Any advice for a new owner of a beagle puppy?

Question

I have recently gotten a new Beagle puppy 2 weeks ago. She is doing pretty well on her pottying but we can't seem to keep her in the yard all of a sudden. We have put her on a chain and she escapes, we have spanked her, etc. We reward her for good behavior but this is getting bad and we live on a somewhat busy street and do not want her to get into the road and get hit. Does anyone have any good advice from puppies they have or do own?

Answer 1

you have a cute dog

Answer 2

She should not be left outside unattended and off of a leash. Beagles are easily distracted by the many smells that are out there. Your Beagle should be completely trustworthy off leash before she ever gets the opportunity to wander off. You are quite correct to worry that she will be hit by a car. I would highly suggest that you start her in obedience classes soon. Reward based classes are definitely the way to go with her. I am maybe a little biased but the training program at Petsmart is REALLY good, inexpensive, and guaranteed. They also cover potty training on the first day of the puppy/beginner class.

Answer 3

Beagles are bred to be scent hounds. This means they are born with an instinct to follow scents. You cannot train this out of her. It would be best to fence the yard in with solid fencing, if she smells something interesting enough she may be willing to run through an electric wire fence. Never, ever let a beagle outside without a sturdy leash on, and never leave her outside unattended. She is not trying to be bad, she's just doing the only thing she knows how to do. And don't tie her out on a chain, not only is it easy to break the chain or slip out of the collar, but if she gets scared or excited she could hurt herself pulling on it. You need a fence ASAP.

Answer 4

Set boundaries and limitations, and stick with them. Pick a single word for functions and actions and use only that word. (i.e. down means lay down not get of the couch)Make you dog understand you, and all humans, are the leader. You go out doors first, you eat before he does, he has to be invited on the bed or couch etc. Spend at least 5 minutes a day on positive reinforcement obedience training. Make sure he gets a lot of exercise, BC beagles can be a handful if not properly exercised. Watch the Dog Whisperer on National Geographic channel it is on all the time. Also buy "Dog Training for Dummies", great book.

I have had several dog breeds, a couple of beagles...so cute!!
Beagles are curious dogs........I had one that could get out of anything and into everything!
If you just recently became a pet owner or you've had one for many years the basics are simple. You have to feed your animal, make sure it gets its shots, and play with him as well. But, you also need to keep him safe. Pet containment systems can help you do this. Whether it's a trip in the car, a visit to the vet, or just being outside in his own yard, an animal can react to outsides circumstances causing him to get into sticky situations. He could run into a crowded street or enter a neighbor's yard. Pet containment is important to every pet owner for two reasons: the pet's safety and the public's safety.

There are several ways pet containment can work for your pet. If you have a small animal, a carrier is often the most obvious and easiest method for transportation to and from areas. But, larger dogs require bigger guns. For instance using a muzzle may help ensure your dog doesn't bite anyone. Also, many pet owners use pet containment in their cars and vans to transport animals. Even such things as simply using gates to make sure the animal doesn't jump or get into certain areas can help keep the animal safe.

Another form of pet containment is using electronic fences. These are often called pet containment systems. They work very simply. An underground sensor reacts with the collar that is placed on the dog. When the dog gets to close, the pet will feel an electric stimulation to cause them to move back. This type of pet containment can help eliminate the need for a costly fence around your yard. It is a safe alternative as well. It only causes the pet a small amount of discomfort and does not hurt the animal.

As you can see, there are many ways to use pet containment to help prevent accidents and trouble with your pet. Pet containment keeps animals safe and secure. It helps prevent outside distractions that can cause harm to your pet to or to others. Pet containment is something every pet owner needs. Finding quality pet containment will ensure your satisfaction is met. Pet containment can provide a sense of security to any pet owner
My last suggestion to you is ask your vet to see what he/she thinks. Best of luck!

Answer 7

take her to training classes and teach her to come. get a fence or an electric fence or a dog run so she can be safe when you cant watch her.

Answer 8

just rain it well and respect if its a puppy then dont get mad at it even if it did something bad just say no not to loud but firmly

Answer 9

use a very deep stake or an underground wire. i don't like the wires, but it is better to keep your dog than to not have him anymore.

Answer 10

Yes, don't get a beagle or any breed of hound dog.

Answer 11

fence her in? find out what she wants out there and give it to her in your yard? maybe find something to occupy her with?
