How to Train your ENGLISH FOXHOUND

Training Your English Foxhound

Similar to the American variety but stouter, the English Foxhound is bred almost exclusively for pack hunting. They are highly energetic and stubborn.

Key Training Tips:

• Pack Dynamics: They thrive in the company of other dogs. Training them alongside an older, well-behaved dog is highly effective.
• Scent Distractions: Their nose will always override your commands. Use extremely high-value meat treats to maintain their attention outdoors.
• Massive Stamina: They were bred to run for hours. Providing intense daily exercise is the only way to ensure they are calm enough for obedience training.

They are amiable, gentle dogs that require an incredibly active owner or rural environment to truly thrive.
