I have a 5 1/2 month old red bone hound and i want to train her to be a coon hunting dog. i need to know if she is ready to be trained and if anyone knows a good website that explains how i should train her and what i will need.

I love coonhounds. I would guess that would be a good time to start, many people I knew growing up would start training early. I'm not sure how they did it, however. I would try this site:http://www.coonhounds.com/index.html

She old enough i believe if the dog can walk it can be trained just take it slow be patient and practice with the dog as much as possible.

I start training dogs as soon as I can if I could I would start at 3 weeks of age. Now I am not talking about training to hunt but puppies are sponges and can learn incredible amounts of things and the more they learn the faster they learn new things. Too bad you missed all the early training time.
