[quote=Anonymous]We too have a foxhound, adopted during COVID. Adoption agency told us only that he was a hound mix but the subsequent dna test we did on him came back 100% foxhound. I admit the first few months were tough and we had a lot of the same issues you described, but after around 6 months things did get better. I think you have to understand that these dogs have not been domesticated and have spent their lives living in barns, so it definitely is an adjustment for the dog to move into a home. They are stubborn, but will obey commands if you persevere. We did not do any formal lessons or training but was able to get him to stop counter surfing and climbing up on the dinner table just by firmly telling him to ‘stop’. They are social and playful dogs so I would urge you to try and persevere with the dog park. Ours has 2 walks plus one trip to the dog park and that is just about enough to tire him out. 
In the beginning he would not join us on the sofa and was not a lap dog but eventually he warmed to us and now curls up with us every night. All in all we are very happy with him and he’s turning out to be a great pet, but it did take a while for him to reach this point. Hang in there.[/quote]
