Beagle Dog Training

 

Beagle dogs are one of the popular dog breeds families choose as a pet.  The Beagle is very smart but they often show stubborn tendencies.   When motivated they are able to accept training readily.  Beagles make a great pet due to their friendly nature.  Beagle dog training requires patience.  They are smart yet you will have to work at keeping them motivated to learn.  Using treats in beagle dog training helps motivate this smart, stubborn and affectionate little dog.

They are smaller than some other breeds.  Don’t confuse their small size with easily accepting apartment life as they want exercise.  They need both mental and physical stimulation.  When allowed to become bored, they will find something to fill their time. 

They are not the type of dog you can leave alone for hours on end.  Physically they have a high energy threshhold and emotionally they need companionship.  They are social animals requiring interaction with other dogs and humans.  Beagle dog training can be made easy by maintaining motivation and providing the mental stimulation and physical activity your dog needs and wants.

Training Beagle Dog Not To Dig

As a breed the Beagle is prone to digging.  This is especially true if your dog is allowed to become bored.  Beagles are smart and need a lot of mental stimulation.  Allowed to become bored they will dig and may become escape artists.   Beagles often enjoy digging because it is just fun.  Digging can provide the dog with a sense of accomplishment.  They can look around and see all the areas they have dug up.

Beagles Need Shelter

Another reason a Beagle may dig is to cool himself in the summer.  Freshly dug soil is cooler than soil that has been baked by the sun.  When this is the reason for your dog’s digging, the answer is simply to provide a shelter from the sun for your dog.  Your Beagle needs a place in the yard where it can find refuge from the sun’s rays. 

A Beagle that is digging because he is bored needs to be provided other opportunities.  Providing the Beagle with tempting dog chew toys, rawhide bones, bouncy balls will help eliminate the boredom when people are not available for the dog to interact with.  Dogs enjoy work.  Use the time you have available training your Beagle dog.  Beagle dog training is an enjoyable constructive time for your dog. 

Training your Beagle dog to not dig if he is doing it because he is having fun may be impossible.  In this instance the best option available is to provide your dog with an area where digging is acceptable.  You may want to erect a sandbox. 

Directing Your Beagle to a Sandbox

Training your Beagle dog to use the sandbox is simple and straight forward.  When your Beagle is digging inside the sandbox, praise him enthusiastically.  When your dog digs anywhere, other than the sandbox, reprimand him immediately. 

In order to reprimand affectively you must be a witness when it is occurring.  While in the process of reprimanding the Beagle pick him up and place him in the approved sandbox.  When he digs in the sandbox, praise his actions.  In training the Beagle dog to use the sandbox you may need to bury bones, toys, etc. with the sandbox.  An area that is fun to dig in and provides rewards is worth returning to again and again. 

Beagle Dog Training

Training a Beagle dog requires patience.  This little guy can be stubborn.  Do not let it become a strength of will between you and your dog.  If your Beagle feels you are not acting like the alpha dog leader he will lose respect for you.  Your beagle will then start ignoring your commands.  Your answer is to reestablish yourself as the alpha dog leader.

Your Beagle wants to work.  Beagle dog training provides the work he wants.  Dog treats are an excellent method of instilling within your Beagle a motivation to keep learning.
