Are American Foxhounds easy to train?

No, American Foxhounds aren’t particularly easy to train, which is a common characteristic of scent hounds, who can be easily distracted by smells and are quite independent-minded. 

However, t raining any dog takes substantial time and effort, regardless of breed. American Foxhounds, like many other breeds, respond well to positive reinforcement, and using rewards such as treats and toys can motivate them to learn and stay engaged.

Incorporating scent games and activities into an American Foxhound's training can also be highly effective. Given their exceptional sense of smell, American Foxhounds enjoy and excel at sniffing-related tasks. Engaging them in activities that utilize their snoot, such as scent trails or hide-and-seek games, can make training more enjoyable and productive for them.
