THIS IS AWESOME! My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog. Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches. Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...

There are a lot of factors that can contribute to successful beagle training. One is the canine’s unique character, the other is that of the owner’s. In addition to the two, there’s still one more aspect that is of utmost importance to training - your dog’s health condition. Most pet owners are generally picky when selecting their potential pet, however, even pets of top quality can still develop or obtain health problems caused by numerous factors like lifestyle. These health problems, if not handled properly, can definitely delay or end beagle training.

Hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism, a common concern in dogs, is a condition in which there is not enough thyroid hormone produced. This disease, known to affect the metabolic function of all organ systems, can cause brittle or dry coat if not hair loss, skin infection, hyperpigmentation and other skin abnormality, cold intolerance, high blood cholesterol, obesity and muscle weakness among others.

Hip Dysplasia.
Canine hip dysplasia, a developmental orthopedic disease, could cause lameness in the back legs, difficulty rising, pain when using the hips, soreness after heavy exercise and reduced movement.

Eye Disorder.
The beagle can be affected by a variety of eye disorders including cherry eye, retinal atrophy, glaucoma and corneal dystrophy.

The issues affecting this breed may not appear to be too critical to ignore but if not given proper attention, will definitely impact your pet’s quality life. Health problems will not just delay dog training but will also make your pet miserable.

To rescue your beagle from wrath of the disease, you better equip yourself by knowing more about that specific disease. As soon as you sense that there is something wrong (scratching, hair loss, etc.), do your research to determine the causes, the implications and methods of treatment. Do not wait before it’s too late, the earlier you act, the better the chance of your pet to live a healthy and happy life.

We present below some dog behavior issues that all dog owners are bound to encounter. As you help your dog to learn that it can do better, it is inevitable that you yourself learn a thing or two. Have fun learning with your dog through beagle training!

Chewing

Never give a puppy a shoe to chew on; the worse that you could end up teaching the dog is all shows are meant for chewing, and there is no such thing as expensive shoes or cheap shoes. If you will have a puppy at home, expect that it will chew, since it will be teething. Chew toys will need to be available, and the puppy will keep up the nibbling until the puppy reaches one year of age.

Using Beagle training, if you see your dog chewing something it is not allowed to try out, say “give” and take it from the dog gently but firmly. Once the dog relinquishes the “bad” toy, be ready to give the “good” toy, and be quick to praise it with a hearty “good boy” the moment it has the right toy in its mouth. But if the dog resists giving up the bad toy, put your hand behind the dog’s head, and use your thumb and forefinger to gently apply some pressure on the back of the jaw where the upper and lower teeth meet. Eventually the dog will give up the toy. Again, pronounce the “give” command clearly, and compliment and praise the dog if it takes the intended chew toy.

Running Away

Puppies love playing chase, but for them it is even more fun if they are the ones being chased, preferably by their human. So there’s no practical time than puppyhood to teach a dog that if it runs, you do not chase. In case the puppy runs on ahead and refuses to come back, turn and walk a few paces away, then squat or sit down, ignoring the puppy. Soon the puppy will be back, asking for play and attention. If the puppy touches you, respond by patting the dog, cuddling or scratching it. As the puppy matures, teach it the “come” command by showing it a treat, then telling it to “Come!”

Biting

The sight of puppies chasing, biting and nipping each other is no cause for much concern, but it is otherwise if a puppy turns to nipping you!

In case of a biting puppy, the Beagle training solution is to imitate a puppy playmate’s reaction. If your puppy bites you (even if not painful), give the yip-noise that a hurt puppy would also give. Then turn away to ignore the puppy. If the puppy plays with good manners, always praise it.

In the case of a puppy that runs after you while nipping, do not avoid it. Instead, stop (a target that stops is not fun anymore for the puppy), say “No” to it, then ignore it. Other things you could do to dissuade puppy-biting is to encourage your puppy to occasionally take food from your mouth, starting from the moment it enters your home.

A caveat to the “yipping-noise” method: this works only if the puppy has been left long enough with its littermates to learn this lesson; a trusted and responsible breeder will, for example, refuse selling or separating puppies before 8 weeks of age.

Digging

There are specific and real reasons why a dog wants to burrow into your property. Some common reasons are to make a bed of cool earth to lie on, to chase a noisy bug (even a simple mole-cricket is enough reason to dig), to hide a toy, or to work away boredom. Also, some dogs dig near the fence in order to get out and roam, which is part of their instinct.

Some breeds like terriers cannot resist the urge to dig. This emphasizes the importance of considering first what instincts are dominant for a certain breed, before seriously selecting which to own.

To end, remember that a dog will learn much from the tone of your voice. Common sense, and also a healthy amount of praise, are good ways of communicating with a dog, but it is important to also get across to an older puppy what “No” means. A firm and severe “No” combined with a quick squirt of water will help a stubborn dog get in line. What’s more, it is painless to you and your dog.

As common to all hound dogs, beagles were bred to to give voice when they are out hunting. These vocalizations from dogs with beagle training were and are effective guides for informing the hunter across the distances of the dogs’ position, whether it is going after a prey, and whether the prey has been caught.

Beagles vocalize in three ways, and all vocalizations can be carried over long distances by dogs with Beagle training, helping steer the hunter towards the dogs in spite of thick vegetation which obstructs the view and slows down movement. Their generic barks give evidence that they were meant to have robust, loud voices. The howls, meant to signal the cornering or catching of the quarry; Beagle fans find it awesome to watch the dog throw its head back, noise pointing straight up, and letting a rambling, eerie “song.” Last comes the notorious (depends on your point of view) bay, said to be among the least in musical quality. The bay is an unpleasant half-bark and half-howl, and a beagle, whose fancy is always caught by something interesting every moment, will make frequent use of it.

The beagle’s baying and howling grows into a Beagle training issue when the dog uses these vocalizations whenever it is left alone (and it will indeed use these). Beagles do best with human companionship and deteriorate if deprived of play for stretches of time in a day. Howling is simply one of their ways to break the monotony. It will prove to be a major challenge how to train a beagle not to howl given that such an action is part of their history; if you know that you are going to be out of the house most of the time with the dog left inside, honestly and frankly weight the factors before you get this breed. If there is simply no way for you to reject owning a beagle, then you may want to give the help of a dog sitter a try, or you can bring the dog to a day care center.

If you think something needs to be done about the dog’s howling and barking, you may want to get a fence that does not allow to the dog to see out into the streets and the neighborhood. This way, no outside stimulation is likely to catch its attention.

The next time you are around and the dog starts barking, you may want to try stopping it by spraying it with some water out of a spray bottle. When the dog barks, spray it with water, and tell it “No bark.” Soon, you may only need to aim the bottle at it and say the command to make it quiet, and later on, only the command.

First time to the beach for all 11 puppies,(7 weeks old) they loved running in the sand, eating the sand, pooping in the sand. Of course we had plenty of poop bags for the clean up.
It has been a learning experience raising 11 puppies, times like this beach party make it harder for us to sell the puppies.
For all you pet lovers out there we will be screening all the families that want a puppy.
