Billy pretty much just used a coon hide as a practice tool and dragged it throughout a forest to help them learn the scent of a coon, and how tricky hunting can be. He also waded in the river with the coon hide so the dogs could get used to having to capture a coon even in the water.

Billy trained the dogs to hunt raccoons by taking them out Into the Woods regularly and exposing them to the scent of raccoons. He would reward the dogs with treats or praise whenever they successfully tracked or treed a raccoon. Over time, the dogs learned to associate the scent of raccoons with positive reinforcement, leading to successful hunting behavior.
