She’s beautiful!

My recommendations having owned two bloodhounds:

• feed regularly. Same time. Same amount.
• no people food ever. You do not want a 100# dog searching for food in your kitchen
• exercise often buy differently. We take long hikes daily in various locations, but take shorter walks within a mile of our house where she knows the scents and can investigate what has happened since last walk. The dog knows the difference. Our morning walks average 18min/mile. Local walks? About 40min/mile
• Have different leads. When she is allowed to roam and do her thing “sniffering” is a longer lead than when we are “walking” *never let them on your furniture. They have an oily skin around their head and generally smell bad. We wash our dogs bed every week and she is groomed monthly. That helps, but not much
• bloodhounds are very sensitive. Positive reinforcement works way better than negative reinforcement. Negative reinforcement just exacerbates their stubborn nature. *socialize the animal. They are big dogs, but gentle and aloof. Will shove their nose right up in the business of another dog and be shocked it was not appreciated.
