They are independent and will follow a scent to all abandon.

Have a vet check the puppy for any health issues before finalizing your choice. Since Beagles are bred to stick together in packs, owners often consider adopting a pair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beagle puppy training should start when you bring your new puppy home and the first order of business is socialization. Continue this until 10 weeks of age to avoid aggression problems later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Beagle_Puppy_Training\"><\/span>Beagle Puppy Training<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After socialization, the next step is housetraining your Beagle puppy. Since Beagles are a bit stubborn, this may take a little longer than \u201cnormal.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/beagle-crate-training\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Crate training<\/a> may be helpful and while you are housebreaking your puppy, you should plan to be at home as much as possible. Be patient during this time and before you know it, your pup will be taking his \u201cbusiness\u201d outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After housebreaking and socialization, you\u2019ll need to establish the pack pecking order with your Beagle. You need to firmly let the puppy know that you are in charge \u2013 the alpha dog leader. Puppies often try to test their place in the pack by biting or nipping. Giving him a chew toy and letting out a yelp or clear whining sound if he bites will help him understand that it hurts and is off-limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pecking order includes physical boundaries. Keep your puppy off of the furniture and bed and continue to use the crate \u2013 for longer stretches now that your dog is housebroken \u2013 to help him understand his place in the pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/beagle-puppy-training\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Beagle puppy<\/a> training should progress to teaching obedience during the next 3 to 6 months. Teach basic commands like lay down, sit, stay, and come. Another useful command can be \u201cplace,\u201d in which your pup retreats to a designated spot to lay down (possibly the crate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f3ffcf\"><strong>Find The Best Solution To Training Your Beagle Puppy\u2026<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kingdomofpets.com\/dog-training-mastery\/?aff=bobbie03&amp;type=nohop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Click Here For Your Comprehensive Guide<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your pup will also need to learn to wait inside when you leave the house. Being a confident alpha leader here will help your puppy avoid <a href=\"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/beagle-separation-anxiety\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">separation anxiety<\/a> \u2013 if you aren\u2019t worried that you\u2019ll be back, neither will he.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leash manners are an important part of Beagle puppy training. You\u2019ll need to teach him not to pull by maintaining a state of calm while he walks. Since your <a href=\"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/beagle-dog-breed-facts-information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Beagle<\/a> is a scent hound, he\u2019ll want to keep his nose planted to the ground as you walk. You can teach him to focus more on you by offering a treat (especially a nice, \u201csmelly\u201d one) as you crouch periodically and get him to look you in the eye. After a while, he\u2019ll enjoy looking up and making eye contact with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beagle puppy training will be challenging, but your intelligent dog will learn quickly if you make it fun. Keep training sessions short, since Beagles have a short attention span and may get bored if you overdo it. At first, his stubbornness may make it seem like you aren\u2019t making progress, but be patient and you\u2019ll soon reap the rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Beagle_Puppy_Training_to_Protect_Your_Dog\"><\/span>Using Beagle Puppy Training to Protect Your Dog<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beagles are curious and will follow their noses if left to do so. You\u2019ll need to teach your dog not to chase cars and to stay away from the street (establish boundaries). Since the urge to follow a scent is so strong, you should always keep your Beagle on a leash when he\u2019s not in a secure area. Eventually, if you work on recall commands, you may get to the point where he can be off the leash, but keep in mind that the tracking instinct will always be a higher risk with Beagles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beagle puppy training is a little more challenging than some other breeds, but if done properly, you\u2019ll have one of the friendliest and loyal dogs and one that is eager to please. Just make the rules clear and make sure that your pup consistently follows them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":172,"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":[12],"tags":[17,13],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/beagle-puppy-e1598545918570.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171"}],"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=171"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
