Raising A Beagle Pup
It is exciting to bring home your beagle pup for the first time and watch it run around and start to interact with the different members of your family and possibly even the other pets in your house as well. Beagle puppies are great family pets and while they are a lot of fun to have around you have to remember that they are counting on your for their care. So make sure you get them to the vet regularly and never assume something is not worthy of a call to the vet either.
When you are raising your beagle pup you need to look at it like a fast developing human baby. You cannot expect a one-year-old human baby to use a computer so you should not have unrealistic expectations for your beagle pup either. Do some research and find out what to expect at each stage of your beagle pup’s development so you know what your puppy’s limitations are.
If you are caging your beagle pup to try and housebreak it and the process is not working then there is another way that may do the trick. Set aside a 48-hour period where you and someone else can take the dog out every hour on the hour and take it to the spot where you want it to do its business. Reinforce to the puppy that this outside spot is where to do these things and that the inside is not a good place. If this alternative does not work contact your vet.
Beagle pups love to be loud and obnoxious but this is always considered to be bad behavior and needs to be stopped immediately. One effective way of doing this is if your dog starts barking you point at it and tell it to stop with simple one word commands like “No” or “Stop.” Never hit your dog or run towards it in anger as it will cower from you or run and never learn to stop the bad behavior.
It is important to patiently work with your beagle pup on its behavioral issues when it still is a pup. If you take the time and patience to work with them when they are young they will keep those skills when they get older.
If you properly teach your beagle pup how to walk on a leash when it is young it will keep that skill for the rest of its life and make your life a lot easier.
Do not wait to address beagle pup behavioral problems and do not assume that their issues will work themselves out over time, as many issues will not.
Remember that when they are puppies they are a clean slate than is waiting to be filled, if you wait until they are too old to correctly address their behavioral issues then you will be spending the rest of your beagle’s life constantly trying to back track in its behavioral training.
