beagle is aggressive<\/a> after reaching 14 months of age (sexual maturity), especially if the dog has been neutered or spayed, you must address the problem immediately. Have you made sure you are the alpha leader? If you are having trouble, an obedience class is a must.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBe careful not to reward aggressive behavior, especially if your dog is scared. This will only reinforce bad behavior and make it harder to correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Part of being the alpha leader is to train your beagle to respond to your commands. Be firm and consistent. You\u2019ll also need to control your dog\u2019s boundaries, such as feeding and walking schedules. If you are not taking the leadership role in your home, your dog will tend to become more aggressive over time with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your beagle shows signs of being defensive-aggressive, a fearful situation could cause him to lash out at someone without warning. This may be due to improper socialization. Be sure to keep the dog away from small children, who may appear more threatening to your dog. This situation will require professional help from a qualified trainer to bring your dog back into a stable social condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aggressive beagle behavior can be a huge problem, but it can be brought under control \u2013 even in older dogs. If the problem gets to the point of violence, take responsibility to get professional help before someone gets hurt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":168,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[16,8],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/beagle-behavior.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=165"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/168"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
