(We have an employee actively socializing him with other dogs on a daily basis)<br/>Training & Socialization Needs:<br/>Given his high energy and drive, Jack will need consistent socialization with other dogs. Proper training can help him learn appropriate play boundaries and reduce unwanted biting or chasing tendencies. He responds well to positive reinforcement and patience but requires ongoing social skills work.<br/>Focus & Attention:<br/>Coonhounds are easily distracted — their noses and instincts call them to explore or follow scents. This means training requires focus, patience, and consistency. They’ll need mental stimulation to keep their minds busy and prevent boredom, which can lead to undesirable behaviors.<br/>Size & Grooming:<br/>Jack is a young coonhound who will grow to a medium to large size, with a lean, athletic build. Regular grooming to keep his coat healthy and an active lifestyle to match his energy levels are important.<br/>Ideal Owner & Environment:<br/>A good fit for Jack is someone who is active, experienced with high-energy breeds, and willing to commit time to training and socializing. He needs space to run, an environment where his instincts can be directed appropriately, and a family that understands that patience and consistency are key to helping him grow into a well-mannered companion.<br/>Thinking Jack Could Be a Match?<br/>Come meet him at the Mississippi Animal Rescue League in Jackson, Mississippi, located at <br/>5221 Greenway Dr. Ext.
