I have a beagle and she loves everyone! She is hardly afraid of anything and absoloutly LOVES to be around other dogs. I took her in a parade today and she was pretty well behaved. But she is often an energizer bunny, and she loves to chase my cats. However she is pretty smart and easy to teach new tricks, she can sit, lay, dance, beg, give paw, crawl, rollover, play dead, speak, and even jump.

But beagles often howl at night and cannot be outside off a leash or outside of an enclosed area because if they see a rabbit or a bird they're gone!

best wishes!

All dogs will develop a favorite, usually the person that feeds them. But, Beagles do not do this to the exclusion of others like some breeds do. Because of their pack instincts Beagles do not do well if left alone for extended periods of time, so if no one is home day after day two Beagles will do better than one.
We have spent an unbelievable amount of both time and money breeding for that "mouth", so if the Beagle baying bothers you ,,,,,,,,,,,,.
Play the sound clip from this page to your Beagle and the reason for it will become very obvious.

Never let a Beagle run free except in a well fenced aria, they are "investigaters" and will be off and running in a heartbeat. Beagle rule #1 is "never chase a Beagle". By nature they hunt in a circle chasing their pray back past the hunter for the shot. When the hunter moves toward them this tells the Beagle to expand it's hunt. So if you chase them they will only end up farther away.

Many people love the idea of owning a dog but one thing that they have to keep in mind often times, is that the dog needs to be trained. While the pet may look heart-breakingly cute when it's in a shelter or at the pound, picking out the dog is only the first part of the relationship between dog owner and the animal. Many people don't understand that they have to put time and effort into socializing the dog.

An unsocialized dog will intimidate others, tear up the home, and will create an environment that can become so bad that the it will have to be returned. Many times when dogs have to be returned to shelters or to other resources, it will end up euthanized, which is very heartbreaking. All of this can be spared if a person learns the various techniques in order to socialize the dog.

One thing that they have to understand is that the he wants to be told what to do. It's in the canine nature to follow a leader. The dog will be more than willing to obey the leadership of its master. Here's a look at some common techniques that are used in dog training:

"Dog Whispering"

This is a technique that has been around for a while, but gained national notoriety over the last 10 years. Some people might hear this term and wonder how in the world whispering to a dog can train it! Whispering isn't meant to be taken literally in this case. As trainers have shown, whispering is a term that refers to connecting with a being or an entity on a very deep and almost spiritual level. When it comes to dog training techniques, dog whispering involves careful observation of the dog's behavior and actions.

It literally entails getting inside the mind and the behavior system of the canine. When a person uses dog whispering techniques, they interact with the dog on the canine level. Again, one the most common mistakes that people make is treating the dog like a small human being.

"Reward Training"

Reward training is very simple and it's one of the older tricks that works. This is a simple method of training the dog by positive reinforcement. Once he does what it is told to do, it receives a treat. How this works is that the dog owner must entice the dog towards the treat. Once the canine develops awareness for the treat, it develops a strong desire for it. When the desire for it is extremely strong, the dog owner pulls back. Then the dog receives a command and when the dog obeys the command, it receives the treat. The object is to make the dog associate a treat with the command.

"Clicker Training"

Other dog training techniques include one that is similar to reward training, which is called clicker training. How this works is that the clicker is incorporated to get the dog's attention. The clicker is clicked as a form of communication with the dog. It learns that there is a command or reward associated in conjunction with the clicker. Many people claim that this is fun, and they actually make a game with the dog by using the clicker for their dog training tasks.

"Ultrasonic Whistle"

Last, a relatively new form of dog training technique is called the ultrasonic whistle. This works because the ultrasonic sound is only heard by the dog. When the owner is trying to communicate a command, or stop the dog from barking, they will blow on their whistle when they want to communicate a command to the dog. The benefit of this is that the humans can't hear this noise, but the dog can hear it, and they will learn to associate the sound with a command.

Dog training techniques aren't hard to incorporate, but they are something that absolutely must be incorporated from the time a dog owner brings their new dog home. No matter how old or how young the dog is, they will need training. Once they are trained properly, they will be a wonderful addition to one's family.

Beagles usually make great family pets. They love being around people and tend to become very upset if separated from others. Since beagles enjoy being in the company of others they usually don't pick out one individual to be their favorite person. This of course varies based on each individual beagle. I recommend introducing your beagle to a number of different people, especially within the first few months. This will allow them to be comfortable in the the company of all ppl and avoid them from growing attached to just one person

Beagles are great! We had one when we first got married. She was really easy to house train. But they tend to have a lot of energy, so you will need to walk your doggie every other day for minimum of 30 minutes at the very least. They tend to be destructive if they are not exercised enough. Some are howlers and some are not. Ours didn't howl, but she dug alot. They do not attach themselves to one person normally. They tend to love everyone. if your puppy is displaying any traits that are making you uneasy, try looking up Caesar Milan books in your library or visit his website. I love him! I also watch his show The Dog Whisperer all the time. Hope this helps and good luck!

Beagles are sweet, incredibly smart dogs. They are a bit stubborn and have tendancies to wander when they get hooked on a scent, because they are hounds. But they are friendly around other dogs as well as people, one of the cutest breed (IMO), and have great hearing, and do tend to howl. I have noticed that they do pick favorites, atleast from my experience. My mom in law's beagle lucy loves everyone, but my mom in law is her be all, end all. She gets especially happy to see her, and when we were dog sitting while she went to hawaii for a week, lucy acted very depressed. Lucy also had puppies, they are not full beagles (half lab) and I have one, and I am his favorite. He is my protector! All in all, they are great!!!

Had a wonderful beagle names "Berkley T. Beagle" the "T" was for temporary as I felt I would not enjoy sharing my children and wife with a beagle. I figured his days at my home were numbered, and they were 5840, or just about 16 years. He and most beagles, was friendly, loyal a wonderful companion and dedicated to me. He did pick a favorite and luckily it was me and I loved him. Berkley, however, was very loving and lustful and was busted 5 times for being where he should not be. Spent a day in the slammer before I bailed him out. He was also extremely brave, dobermans, collies, shepards just another dog to him and he would attack them when they made him mad. Had quite a vetenary investment in him before he died. Beagles - get one.

I absolutely love beagles. My family raised them while I was growing up, and I always found them to be of an extremely favorable temperament. A dog of any breed is likely to pick a favorite person(s)--who spends time with them, plays with them, feeds them, walks them, etc.? Beagles are excellent choices as pets!

Kimbee is correct, one thing that I notice with my neighbors beagle is the howling, very loud. If your beagle picks a fav, then make sure it's you, utlimate protection, :)
