Keep in the freezer when not playing with her, lasts a bit longer that way, once the coon hide triggers "it's play time" with her start doing some blind drags and working with her at the tree. It's naturaly in their blood to trail and tree you just have to develop it. Then once she learns coons are good, you start introducing other scents such as deer rabit and coyote and teach that these aren't good. I miss having hounds some days, but it is alot more peaceful around here with out the pack howling out back all day and night.

Its REAL easy to live trap coons and get some great training aids.....
