Beagle Training - 5 Effective Tips

It's almost impossible not to fall in love with beagles that have big floppy ears, lovely squashy expression and intelligent dark eyes. With their real zest for life, wonderful gentle nature and affectionate characters, they can become the perfect family pets. As they have hunting instincts with powerful sense of smell, they easily get distracted with the slight smell of any critter. Thus, beagle training can be a tough task if you don't train them within fenced areas or indoors.




Here are 5 effective tips for beagle training:




1. Just like the proverb, "Early bird catches the worm", you should train your beagle as early as possible to get the best results. Though they are very intelligent dogs, they can bother you sometime by ignoring your commands and doing whatever they like. So, start your training from the first day you bring them home. If you plan to train them later, then it might be more difficult at the time when they have already picked up some wicked and nasty behaviors.




2. Don't ever implement any negative ways for training your beagle. Negative ways can bring destructive consequences which can be very hard to tackle with. So, use positive reinforcements as a part of beagle training. They respond well to the training that is based on positive approach. The treats that you provide for their good behaviors can motivate them to instill that habit in them permanently.




3. If you have problem with potty training your beagle, then use crates. Crates are in fact, a den for them where they will never mess up. With this idea, you can use crates for the purpose of solving out the problem of potty. Potty training can also be an easy task if your stick to proven schedule, regulation and confinement.




4. Leash training plays a significant role in the process of beagle training. While taking your beagle outdoors, you can ensure the safety of your beagle if you train them to walk nicely on the leash. For leash training, using harness would be the best as they cannot slip out of it like on a leash. Also, harness is comfy around their neck and it's good for daily use as well.




5. Teaching "Come" command to your beagle can help you in different way. For instance, while roaming with your beagle outside, you can tell them to come back with "Come" command when they try to run after something, following their nose. Also, you can save them from accidents when they go to some risky areas by the use of this same command.

Beagle Dog - Dog Breeds - facts You Should Know Before Owning

In this article we will firstly look at the simple stats of this great breed, then move on to an in-depth look at whether you will be suited to this dog.

Breed group: Hounds

Weight: 18-30 lbs

Height: 13 inches

Overview

Beagle is very popular as scent hounds because they have lots of energy, willingness - and possesses a sweet nature. It is believed that this breed has its origin in England, where it was developed as a cross between the Harrier and other hounds in England. Beagles have been used packs, alone, and in pairs. These dogs were used for the hunting of hare, pheasants and quails. This breed also makes excellent narcotics detection dogs, and wonderful family companion dogs. Due to the fact that these dogs are uniform in size and also small, they are frequently used for medical trials.

Temperament

This breed is very intelligent and very cheerful. The Beagle is on of the most animated dog breeds. They are calm, energetic, curious and sweet, and will attach itself to anyone who gives them attention and affection. The Beagle loves to socialise, and do very well in families that have small children. Beagles will also get along well with other dogs, but should not be left alone with other animals. These dogs will see cats and other small animals as prey, and they will probably not get along well with these animals. Being very strong-minded and active, Beagles might require extra training to ensure that they learn what suitable behaviour is. This breed will not do well when left alone for extended periods, as this might lead to destructive behaviour.

Care

This breed should be brushed on a daily basis to get rid of any loose or dead hair. It is not necessary for these dogs to be bathed very often, and wiping them down with a damp cloth should be sufficient. Also ensure that the ears of these dogs are cleaned on a regular basis, as the Beagle is likely to suffer from painful ears or ear infections. The nails of these dogs should also be trimmed often. These dogs are average shedding dogs, and this can be controlled if they are combed on a regular basis.

Training

Beagles should be trained to control their bark, but this might be more difficult for younger dogs. These dogs have an inborn nature to go after their noses, and will travel very far if they are let off their leash. Beagles should be kept in an area that is fenced in. In general, Beagles are very intelligent and quick to learn. They will get used to their environment very quickly, and will learn new behaviours easily. Beagles should be socialised from an early age onwards, and should not be left alone for lengthy periods. If Beagles are trained correctly, they will listen well. If not, they might ignore the commands of their owners. It is important to train these dogs in a consistent and firm manner in order for the best results to be achieved.

Health problems

Beagles are tough dogs that are fairly healthy, but they may go through some unhealthy periods from time to time. Some conditions that potential owner should be aware of is hip dysplasia, achondroplasia, back problems, eye anomaly, epilepsy and heart disease.

Beagle Training - How To Stop Your Beagle From Leash Pulling For Good!



Beagles pull on their leash as a matter of instinct. As hunting animals, they live for the chase so your Beagle will often pull because he is in pursuit of something (i.e. your neighbor's cat, a chipmunk, or even another Beagle). There are other reasons that are just as common though. It's possible that he is overly excited about his daily exercise session. It is also possible that he sees himself as the Alpha dog in your family. If this is the case, he regards you as the one who is being disobediently slow!




The traditional training method




Regardless of the reason, the traditional method of addressing the issue of pulling on the leash is more or less the same. It requires a series of simple repeated interventions. Here's the scenario:




Your Beagle pulls on the leash...You stop...You issue a sharp command such as "No!"...At the same moment give a quick tug on the leash...Let the leash go slack...Start walking again...Repeat as necessary.




If you give enough repetition to this technique it will eventually work. Outdated methods such as the use of choke chains and collars are totally unnecessary.




Head and harness collars




Another innovative training technique for Beagle owners who are tired of their Beagles yanking them around by the leash are head and harness collars. There are several varieties of this type of device with the Halti Training Head Collar being the best known. Rather than the traditional dog collar that goes around the neck, the Halti consists of a nylon nose strap and neck strap. You attach the leash to a ring at the end of short strap under the dog's chin.




The two straps each have a specific function. The nose strap replicates the practice of showing pack dominance between two animals. One Beagle in the pack will firmly take another's muzzle into his own in an act of dominance.




The neck strap works differently and is intended to calm the Beagle my mimicking the practice of his mother grasping him by the back of the neck.




Beagles usually respond to an applied force by exerting an opposing force, which is why they often respond to a backwards pull of the leash with more pulling! The Halti is designed to reverse this behavior. The strap applies pressure to the back of the neck instead of the front of the throat and arrests any forward movement when that force is exerted. Also, in a fashion similar to a horse's bridle you control the head of the Beagle. It is said that if you control the head, you control the beast.




Solutions that work




Regardless of which of these two training methods you choose, you will have success. It is a common myth that Beagles are too stubborn to be leash trained. That is absolutely incorrect. With patience and consistency your Beagle will be a joy to walk!

Which dog breed Beagle or Cavalier King Charles Spaniel?

I'm getting a dog and i have the choice of 2 breeds either a Beagle or a cavalier king charles spaniel which one help. I want a dog that is willing to run around and go for walks and play but is willing to stay alone by himself for some time. i also want a dog that is easy to train and intelligent I like the beagle but i want to know is it a handful. Please help!!!


You should research both breeds better before making your choice. Don't just get a breed of dog just because it's available to you.

Beagles are energetic and intelligent hunting dogs. They can be loud and will get into trouble if you don't keep his mind occuppied.

Cavaliers are generally sweet-natured dogs that are well suited to apartment living. They don't require as much exercise as Beagles, but require more grooming.
