tracker.

Bluetick Coonhounds, being high-energy dogs, need moderate to vigorous exercise. They should exercise for at least an hour every day to keep their bodies in shape. While it's nice that these dogs love the wide outdoors, their owners must train them to come when called.
