Coonhounds are good-natured, energetic, and enjoy sniffing and exploring. They're usually suspicious of strangers and sometimes aggressive with other dogs. Coonhounds will howl if they're left alone. Coonhounds are hounds dogs. Because they are great at sniffing and exploring, hounds were originally used to trail rabbits, foxes, and other small mammals. Most hounds are good-natured dogs that make loving companions if trained properly. Hounds are sometimes stubborn, though, so training may take a while. Most hounds need rigorous physical exercise, so daily walks and runs are a must. Never let a hound off a leash unless it is in an enclosed area, because it will take off if it picks up a scent. Hounds are barkers and howlers, and they are sometimes hard to housebreak.
