Beagles are a great breed as far as being loyal and aiming to please you, but when it comes to training them especially when they are just a puppy, it's a different story.
You probably already know that beagles tend to be a bit stubborn when it comes to training. The truth is that these dogs are very smart and want to learn from you, you just have to know how to get through to them. Here are 3 simple tips on how to train a beagle puppy that you can use to train your beagle.
Exercise your beagle puppy regularly. Exercise is not only great for your beagle but it will keep him from acting out when you are trying to train him. Beagles were bread to be hunting dogs and love to be out running, they were bred for it. Allowing your beagle to run or chase a ball is a good way to let your puppy get out all that energy so when it comes time to train he will be more focused.
Potty training is the first thing you will need to do. Nothing is more important when you get your dog then to teach him where the bathroom is. You will want to bring him out to go potty every hour or so when he is really young and bring him to the same place every time. This will help your new puppy get used to where the bathroom is and pretty soon he will know to go there.
Reward your puppy with treats and praise whenever he or she does something right, no matter how small it may seem to you. This is really important to do because it helps your puppy learn that if he does something right he will be rewarded. It's a really easy way to get your dog to do what you want since dogs love food.
The most important thing though is do not give up. It will take some time for your beagle to get the hang of anything you try to teach him so hang in there and don't get discouraged if he makes a mistake or doesn't do what you tell him to the first time.
