8 Simple Beagle Training Tips That Work

Presented By:http://BeagleTraining.org

The best results that are produced while training your beagle are the simplest acts.

Within any packs of dogs the alpha sets the rules while the

rest follows.

It is best to establish yourself as the alpha.

This way you can be sure that your beagle obedience

training sessions will be more productive.

Here are eight tips that will teach your new Beagle puppy or adult that you are the alpha

in the pack.

1. NEVER HIT YOUR BEAGLE FOR MISBEHAVING.

Instead use the tone of your voice and a collar/leash to

teach and make corrections.

2. Never leave a hyper Beagle unexercised.

Playing ball before you leave for work and after you return can help alleviate their pent-

up energy.

3. Never feed your hound from your plate while you are

eating.

They must learn that you are the alpha and that they can

only eat when you are finished with your meal.

4. Never keep them alone in a yard for days at a time.

Without proper socialization your hound will become

aggressive towards other dogs as well as other

humans.

They need contact with their own species in order to learn how to behave in a dog pack equally as well as they must learn to behave in a human

pack.

A Beagle left alone for long periods of time will believe

they are the alpha and will try to dictate to you instead of

the other way around.

5. Never allow your Beagle on the sofa or on your bed.

And if your hound sits in your path, gently shove it out of

the way with your foot.

By setting boundaries, you will instill in them that it must

obey the alpha.

6. Never allow your hound to jump on you or your guests.

Its fun when your Beagle is a puppy, but it is not fun when

they become heavier.

Practice with a collar and leash and set up situations

where a neighbor rings your doorbell while your dog awaits their entrance.

Make a sharp correction and command them to "sit" as your neighbor enters the

house.

And, of course, do not forget to praise them as soon as

they follow your command.

Once they know what to do, try the same thing off the leash, but this time use a

water spray bottle and spray them in the face with water as punishment for jumping and with a stern vocal correction

of "NO".

Proceed to praise them once again when they obey your

command.

This way, they will learn to associate praise with correct

action.

7. Never allow them to chew on your towels, socks, shoes,

or clothing.

Use bitter apple to discourage these types of behaviors.

8. Never allow a puppy to chew on your fingers.

Otherwise, it will become a habit that will be very hard to break when they become an

adult.

Spray you hands and fingers with bitter apple and then allow them to proceed.

They will learn not to bite your fingers without

associating any negative thoughts about you as the

alpha.

By following these steps, you will establish yourself as the

alpha.

And, you will have a head start in training your beagle

because they will have already learned to respect

your authority as their leader.
