I need advice about hound dogs

I have one he's 13 months old. Hes a real love but if he gets wind of anything a squirrel a cat etc. I have trouble getting his attention. He is big and fast. Hes calmed down a bit in the last month or so. My only advice is tire your dog out they need to run a lot of exercise. At least mine does or he's a big pita once inside. If he's had enough exercise he's a big dopey love and likes to snuggle.
