Beagle puppies are often being passed off disobedient, un-trainable, hyperactive and mischievous. While that has some truth in it, life with a beagle puppy can be enjoyable, fun and downright interesting. What you need is patience, love and the right beagle training principles.
1. Get your beagle puppy to love its food
Beagles love food. However, some beagles tend to be pickier than others. In this case, try several brands of dog food, and use the one that your beagle loves. Getting your beagle puppy interested in its food is a major step in getting it trained.
2. Use elusive training props
Make your training equipment (e.g. ball, hoop, dog bone) exclusively available only during training. Your beagle puppy will look forward to its training session when it realizes that these "toys" are only available during training.
3. Start 'em young
Beagle puppies can be trained from as young as 5 weeks old. Eager to please their owners, beagle puppies are able to learn rapidly during their puppy days.
4. Be firm, but remember to praise
Don't spoil your beagle puppy. He is more likely to be obedient if it sees you as its pack leader. Letting your beagle trample all over you will you its peer in the dog's mind. However, being firm doesn't mean being lack of praise. Always praise your beagle puppy for each thing it does correctly.
5. Patience, perseverance and fun
As they are stubborn, some beagles may take several lessons or even weeks to master a trick. Patience and perseverance will help a great deal in getting your beagle puppy trained all the way. Also, as beagles love to have fun, being excited during training will help in prolonging your puppy's attention span.
6. Use the right methods
Many owners think they know better and train their beagles from a human perspective. The fact is, beagles and all dogs for that matter, learn best when they do something voluntarily. You'll be amazed how quick a beagle puppy can learn when you use the right training methods.
