As a hunter, the American foxhound is impeccable, but getting obedience from him can be quite difficult. Showing independence, he can turn a deaf ear to the team. The hunting instincts of this dog are in the blood, therefore, it is recommended to use a leash during a walk – the dog can be carried away by an extraneous smell at any time, and he will go in search of the source, forgetting about what is happening around.
