When you take possession of a new Beagle puppy one of the first
things you want to consider is that when it reaches about three
months old, enrolling it in Beagle obedience training to set the
stage for having a pleasant companion with which to live.
Between the ages of three months and six months, an early training
program can acclimate your puppy to the concept of training as
well as being around other dogs in a similar atmosphere. Basic
manners can be learned such as not jumping up on people and becoming
used to your command voice. Being able to give directions in a
firm, yet friendly voice, is what the owner can be taught, especially
if this is your first experience in Beagle training.
At about six months, you puppy can graduate to Beagle obedience
training where it can learn to sit, stay, come and walk quietly
on a lead. While the puppy is young a slip collar can be used,
but as it gets older a regular collar with a snap-on lead will
be needed to prevent it from slipping out of the collar to chase
after a real, or imagined, prey.
Rewards Are Better Training Tools
If you give the command to come during Beagle training and your
puppy instead sits, you should ignore it and simply repeat the
command in a steady voice. When he does some offer him a treat
as a reward so he begins to equate the treat with the proper performance
to each command. Treats should be broken into pieces and given
in small parts to help prevent the Beagle training from turning
into extra weight.
Consistency in expectations as well as voice level is an important
part of Beagle training as is not having the individual lessons
last too long. Like children, puppies have a limited attention
span and will get bored with the Beagle training and attempt to
find a diversion elsewhere. Beagle obedience training will surprise
you, when you realize how quickly a Beagle can learn and remember
the basic commands.
You must also remember to maintain consistent expectations at
home as well as at Beagle training classes so the animal does
not get into the habit of listening to your commands only when
in class and not at home. This is a very real possibility according
to many trainers and often confuses the dog and frustrates the
owner. This is especially important when potty training your Beagle.
