Whether you’re potty training your beagle puppy or crate training a beagle dog, beagles can often be quite difficult to train as well as stubborn. However, they’re also extremely stubborn. Even though they can be difficult to deal with sometimes, they make wonderful family pets as well.
This article is meant to help you when it comes to training your beagle. Please keep in mind, if you have any type of dog training tips or advice, this is not a substitute for the expert care of a qualified veterinarian. When attempting dog training advice, it is highly recommended that you seek the advice of your own veterinarian. If your Beagle is a registered pet, you should have a licensed and experienced breeder with whom you can discuss Beagle training.
There are certain characteristics that all dogs have that make them easy to train. First of all, a Beagle is a very active dog that is eager to please. They are very energetic dogs who love to run, play, and exercise. Because of their hyperactivity, hyperactive nature, and desire to please, they are fairly difficult to train.
The first step in achieving Beagle training success is making sure your Beagle is ready to go inside. It’s important to remember, dogs are like children; they’re ready to learn, but they can’t always do so without our encouragement. For instance, if your Beagle isn’t comfortable inside the crate, it won’t learn to go inside on its own. It will take encouragement and time from us to get your dog to feel comfortable in the crate. In fact, once your Beagle does start to get used to being in the crate, you may need more than one crate for him to learn he can go inside alone or with you.
During Beagle crate training, your goal is to get your Beagle to start thinking it’s just as safe to be in a crate as it is in your home. One way you can accomplish this is by providing your dog with various treats when you leave the house. Remember, the goal here isn’t to supply your dog with treats once every few hours but rather a consistent routine of treats and praise. Beagle puppies will respond to a constant supply of positive attention. You should also take a look at crate training books, which often include various crate techniques that you can easily incorporate into your daily routine.
The third step to successfully house-breaking your Beagle is to provide your dog with regular and continued mental stimulation. This doesn’t mean you have to provide your Beagle with play-time every hour, but it does mean that you should take some time out from your day to play with your Beagle and play-time with your Beagle can help calm down his hyperactive behavior. Crate training is most effective when done with dogs who are high strung, because they tend to be more hyper.
The last step in successfully Beagle puppy training crate training is to make sure you are making your dog feel comfortable. For example, if he’s inside the crate for an extended period of time, you need to make sure he’s getting enough exercise. If you are only leaving the crate door open for a short amount of time, you need to make sure that the dog knows that he will get out of the crate and will enjoy his time outside. You want to make life as comfortable for your dog as possible.
One of the best tips I can offer in Beagle crate training is to always be positive. Positive reinforcement will help your dog stay calm and not lose his cool. If you have a dog who seems to be out of control, just ignore him. Don’t yell or scream at him. If you respond negatively to negative Beagle behavior, it won’t take long before he gets stressed and panics and will need to be placed back in his crate to calm down.
