We have adopted a 2 1/2 male Treeing Walker Coonhound, our first for this breed. He wakes us almost every night between 3 and 4 am to go outside and once outside he is on the hunt for prey (rats love our yard because we have a pool and they are looking for water.....sounds gross I know) It takes an average 20 minutes to get him back inside. Nothing seems to break his concentration once he is on the scent. I am losing sleep and getting frustrated!!! Any suggestions on getting him off the scent of prey? He does not respond to the command, "come" and is very stubborn.
