Step 1
Get your beagle puppy tagged with a microchip. Beagles have a penchant for escaping their yards if not fenced in properly. Keep an eye on your beagle puppy to make sure he doesn't dig underneath the fence.
-
Step 2
Choose a potty area outside for the puppy before bringing her inside your home. As soon as she squats, praise her and bring her inside. Whenever you see the puppy walking in circles sniffing, she's just about to urinate or defecate. Beagle puppies catch onto the idea in anywhere from a few days to a few months.
-
Step 3
Use positive reinforcement and offer food as a reward. Determine the beagle's favorite treat, and reward him if he comes when you call. Training sessions shouldn't be more than a few minutes long.
-
Step 4
Exercise your beagle puppy every day. Since beagles were bred to run with fox hunters, they need exercise to keep from putting on weight and stay focused during training sessions. According to the ASPCA, beagles need at least one brisk 30 minute walk a day, plus an opportunity to run around in the yard. A tired beagle is less prone to make mischief.
-
Step 5
Expose your beagle puppy to as many environments and factors as possible before they are 14 weeks old. Puppies are most impressionable between the ages of 8 and 14 weeks. Take the puppy to the vet, for a car ride, visiting friends, give him a bath, turn on a vacuum cleaner--anything you can think of.
