If you keep your dog healthy, she will be active all her life. That's a trait of the beagle breed. Usually active breeds like beagles and Labrador retrievers will calm down some when they reach the age of 3 years or so, but they will not stop being active.
Give your dog lots of exercise and obedience train her. If you don't have much experience training dogs, then I'd recommend taking her to obedience classes. Exercise and training are the best ways to control hyperactivity.

Welcome to the world of beagles. As long as there nose works there legs work. Mine is almost 8 months old so i have a long time to go. My dad used to breed them and they never slow down. With Alley I take her out every morning for a good run and then when my son gets home from school. I also live in rural newfoundland so its easy to get her out in the woods. Have you tried the kong ball. Cost about 25.00 but they give hours of busy time. and they last a long time. I put peanut butter in alley's she loves it. But they have other treats at the pet store to give a her a change. Glad to here she's still hyper(I didn't know that wasn't a word, I like it as a word its fits a beagle to the tee) That means she's good and healthy. good luck to you and your beagle

The Beagle breed is a very hyper dog. It is always up to mischief with its nose to the ground for the next smell to come along.
They have a very happy disposition and enjoy life to the max. You will find your beagle will be a fairly hyper breed for the rest of it's life

I have a 7 year old beagle and she still acts like a puppy! They are very loving and pleasing dogs and they were bread to hunt! You will find that they will always protect and bay (there bark) till the end. Cleo is still very active and hunts in the backyard, but she does love her sleep. Mine is on a routine and that helps, and we go over her commands each day. We also make it a point to walk everyday they have a lot of energy and need to get it out! I find if I walk her in the morning and night she acts much better and sleeps more. Just keep working with her/him and it will get better also try the kong toy with some peanut butter takes them houurs to get their favorite treat and keeps that nose of theirs busy!

Obedience train him. The happiest dogs are the dogs that know their place in the hierarchy. You are the leader, he is the follower. Taking him out for exercise that gets him plumb tuckered out, will make him happy. A tired dog is a happy dog. Beagles are high energy dogs. He needs a couple of long walks every day, and a daily exercise session where, by the end of it; he is so tired he can't play anymore. That will make him happy. Give him a job to do. Take him to agility training. Teaching him agility keeps his mind sharp and on you at all times. It doesn't give the mind time to think of destructive things. It keeps his focus on you; right where it should be. Do these things and you will have the happiest dog in the world. At least, your world. :)

Simple... a beagle is a hunting dog and needs lots of exercise. Get her to a leash-free park or field and let her run. And maybe in another 5 years she just may slow down.

Just bc the dog is not a puppy doesnt mean they are all gonna be lazy. I had a dog that was 5 and still acted like a puppy. I guess it depends on the dog. Just be happy that your dog is healthy and happy.
