For these reasons, training a beagle is not easy, but it can still be done effectively if you have patience and the right tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though beagles are cute and cuddly, especially as puppies, it is important to remember they are still dogs. Don\u2019t get the idea in your head that your loveable Beagle is like a human being, because they aren\u2019t. Going down this path is the cause of many a dog owner&#8217;s problems, so it\u2019s best to avoid it right upfront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Beagle will also not train himself. If you neglect training him, you risk all kinds of problems that will only get worse with age. These range from boredom-related problems, like digging or howling, to more serious problems, like aggression and biting. Not training your Beagle properly will put him and others at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fundamentals_of_Beagle_Training\"><\/span>Fundamentals of Beagle Training?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To make training a Beagle more effective and easier, be sure you start when they\u2019re young. You\u2019ll want to keep them occupied so they don\u2019t get into mischief and two of the best ways to do this are with the training itself and some moderate exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beagles don\u2019t need to be run to exhaustion to get adequate exercise, but they should be walked daily and this is best done before your training. Burning off some energy will help them to focus a bit better, which can be a problem for Beagles. Plan your training in advance, so your dog doesn\u2019t get bored while you figure out what to do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f3ffcf\"><strong>Learn What Works And Why\u2026<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kingdomofpets.com\/dogobediencetraining\/?aff=bobbie03&amp;type=beagle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Click Here For Expert Tips On Training Your Beagle!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Basics<\/strong>: Start with some fundamentals, like sit, stay or come. These should include a healthy dose of boundaries, for example training your Beagle to \u201cstay\u201d will help him understand that he needs to obey you, the alpha leader.<\/li><li><strong>Short Sessions<\/strong>: Beagles have a short attention span, so limit your training sessions to about 10 minutes each. If you let your dog get bored, it will be harder to maintain your place as the leader and he won\u2019t learn much.<\/li><li><strong>Rewards<\/strong>: You want to use mainly positive reinforcement when training a Beagle. Things like treats (which they love!) and petting with praise should be your main tools. Avoid too much punishment for bad behavior. This can lead to aggressive behavior in the future.<\/li><li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.livestocking.net\/beagle\/training-beagles\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Clicker Training<\/a><\/strong>: Beagles usually respond well to clicker training. They like to please and this will often make training quicker and easier for both you and your dog.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Training a Beagle requires time, effort and patience. Invest these in your dog and you\u2019ll reap the benefits for years to come. Don\u2019t take short cuts and don\u2019t give in if your dog tests your patience. If you lose control, it will just be that much harder to regain in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":181,"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":[13],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/training-beagle.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179"}],"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=179"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/181"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=179"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iluvmybeagle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
