DO NOT GET A BEAGLE before you watch this. | This MIGHT change your mind. 

What can you add to this list? What does not apply to your beagle?

Our beagle drives us crazy with begging for food all the time and not listening but the love he gives and those adorable looks is worth every aggravation! I want another one!

My beagle passed away at 16. He was healthy right up to then. He was an escape artist. Very challenging at first but a beautiful faithful dog that made a massive impact in my life

As a former beagle owner I can say all 10 are true and with two beagles times two! To me the worst part of being a beagle owner is the day they cross the rainbow bridge. The best thing about owning a beagle is the absolute unconditional love they have for you. He miss the excitement of coming home to them. 😢

I’ve had 9 Beagles in my life. I would never own any kind of dog. My son has a Great Dane and my daughter a Golden Retriever. Honestly it was easier to train my Beagles. Beagles are fantastic for family life. I’ve had a Beagle in an apartment, on a farm, and in a suburban home. Once you know about this dog it’s a fantastic companion. I’ve rescued Beagles who worked at the border, show dogs, and hunting partners. No matter the Beagle - it needs stimulation….

My beagle passed back in June. I had him from 8 months of age to about 13 years. I did my research, and because of that, I found that housebreaking him and training him basic commands far less difficult than so many experts told me to expect. I'd leave him at my parents' place, and get a call he'd run out the door. Once he saw me pull up, he ran straight into my arms. One thing you mention regards training with treats; while I did that, I never let him get overweight (and I've seen plenty of obese beagles). Next time around, I'll avoid the training with treats, and rely on praise. Even my cat misses my beagle (the cat was fascinated with all those beagles in the video), but I need to make sure I'm ready for the responsibility again.

My beagle just died yesterday, i took care of him since day 1 and it breaks my heart, now i go home and no longer see my beagle waiting for me, no longer see him in his spot ni my bed room and most of all our routines, this completely changed my life. This sucks. Wish i could hug him again.

My first beagle, Hannah, lived almost 18 years old. I'm a beagle person and love this breed. I really don't have any complaints,I have another beagle, her name is Gabby.

Beagles are mayhem on legs and worth every second 🤣🤣

I got a beagle before watching this! But now I’m ready to get more invested

My 9 year old beagle has some of these traits (especially the love of food), but there are some great things about them too! They love everyone and are not remotely aggressive. They love to play with other dogs and don’t get in fights. You’re so right about getting more than one though-they are dogs that really need company.

Wow, listening to this I realize how great our little Beagle was. She came to us at about 6 months old. We never formally trained her. To potty train her I simply used consistency. I would get up at least three times during the night to take her out. Within a year she was trained and no accidents in the house. When she came to us we did already have an older dog (Schnauzer mix). That may have helped her transition. Eventually the older dog died when the Beagle was 5. But I never saw her have separation anxiety. Of course we paid a lot of attention to her -- we did to both dogs. They were very much a part of our life. By the time the Beagle was the only dog, I think she was feeling very secure in her environment and understood our schedule. It never seemed to bother her when we left and most times we found her to be sleeping when we got home. We never locked her in a kennel, she always had free run in the house and she never destroyed anything. In fact, I did not think Beagles capable of destroying anything. That information kind of took me by surprise. Our Beagle was actually pretty calm all the time. The only time she showed excitement was if she caught a sniff of something while on walks. Often we had to run along with her as she 'followed' the trail -- 'blowing the trumpet' as we called it. She lived to 14, and it was cancer that took her. We have an acre of fenced property. Her most favorite thing to do was 'sniff' out food. Whether we should have done it or not; we would literally throw and scatter very small treats throughout the yard, then take her out. Always sniffing the ground she would find the first one, and then it was on. She could spend hours searching that yard looking for those snacks. During the cold winter I would scatter a few snacks throughout the house while she was sleeping and she would spend hours looking for them. The most special thing with her was, when you got home, she could smell you while in a deep sleep and she would wake up. Then she would climb down from her bed and promptly walk over to you and demand a hug. She would lift up on her back legs and pull on you with her front paws. You had to kneel down and literally wrap your arms around her and hug her. Once she got her hug she was good to go. I never had a dog that demanded a literal hug. So special.

Wow. I have had three beagles and you are right on all this. I now have a better understanding and respect for some of the traits that were difficult. Independent is exactly who they are but understanding why is helpful. Yes...my neighbors did NOT like any of my beagles. Noisiest dogs ever but the more loving and snuggly dogs I have ever owned. And GOOD WITH CHILDREN. Oh my gosh, my granddaughters thought our dogs were there sisters. That alone made all the mayhem worth it.

Just said goodbye to my 16 year old beagle/ Jack Russell who loved everyone from children , adults and every animal from cats, birds.. He was the most calm, loving soul dog I have ever own.. I am hoping to find another one soon

This was actually really helpful. We got our first beagle (and our first dog) and this helps me understand him so much better. I now know what to expect and how to work with him. We love our beagle even after he learned how to push out the kitchen chairs and jump up onto the table 😆🤪🥰🥰

You nailed it. I will say once our beagle got comfortable knowing this was his home and we would always come back, he never tried to escape and separation anxiety went away. But the begging for food never went away and is the one thing that annoys us. The noise (the noise!) and the stubbornness are now just part of his charm.

I love beagles! They're one of my favorite dog breeds. But what really angers me is that people use beagles for animal testing because they're docile and trustworthy. That's why we should shop cruelty-free to save lives. The Beagle Freedom Project is where people should adopt them from cuz they are all beagles that have been rescued from labs. Adopt don't shop or buy from breeders.

We had a beagle/GS mix growing-up. He wasn't barkative, didn't have any heath issues until he reached old age despite everyone feeding him and being overweight. He lived to be 14 y/o, just the same.

My beagle is 10 years old and he has been a great dog. I didn't do anything out od the ordinary with his training. And I haven t had any problems at all. He does shed a lot. I would say to anyone getting one they are a typical dog. Be patient when they r pups and u will have a great buddy. They are food thief's lol.

Happy to have found your channel. Just adopted a 10 week old beagle mix puppy. He’s been home (with me) almost 3 weeks now and so far, pretty good! He’s my 1st puppy ever & I live in an apartment building. Slightly scared but he’s really great!!

So honest. ❤️. But they will steal your heart so quickly, you find yourself in love and are so willing to put up with them! 😂. And can’t imagine life without one!

Too smart for their own good too. My beagle watches me and learned to open a variety of doors and latches , they're sneaky learners. We don't let her see how we open tbe baby gate , she opens all types of kennels to get I N them to search for food. The ruff land kennel require thumbs so that a good beagle proof one. She opens Impact crates, wire crates, her furniture crate with a latch. We never intended on her to learn this but she run over sits and watches your hand movements.

I am a first time dog owner and i got a beagle. I prepared myself way in advance and with consistency and never giving in I have a well-behaved 5 month-old girl, who in the woods walks off leash and comes in if i ask her. We connect vers well. She is great with my children, never aggressive. Good luck for every one! Great video and love the way you handle your dogs!!

Great video. I hope anyone considering a beagle watches this first. All the information stated is true from my personal experience. That being said, I LOVE my beagle and I feel I will always have one in my life now.

My favorite thing about my 1 year old Beagle is when we go to bed he likes to crawl all over me and act silly. As long as I act like the pack leader and use a firm voice he listens to me and always wants to go where I'm going. Every time he howls it just makes me laugh. I love it. I wish I had more.

I had 1 beagle and 1 Dashund I had named my beagle 'Snoopy' The Dashund was 5 years elder to the beagle but they got along like brothers Until my Dashund passed away just 1 month away from becoming 16years old Then my sister got another Dashund and the beagle was father like to it My beagle passed away last year due to getting tumor twice, he was 14 years Still miss him 😭

I have a 1 year old beagle. This list is so accurate lol

I already had a Beagle before I was born !! Lady was a great girl !! She was 18 when she passed away .

We had one beagle, that lasted a few months and we went and got another. I’ve had dogs before but I’ve never got my dog a dog until I had a beagle. One had a thin coat and the other had so much hair I couldn’t brush her enough. Her hair was so wiry it would stick in my foot like a needle. We used to say they were noses on feet and they would ask for kibble after they already ate. It helps with training. We trained our loud girl to use her “inside voice”. They knew a lot of commands and were super smart. We spent a lot of time training them, they are happier when they are trained.

I adopt senior beagles and at the moment have two. Wonderful companions! Funny, joyful, and loving. Both my beagles love meeting people and kids. I will add to #1 Stubbornness: "Nose on, Ears off." Beagles indulge in selective deafness, esp. when on a scent. So a firm hand is often needed on walks. Also, I emphasize Saro's requirement of exercise. Two decent walks a day go a long way to settle the beagles for training and quiet living.

Just got my first beagle a few weeks ago.. he just turned 12 weeks old.. such a great boy

Beagles ARE FOR EVERYONE BEST DOG FOR FAMILIES. KIDS ESPECIALLY.

All true. Thanks Saro! 😊 I wish I knew this before I got a Beagle. I had many dogs in my lifetime, but this breed is the most hyper, and never wanted to be leashed, she would cry loud so she would get what she wants. They are smart too, so u are right, my beagle knows how to even escape and find her way out to get what she wants. They are stubborn and I have to discipline her all the time. Though she is calm and love it that she can be independent sleeping alone , separated from us. Of all the breeds i had, i like it least, and my favorite is dachshund because they are sweet and behave and easy to train.

My Beagle used to play with the trash bin when he was alone. Once I left the house and came back in 5 minutes because I had forgotten something, and he had already broken the trash bag and spread everything on the floor. It took him just 5 minutes to wreck all that havoc lol. He's really missed.

Yes, all true. Sadly mine passed shy of 12 years. He was very healthy up to that point and then he developed back issues which no vet could tell my what the issue was did not set well with me. He was given steroids initially and it went away, it came back 6 months later, more steroids and seemed to be back to normal. However, the third time it didn't work. After a spinal tap he lost all function in his rear legs and was so desperately hurting. He was all of those things listed. I wish I had two but everything else you learn. Luckily he wasn't a barker/bayer when home alone but did have extreme separation anxiety. I had him at work while he was young and I couldn't even leave the room knowing my co worker had him. I worked on it with him and he did get better. Despite all of the things we beagle lovers deal with we enjoy how much joy they bring to our lives. They're always happy, wan't to engage you and want to be with you.....just make sure you stick to a schedule and tucker him/her out you'll less likely have a mischievous hound while you're out.

"short life, 16 years" That's very old but ok

Good video. Finally someone who speaks from experience instead of just regurgitating someone else's information. Thanks for the information. My Basenji had a lot of similar traits especially the stubbornness.

When my beagle was a puppy he was all over the house destroying things or guarding things he finds like used tissues and even marking I followed your advice of keeping our beagle on leash even in the house until he listens to us and follows the commands Now he's 1.5 years old and we are able to keep him off leash around the house for several hours This is a huge progress for him And you are correct toys and other motivations are a more effective way to train a beagle than treats cz that's when he truly connects and works with us🐶👍🏻

This is for anyone who is thinking about being Beagl Owner: My companion is one year old now and I kind of discard most of the comments. For example: Beagles are foody but try him feeding the same food for a week .... he will end up sleeping empty stomach! About behaviour trainings ..... it depends so much on how social you made him during his 1st year. Since he have seen and sniffed so many people down the line ...he hardly cares who passes by ... by he makes sure who enters his house...which is something desirable. In the end I would say I am more than satisfied to have a beagle in my family who understands me the way no one can

Thanks for this! We have a beagle mix, and your video shines a light on our love..

I had a Beagle and all of these are true. She was very smart and yes very independent.

Does a German Shepard a good companion for a beagle?

I have a beagle her name is Queenie, she is stubborn at times, when it's time to leave the local airport that has a lot of land for her to run and explore. I found that my beagle needed 2 or 3 hours of strong independent roaming everyday. This roaming let's her be the dog she is breed to be. We tried the doggy park , it did not work because all types of dogs come in from German Shepherds, Great Danes, pitbull etc. So I found this local airport that has bushes, wildlife, and well maintained. So I let her of leash and she roams for hours. I bring her home she plays around the house and she is good til the next day. Oh beagles love to chew on plastic so make sure you put away eyeglasses, bluetooth, chargers.

I had a beagle and 3 cats. He loved being around the cats as much as he loved being with the human family. And we loved him.

My beloved Beagle died at 12 1/2 . He suffered from epilepsy, cataract on both eyes an heart problems at the end. He was the most easy going and adorable creature - so sad that he`s gone😪

My beagle has an ATTITUDE!

Thank you for putting this up.

I had a beagle for 8 years after our prior *springer died. Our beagle came to us as an overweight 6 year old from the Humane Society. He had been turned into the Humane Society because of his begging and someone in his former home developed allergies to him. First thing I did was put tubby beagle on a diet and got his weight under control. Since I never had the opportunity to train him I introduced training slowly and one thing at a time. After a couple years he became a fine companion and he has only escaped our 5 acre property one time and I saw him in a neighbors pasture. I grabbed his leash and went and retrieved him. Today being a 14 year old elderly beagle he is great with his companion dogs in the house but he does set his own schedule and comes to me at the set time everyday for what he wants, needs and even comes to me at his bed time for a hug then walk to his bed and get his nightly brushing, Coopers speaks to me with barks and when it is treat time he is very vocal when I get his celery and peanut butter treat. Cooper our beagle can be demanding and when I grab the car keys of course that is his time alone with me. His other companions is a jack Russell and a springer spaniel. The funny thing is when I put the food out he eats his food and by the time he is finished he has his head in the springers dish which is empty but since they get alone so well they never have a food fight it is just 2 heads in one bowl.

Thank you for sharing this message.

We love our Beagle never ever think twice about our choice. Loki is so smart so loyal and has never behaved any different then any other pup. It’s all about the consistency. He was never crated either that don’t work for us. He gets plenty of attention great diet lots of excercise and has his space in the home. Yep that’s right like all dogs need balance. Not lazy owners who feed there dogs ppl food and no attention. And the love he gives is unconditional.

Got to admit, I got a beagle (at 3 months old) without doing the research beforehand. Boy was I under prepared! Haha. She is now 14 months old, and after a lot of hard work (mistakes and successes) she behaves like a reasonably trained canine.. even able to take her for walks off the lead now!

Thank you, Saro, for this excellent & informative presentation/video.

Never get just one beagle, always get two. Wow I typed this before watching your video, LOL. They are so high energy that you really need two of them because when you are tired of playing they will play with each other. Howling is not a problem as howling is what beagles do! We call beagle shedding "beagle glitter". BTW all pure bred beagles will have white on the tip of their tail, on all four feet and on their face. Watch as they trail something that tail with its white flag will be sticking straight up. That's bred into them so the hunter can see them working in tall grass or brush. They are also one of the oldest breeds going back thousands of years to ancient Egypt.

My first dog was a catahoula.. I know most of these traits already. Thank you for the video, I think it’s helped me decide to get a beagle

I am praying for all these escape artist beagles to escape from the sadistic subhumans who use them in labs for experimentation

If anyone is thinking of getting a beagle, there are 4000 just rescued from a breeding facility in VA that will be up for adoption soon. Yay and thank you Humane Society of the US.

Everything you say negative about beagles I find enduring. They are great dogs. I wouldn't trade a beagle for any other breed.

My beagle is almost 14 yrs old and I can vouch for this.😂 LOVE this breed and will get more

They are awesome dogs

I am so lucky with my Beagle, he doesn't beg for food at the table or goes for the bin which is right by his bed . Once he has his breakfast & dinner he is not lnterested at all in food or treats, which I've tried so hard with him for training 🤣 but saying that ??? Chicken has helped alot with that job & Finley is such a lovely Beagle & well behaved rounded dog . Only problem i do experience now is that he thinks that he owns the hole neighbour hood & ever one that walks pass our windows he barks !! Part from that he is beautiful and first class Beagle 😍. So any tips for you would be fantastic. Love from ENGLAND in Sheffield South Yorkshire ❤ Thank you 😊 🙏

Very true , they are very lovable and they are like Vaccum machine. They just stick to a scent till they find out the source or we have to interrupt and cut them off.

I have a 10yo beagle. We adopted him from a shelter and he previously changed 4/5 family because of his behaviour I suppose. He is aggressive sometimes and he can not stand some kind of dogs. He sometimes bits even if we just cuddle him, maybe he thinks we're trying to do something bad. We have him now for 5 years and he improved a lot but there are some behaviour i think he will neve lose. Anyway, i love him, he follows me wherever i go, sit beside me and always want me to rub his belly. Beagles are adorable!

Beagles are very emotional and love attention. They want to be active, walks through the woods are a treat for them! They are also very vocal 🤣🤣🐶

🌹🌹🌹 I have 2 Beagles.. They are the best.. very intelligents.. Thanks 🙏

I have a beagle her name is rosie and she is postive because of you and she is 4 years old and she is trained thank you for being apart for my dog love you

I love my beagle Lacey. I rent a house and if the landlords allowed, I would get a second beagle in a heartbeat. But a girl was talking to me once about how she wanted to get a beagle because they don’t shed. I laughed so hard

Wish I knew all this before I adopted. This is all spot on

Love my two beagles! You hit this nail on the head with this video! Describes my boys to the t.

Thank you for this important information!! 😊

Hi, thanks so much for this excellent video. I think a life expectancy of 16 - 18 (?) years is more what a Jack Russell or Chihuahua would have though; but even 12 - 15 years is amazing. We lost our German Shepherd with only 7 years due to DM (a degenerative disorder), and decided to get a Beagle also because their life expectancy is an estimated double (many German Shepherds die too young unfortunately due to health problems). BUT NOW we have fallen VICTIM to what you call "problem number 10"! We've been enjoying the past 8 months with our Beagle so much that, just yesterday, the decision was made in the household to ADD a second Beagle in spring/summer of next year. Once our boy is a responsible adult, lol, let's hope he'll ever get there. Frankly I would be afraid to adopt a Beagle with uncertain background and genetics, just due to the health issues they might have. Some Beagle owners we know did this and had their puppy come to the home with life-threatening conditions, and I'm not selfless enough to be ok with experiencing this: Spending a year witnessing our rescue German Shepherd's health decline has left a mark for us. So, the next Beagle will be (once again) a puppy from a professional Beagle breeder who performs health testing and genetic screening on his Beagles.

i just had a beagle 5 days ago! thanks for this video!

I wish more people would watch this - here in Portugal, lots of people are trying to rehome their Beagle via social media, coming up with all kinds of excuses (like, the landlord doesn't allow the dog any more - when the law clearly states that no landlord is allowed to forbid owning a dog or cat...). I strongly suspect it's because of the noise, and the Beagle destroying people's home when left alone all day, whilst people are working. Luckily, we live in a very remote area in a large house with land around. Our dogs are in the house most of the time, but even when outside, excessive barking is not allowed. But then again, this is Portugal, land of the barking dogs around the clock, and the local rabbit hunting dogs have the same bay and howl, so people will be used to the sound palette, lol!

I love my stubborn beagle. Raffy is very smart and loves food and walks ❤❤

This was a grate video man. Really good advice thank you for your time.

Thanks, after watching this I understand my beagle better. ❤

I have a puggle (half pug, half beagle). Best dog ever! The pug part makes him more chill than a purebred beagle.

When my beagle was a puppy he was very destructive. Since then he has been sweet, lovable, and a great companion. I love his bark. It is true that they are stubborn and will pull on my leash. but he is a great pet.

My beloved beagle/lab mix crossed over the rainbow bridge this past Christmas Eve at age 11 (she got severely sick very quickly). But I am thinking of getting a lemon beagle once I am emotionally ready. Best thing I did was crate train her. Didn’t have to worry about any trouble while i am gone. She found out that she got even more treats if she went in on her own so she would go in any time she thought I could be leaving 😂 the noise thing was never a problem. She was loud outside and when she didn’t get her way but she didn’t react to noises outside or anything. She was the best dog ever and would recommend a beagle to anybody who has time and energy to invest in a dog

@Saro Dog Training, my furniture is gone with his extra shedding. But i still love him 💗 he is someone close to my heart and I don't care but I love him

Saro: So, VERY Accurate! Funny how beagle-lovers are always working on issues that "WE" found to be really CUTE when they were puppies! LOL. My beagle LOVES to unroll the toilet paper off the holder. Cute when he was a puppy... not so cute during the pandemic TP shortage! Still: The Best of Breeds! :).

Here are my 5 tips for Beagle owners. 1.Give them love.2 don't want them chewing things,spray Vinegar on the item.3.use back pack leash only.4.give them Dog herbs/grass to help digestive system 5.If too stuck on a smell clap your hands and call its name.

I would say my hardest problem with beagles is they r so curious they tend to search for ways out of the yard and r stubborn to come when called. And he is stubborn with the kennel. He used to sleep in our bed all the time but since we got a second dog he sleeps in his cage together and he hates it and would throw a loud tantrum.

My beagle Denver is 2 and I'm lucky enough to be able to take him to work with me. He's never been alone before if I go to the movies my mom takes him xo

Omg just found your channel we have a 4 year old beagle this video is so helpful and true based on my experience with my beagle thanks and new subscriber here lots of love from the Philippines 🇵🇭😊🐕💕

Thank you so much for this Sir! ❤

We have a 2 month old, I can already see traits from this video 😂what is the right time to start training them?

🌹🌹🌹 All dogs are ADORABLES, LOVELY... I have : 2 Beagles, 1 Labrador, 1 mixed. Thank you 🙏

"those eyes that demand more food"=100% true!!! I will say I've been very lucky with my beagles. I've had 5 total, the most at once 3 plus 1 foster=4. They have been quiet and done super well on leashes, even walking 4 at once. The separation anxiety has been hit or miss (I'm sure many of you have half eaten miniblinds too). They definitely shed, but at least it doesn't float like husky hair. They definitely are escape artists (just ask Ruthie who ate her way through grandma and grandpa's laundry room door).

Hundred percent right.. my beagle is a destroyer too outside or inside the house and everywhere ..hard to train her

My favourite dog deagle

I just got a 5 month old beagle and I really don't know what to do because his last owner didn't train him, and watching your vids makes me want to train him moree but my problem is he's already 5 months old and he's already doing so many bad habits.. Please help me to train him so he could get along with my other dogs.. Thank youu, you're an amazing beagle owner!

I love beagles, the one I have now is a beagle coonhound mix. He’s a funny little boy

I have a beagle mix. He can be a handful at times. But he is a good dog

Love Beagles ♥️♥️

I have had beagles all my life. They are definitely some of the smartest dogs ever. Mine (Duke his name) gets out his crate. All the time. And yes opens doors. And he's only 5 months old. They are to smart for their own good.

I've had mine for 6 yrs and now I want more

Annie is my first beagle. I love her to death. She neither barks or howls but loves to sniff everywhere and everything. She's absolutely wonderfull. .

My beagle katey is now 13 ,I agree with the majority of what you are saying but she always gets her own way,she doesn’t live with me I live with her,and I don’t mind at all as long as she is happy she can be the boss,lol,she has been my best friend and constant companion for 13 years and she is very much loved and adored,yes she is a money Pitt what with vet expenses especially as she is getting older,but then again you can’t put a price on unconditional love ,great videos my friend

The list is really accurate im a first time dog owner i has my 2 yr old beagle for almost a year and a half and didn’t know a thing about beagle it was hard he was really good at escaping as a puppy and really stubborn but he’s kinda okay now but still stubborn

Beagles are the best dogs ever
