Absolutely yes, but with one big caveat when it comes to training. They are gentle, loving souls that can potentially be easy to train if sessions are kept short (a maximum of 10 minutes) and fun. Redbones tend to learn something and stick with it, which is why a first-time dog owner needs to avoid teaching the dog bad habits that it may never be able to unlearn. It's advisable for novice dog owners to get a Redbone professional basic dog training quickly after bringing it home.
