Best training tools to train a beagle?
I have two year old beagle that still isn’t potty trained. I have heard from people that beagles are one of the hardest breed to train is this true? What are some good training techniques to train a beagle without getting it professionally trained? I work at home so it is not a issue of being here.
If you work from home — then the issue is that you are not dedicating enough time to training. So, you really have to put some serious time to house-breaking as well as general Obedience. I would say that you need to schedule 1 to 2 hours a day. That would be the time spent walking the dog for exercise and potty breaks. Then some time needs to be spent just training obedience. Often it is easier to train if you are signed up for classes outside the home. If you’ve paid out some $$ – you tend to actually attend classes as opposed to thinking about training at home and putting it off. Some schools will tell you – they are not training your dog — they are training YOU to Train Your Dog.
Beagles are hounds and Hounds can be a difficult breed to train. They are bred to work on their own and so tend to need a high motivating toy or reward. Figure out what your dog loves (food, tug ball on rope, whatever) Then use this reward when training. I love Clicker Training as it is really helps the dog understand when they are successful. So – look for some clicker training classes in your area.
Potty training – you didn’t say if you have a male or female. Spaying or neutering will help so if your dog is intact — to the vets’s!! I have attached a schedule of potty training — you need to use a crate and confine your dog unless you are paying totally and absolute attention to her/him. But, you should be able to get some results from this within the first week. Don’t move too quickly – your dog has been untrained for a long time – move slowly and expect some feedback from your dog (like a Ar-roo or two!!).
Also – a friend had a beagle and it would pee in its crate if there was bedding in it — no bedding, no peeing. So be on the look for odd quirks of beagle behavior like this – and just work past it.
GOOD LUCK!!
