Obstinate is a word often used by trainers to describe a Beagle,
and training a smart animal is not always easy to accomplish.
Although a Beagle is typically easy to please, it can also be
short on attention and quickly lose interest in what is attempted
to be taught.
Because of their short attention span Beagle training lessons
should be short and they should also be consistent. For example,
when teaching your Beagle to come, saying the word three times
in a normal voice and the last time in a voice that is close to
yelling, may teach you Beagle to come only after you have said
it three times and yelled it once. While it is not the outcome
you are looking for, it can be the result of inconsistent Beagle
training techniques.
Beagle puppies learn very quickly when they are young and taking
them to obedience school may offer a surprise about how quickly
they can learn basic skills. Some obedience schools offer Beagle
training in what might be referred to as puppy kindergarten for
pups three months and older where they can learn basic skills
and socialization. At about six months you should enroll in obedience
classes and if it is your first time, beginners obedience classes
where he can be taught to sit, stay and come and walk on a leash.
Use Rewards Instead if Punishment
Having tasty treats to reward you animal for good behavior is
a basic part of Beagle obedience training, but remember that too
many treats can add unwanted weight. Break treats into two or
three pieces so it still receives and award, but will not be susceptible
to weight gain while in training. Beagle potty training also takes
consistency and requires cooperation on the dog’s part as well
as yours so he learns where and when he can evacuate.
By starting Beagle Obedience training young they can learn good
habits right from the start instead of waiting until they get
older and have to lose bad habits before acceptable behavior is
learned. If you are planning Beagle training for a hunting dog,
there is whole different training climate that has to be followed
and this type of Beagle training is best left to a professional
who can train your dog to respond properly to commands to prevent
him from becoming lost or worse.
