I have Stonewall, a Bluetick mix, he's sort of runty about 80 pounds, and we live in a house. He realized that school kids walk by all day. We live on a major walk way to a Catholic school, a public middle school and an elementary. He does not bawl at the kids, unless he smells somebody odd. He and Missy were wild adult and almost adult when we got them from a rural pound. They didn't know nothing, and I mean nothing.
I hate using crates and Stonewall began sleeping with me on the first night. Missy soon joined us. They like having a den of their own-which a roomy crate with a soft dog bed is. It's easier to work with a puppy than an adult or almost adult. Blueticks are very nosey and want to see what's going on. In the first week, I found out that Irish Celtic music helped them cope. Stonewall learned to turn music on in our den. They've learned not to roust me and howl when a wind storm or rain hit in the middle of the night. They learned that it didn't do any good to stand and bawl by the leashes when they wanted to go for a walk. They've learned to sit still when I put on their walking collars. Remember to vary the route to the dog park so they don't get bored. Here, the dogs have to be off leash in a park, so make sure you have good behavior. Also Blueticks are very agile. You might want to do agility training and competition.
There's a dog named Danny that has been returned to the local hound rescue 3X, because he went into apartments with young people that lived near dog parks. I need to bathe and let my hounds take me for a walk.
