Black and Tan Coonhounds have boundless energy and would happily be out and about the whole day long. As such a minimum of 60 to 80 minutes exercise a day is essential to keep these hounds happy, fit and healthy both in mind and body. Because they are so intelligent, they need to be given a tremendous amount of mental stimulation during the day too. If a dog gets bored, they can very quickly find ways of entertaining and amusing themselves which could result in them being destructive and noisy around the home. The old saying of a “tired dog being a good dog” is never truer than when describing a Coonhound.
