Fantastic and sound advice! (As a Beagle owner) Ive seen many videos on here with rather "bad" advice about Beagles - but this is a very good one, filled with much sense and convering a range of important things.
Ah, thank goodness for your work, and your channel! Our Beagle puppy is scheduled to come home to us in a few weeks, and I've been struggling with finding quality information from a breed-expert's perspective. Seems my search is over :-) The intro looks like Heaven to me, lol, lots of happy little Beagles hobbling around, having the best time ever! Subbed!
I did exactly the opposite of several of those topics and my dog is fine, he never bit nobody and it's always happy. There is no right way, you just have to pay attention to your dog and understand what he needs.
Dry food is normally ok, mix some canned food with the dry, buy from a good brand, poultry chicken fish beef, preteens, fats, digestible carbs, avoid taking out your puppy for exercise until hes done with all his shots, walking with a dog is healthy for the dog, play fetch with the dog, dont exercise the dog in extreme weather, sit, stay, come, drop, is some commands, take the dog outside to potty in the morning, 20 min after food, and before bed, BEAGLE PUPPY> FEED FOUR TIMES A DAY, 3 MONTHES OF AGE> THREE TIMES A DAY, 6 MONTHES OF AGE> TWO TIMES A DAY............when the dog is 1 YEAR OLD switch its food to an adult........
Good advice but you should never be afraid that your dog especially a beagle will ever bite you, a child or anyone else. Your dog should be trained in such a way that it would never consider biting anyone. My beagle's loved and respected me, I could take any piece of food or Bone or whatever away from them at any time. I always suggest picking your beagle up and holding them like a baby from the time they are very young so they get used to it, they have to submit when they do this and they get used to your Authority.
"Once the beagle realises you want an item, he wants it even more". I have a year and a half old beagle, and the moment you try to take something (even a shoe or his toy) it becomes either a game or a nuclear war. The sweetest beagle in the world, but will snap when trying to take away a food item he claims as his. They steal a lot, but the more you 'punish' them for stealing or doing bad, the sneakier they become. My boy tends to 'talk' more than he does bay (the Aroooo sound they make), and not afraid to tell you what he thinks. LOVE MY BEAGLE!! Life is 100% more interesting with a beagle around; they will be your new forever-toddler :D
Beagles are a pack dog. They may and probably try to take hierarchy. I own 3 of this awesome puppers but when they try to get owner aggressive i pet them behind the ears and kiss their nose. They submit. I do not suggest to do that with an aggressive dogo as i know my beagles behaviors the reason why i do it.
What are you talking about? my beagles never bite or growl at us for food. You are giving them the wrong food if they are doing that! Beagles are big big eaters and will eat everything so talk to your local vet and they have food especially made for that. It fills them up without over-eating! My dogs bowls are always filled and they only finish the bowl every 3-4days. When we eat, they dont even come for a bite, they are full, they dont care. As a beagle owner, you should also know that a regular or choke collar is bad for a beagle. They can snap their neck very easily, a harness is recommended. My beagles dont pull at all on their leashes bc they have exercises at home to drain that energy like hunting games in our yard. With a harness at least they wont be out of breath chocking or hurt themself when the smell is too hard to turn away. I never offer treats to make him turn away... when your dog is trained, you dont have to do that. I only speak their names and they come! If they are loose, i just open the car door and they come running as fast as they can. They know we are going hunting! Know your breed before getting a dog! We have 2 beagles for hunting and yes they sleep in our room under our covers like babies not outside and a cat. They dont even go close to our cat bc they were trained young that cats are a no-no to hunt. We hunt ducks, prey birds, rabbits, deer, moose and we only let them loose after its down, safety for our dogs first.
I've always had this fascination about Beagles, but I've never had one. And truthfully, I'm not sure if I'll ever have one - are they really that loud? And can they be trusted off-leash as they have such strong hunting instincts?
this is one of the best dogs from small breeds. I have 2 big caucasian shepherds that are 9x heavier than a beagle, but if I wanted to have a small dog this is the breed I would buy. a perfect dog for family, kids and older people.
Although I didn’t learn anything from what was said, I still think the video was pretty good. The one thing that stood out in the video that would definitely make me think twice about getting a beagle is watching the part of the video in the beginning where it show a beagle jumping over the tall wooden fence, wow!
i've got a beagel/ greyhound mix and he is a handful. He's so energetic. He does like to jump on people. and he's always "in your face" with affection.
Hi, is it true that beagles howl relentlessly as i dont think the neighbors would appreciate that. I already have a working line German shepherd which i train in IPO. He is very docile and has a very happy disposition and is obviously full of drive based on the type of breed. I was thinking a beagle might be a good companion while I’m not around. What are your thoughts?
I got my first beagle on Jan.1, 1992. He was 5 weeks old. I fell in love with the breed and have had at least one beagle since then. Crickett is my 7 year old chocolate beagle. I love her so much. Her big sister, Bella is a 9 year old shepherd mix. They get along great together. I love them both as if they were blood family. They are family. I have had dogs my whole life. The day I was born we had a cocker spaniel. I have never been a single day without a dog and I'm 63. My 33 year old son is the same way.
This is probably the worst video about beagles ever I have a beagle puppy and let me tell you it’s hell he chews everything :( and chases everything. As for giving them treats to keep them away from something doesn’t work makes them do it more! Because then u are rewarding bad behaviour! There are other things to do. My boy is in training never stop training it gives them something to do and keeps them out of trouble no matter the age my boy is 11 weeks today so still in puppy stage
