I Did This

Summary: I think one of the reasons Beagles are so popular is because they are some of the cutest puppies. Big eyes, tail wagging, full of happiness--they seem to make the perfect family pet--but being hunting dogs, they are easily distracted and ready to take off through the yard at any given moment. It can be difficult to get your Beagle's attention when you are outside. Here are some training tips for your Beagle.

Instructions

Step 1

Give your Beagle plenty of exercise such as hiking, walking or swimming. A Beagle that is full of energy can wreak havoc inside the household. Chewing, digging and destructive behavior can result from a Beagle having too much pent-up energy.
Step 2

I would strongly recommend getting a fence or an underground electronic fence. Beagles love to roam; the last thing you want to happen is your Beagle getting lost, injured or worse.
Step 3

Establish yourself as the leader. Beagles need leadership and structure. When you establish leadership your Beagle will feel more secure and listen to your commands much better.
Step 4

Start training early; you can start as young as 8 weeks old. Teach sit, down, stand, stay, come and heel. Spend time working on come. This is an extremely important command for your Beagle to learn.
