Yes, coonhounds have quite demanding exercise needs. As a hunting breed, they require plenty of exercise. Daily, a 20 to 30 minute walk is likely to suffice, however, you should exercise them more intensely throughout the week. When given plenty of exercise they will be happy to cuddle up and sleep next to you, however, if they are not exercised enough they are likely to become bored and they may express these feelings of boredom through destructive behavior. Aside from land based exercise, many coonhounds also enjoy swimming hence why they are considered to be the perfect breed for active families who enjoy participating in physical activity.
