They are young, not all dogs click at that age. You need to run a few in the daytime and knock a couple out to them (in coon season of course) and maybe hang one in a tree kinda low so they can see it to get them to look up. The important part is locating the dogs have to locate before they can tree. Alot of dogs will tree good, not alot locate good. Locating to me is very important especially if you plan to you run fox and cat. Anyways they should click if you can get em some experience in the daytime knock a few out and let them run them again and again. THey will tree if they got it. You can tree just as many coon in the daytime as night if you know what you are doing and where to look or cast the dogs. Good luck. DC

Try hunting just one at a time you get three young dogs together and they usually dont want to focus they are to worried what the other one is doing and a dog needs to be focused to learn to locate and tree.. Andy

Some good advice here,but I disagree strongly on one bit.I make my living hunting and tuning up coondogs.Please don't jump anything out to a young dog to run again.This usually causes the same problem you are trying to fix.You have two bloodlines there that are known track dogs so you need to make treeing fun and also make it that once they locate you are not gonna be happy if they leave.Daytime hunting will make it alot easier for you to see what they are doing and be able to get them caught up and put back on the tree they left.Pet them up for showing interest on the tree and scold them for being off.Shooting some out and hanging it back up can be a good tool as can having an old dog with them.Tie them up and shoot the coon out to the old dog and let them watch the old dog get the reward while they get none.

some very good advice daytime hunting the only thing that i would add is if you have a tri tronic use it, if they leave the tree and if there use to the collar already use your tone botton dogs are way smarter then most people give them credit for,an older dog that stays treed is great, i won't knock them out and let them run again either could teach them young dogs to pull off a tree, and a very important thing to do is tie them at the tree and let one dog tree off the chain make it fun for them, also to many young dogs at once. just mop

just there way of telling you to knock that critter out of the tree so they can chase it again.
