See if you can find a local club.It's more fun with other people. She can start now. It's best if you start them with other dogs. You can also find out what your laws are. Some states regulate coon hunting.How old does a coon hunting dog need to be before you start training them?

Go here it is free and you can start your dog as early as 4 months depending on his/her size i have a redbone and she is to small to start 4 months old need to get your dog used to a collar and lead before taking them hunting

looking forword to your good news!
I love coonhounds. I would guess that would be a good time to start, many people I knew growing up would start training early. I'm not sure how they did it, however.





I would try this site:


http://www.coonhounds.com/index.html
I start training dogs as soon as I can if I could I would start at 3 weeks of age. Now I am not talking about training to hunt but puppies are sponges and can learn incredible amounts of things and the more they learn the faster they learn new things. Too bad you missed all the early training time.
She old enough i believe if the dog can walk it can be trained just take it slow be patient and practice with the dog as much as possible.
Join a club and work with a trainer..
It should have been introduced to quarry by now!!
