Training Your BeagleYour ever present companion and best friend, your beagle won't be a friend to anyone if he isn't obedient.Here are guidelines to consider when trying to train your beagle. Stop Bad Behavior Make sure your puppy has a release for his chewing urges. Also, you can start barking loudly when your beagle uses you as a chew toy. Once you yelp, fold your arms and give the cold shoulder to your pup for at least 10 minutes. This will simulate the response one dog would have to another that plays too rough. But based on your puppy's personality, your pup may not act the way you expect, like biting more. When this happens, take a less passive technique. Direct and Correct Let your dog know what the behavior should be. Giving the signal to your beagle without readjusting him if he performed it the wrong way is bad practice. Don't confuse your dog. Training Is best For Puppies It is ideal to train beagle's as young as probable. Timing means that you need to keep in mind the age of the beagle when deciding the approach to use. It's more difficult to train an older dog. House Breaking The Beagle Giving your beagle a treat when he is good will give him a reason to repeat the positive behavior. When house breaking your puppy, it's best to use a reward based approach. Repetitive Sessions Substantial repetitions will provide your beagle ample time to understand the command. It's important to be consistent. Seeing if he can do it by himself without your help will indicate if your persistance has paid off. 3 successful times in a row is a fine gauge in defining if it's just a fluke or if your pet has in effect understood the drill. Stopping him from digging Sometimes, dogs eat the dirt (otherwise known as pica) as a way to supplement their diet. Beagle's, as social creatures, may turn to bad behaviors such as digging if they are alone. A lack of nutrients might also cause them to dig. Spending a good amount time with your dog and taking care of his diet can keep his digging under control. Be More Stubborn Than your pet The relationship with you and your beagle should always be this way: you as the alpha dog (authoritative) and the dog as the submissive being. If he tries to get the upper hand by growling or snapping, don't let him know you are nervous. Don't allow the dog to not finish the command. Not completing the activity will teach your pet to only hold out long enough for you to cave in to his misbehavior.
