Your brand new beagle pup looks to you for all of its training and care. Once you take your pup from its mother you become the provider of care and life teacher for your beagle pup. Make sure you talk to your vet and make your vet a regular part of your beagle pup’s life especially when tough times come up. Be patient with your beagle puppies, as they love to run but hate to listen so it is going to take time to get them to do what you want them to do.

A beagle pup develops in stages just like any other new born animal and if you expect your three month old beagle pup to be doing things it shouldn’t be able to do until it is ten months old then you are setting yourself and your puppy up to fail. Find out what the correct developmental expectations are for your beagle pup and keep them in mind as you try and train your beagle puppy to be what you want it to be and do the things it will need to do to get through life.
One of the more challenging tasks to teach your beagle pup is the process of housebreaking. This can be one of the more frustrating things you go through as the results of this bad behavior can cause problems with your home for years. Traditionally people cage their dogs at night and when they leave during to day to teach dogs when it is okay to go to the bathroom but now some experts say this is not going to always work. Try setting aside an entire weekend where you take your beagle pup outside to where it is supposed to do its thing and reinforce that this is where to go and not inside. This may work better than caging.

Beagle pups love to be loud and obnoxious but this is always considered to be bad behavior and needs to be stopped immediately. One effective way of doing this is if your dog starts barking you point at it and tell it to stop with simple one word commands like “No” or “Stop.” Never hit your dog or run towards it in anger as it will cower from you or run and never learn to stop the bad behavior.
Most, if not all, of the behavioral patterns required for beagle pup need to be taught to them while they are still pups. Walking on a leash, for example, may seem like an easy second nature thing to do but beagle pups are not born with the ability to walk on a leash, you need to teach them. It takes patience but you need to make sure that all negative behavioral traits are eliminated when they are still young enough to learn.

A beagle pup is like an empty book waiting to be filled with information. If you wait too long to address behavioral issues then those issues become patterns in adulthood and negative behavioral patterns are much more difficult to stop. So make sure you take the time to train your pup while it is still young so you and your family can enjoy it for years to come.
