Actually, Red Foxes are poor tree climbers and rarely do climb trees. Grey Foxes, on the other hand, are excellent climbers.

∙ 14y agoYes, Gray Foxes can usually climb trees. It's not really natural instinct though. They have to be taght. It's a little llike passed down generation tricks. However most red foxes can not. The only red foxes that can climb trees are some of the ones that live around gray foxes. I suppose in a sense the grays taught the reds how to climb. Foxes aren't as good of climbers as most cats and squirrels, etc., but they can climb fairly well. Actually foxes are the only canids with true climbing ability, except the raccoon dog, which isn't native to North America, atleast I dont think so. Gray foxes and some red foxes can climb.

There are a few individuals of many breeds that can climb trees, but as a whole most dogs cannot. Exceptions to this rule include the Catahoula Leopard Dog, the Tree Walking Coonhound, Jack Russell Terrier, and the New Guinea Singing Dog. Most dogs cannot get a good grip on tree bark in order to dig their claws into it, so people sometimes train their pets to get a running start and jump onto trees. Grey foxes, although not technically dog, can also climb trees.
