Coonhound Puppy Uses ‘Big Voice’ To Yell at Grandpa Just Like a Real Kid

Puppies have the same kind of relationship with their grandparents that human kids do. They take advantage of them whenever possible, whether that be to sneak a treat before dinner, get them to open up their pocketbooks (for more treats), or to get them to play even when they're tired.

One Coonhound was having the time of his life playing with his grandpa when he stopped playing, for some reason. The sweet dog was simply not having it, and on Tuesday, July 9th, his mom posted the evidence:

Jeter the Redbone Coonhound wants nothing more than to play. How could anyone deny his sweet little face or, more importantly, his epic Hound bark?

Jeter is still just a puppy, and puppies want to do nothing but play for the first year they're alive. They've got a lot of pent-up energy, so you can bet you'll find them overtired with a case of the zoomies or passing out with their favorite toy still in their mouth. Jeter is no different: he and his grandpa were playing for a while, but he wasn't ready to call it quits.

Beyond this one incident, Jeter is known for causing lots of trouble. He may be a baby, but he's discovered his big bark to help get him what he wants. Just a few days before this, a video of his got over a million views: he was standing on the beach and did not like when the water splashed his ankle.

How Do Coonhounds Like to Play?

There are a few different types of Coonhounds, mostly varying by color and size, but they all have one thing in common: they love to play, and they're scent hounds. They're hunting companions , which is why their bark is so loud. They have to communicate with other dogs and their handlers out in the field!

Not all Coonhounds are used for hunting these days, though. They generally make good family dogs: they bond fiercely to their humans and, as long as they're trained and exercised properly, are great with kids and other dogs. If you don't hunt with your Coonhound, there are lots of exercises you can do with them:

1. Scenting exercises where they have to sniff out something hidden around the yard.
2. Frisbee or fetch.
3. Hiking in unfamiliar places where there are lots of new smells.
4. Taking them to dog parks.

Redbone Coonhounds , like all Hound breeds, bark. They bark a lot, and if you don't train them properly, it can become a legitimate problem. However, obviously, even the sweetest, most well-trained Coonhounds in the world are going to throw a fit when grandpa pays attention to something else!
