When the topic of discussion turns to beagles, the names of some of the most famous beagles always come up. The best-known beagle puppy in the world is not even a real dog; it is Snoopy from the “Peanuts” cartoons. It is perhaps the popularity of this fun loving dog that has brought resurgence in the breed’s popularity, making it a sought-after pet for families, especially for those with children.

While some may consider the beagle to be mischievous, they are looking to have fun and their breed is well known for liking to play with others in the household. When a puppy is born and has the opportunity to learn how to act around other puppies, they can quickly adapt to a new home with a new human family. As highly intelligent dogs, a beagle puppy can learn new behaviors and be ready and willing to demonstrate their new abilities.

Some may describe the beagle as a bundle of energy looking for a place to release it all, but all they really need is a chance to run and jump a couple of times a day to be ready to take their place in the house. Very few owners of a beagle puppy will even consider allowing the dog to remain outdoors, and even fewer beagles would be willing to do so. Although originally bred centuries ago to be hunting dogs, due to their extraordinary sense of smell, the beagle is equally happy to search for things around the house.

Their ability to pick up scents, which is part of their natural breeding, can be a little bit of a problem during training exercises. Their attention span is considerably short and if they happen across a strange scent will abandon their training session and head out on the new trail. Their inbred desire to hunt makes them easily distracted in search of new smells and sights.

Beagles are not only great as family pets, as their ability to track scents allows them to work with many agencies where larger dogs may not be as efficient.

In some surroundings, such as airport where many people and children can quickly be intimidated by a large dog, a beagle puppy can be trained to search for contraband in luggage terminals as well as in finding illegal substances sought by agricultural departments.

In their earlier days of hunting, they were known for their stamina, enabling them to chase down a rabbit through all types of terrain while their handlers rode on horseback, often extending the hunt for several hours. It is this stamina that make them ideal for use in many situations where they refuse to give up until they have found what they have been instructed to locate.

While many still use the beagle breed for hunting purposes, they are more in demand as friendly and loyal pets.

If done properly by the owner, potty training should only take a few weeks at the most. There is no reason for it to take long unless the owner is not following through all of the time. If the training fails it is not because the puppy isn’t listening to the owner, but yet because the owner was not following through with the training steps all of the time.

During the Beagle potty training period, it is best that the puppy is not left alone to wander the house with no one watching. This is generally when accidents happen. As the owner, you must keep a watchful eye on your puppy day and night without fail. Also, do not leave food and water out for your puppy to nibble at all day long. This leads to more accidents then anything else. Control the meal times and make sure you let your puppy out five or ten minutes after they have finished their meal.

You also will want to take your puppy out every hour to the place where you allow them to go potty. Even though they did not just eat, they may still find they have to go. After they do, praise the puppy greatly so he or she understands that is the behavior that makes you happy.

This Beagle training can be done at any age whether the puppy is still a young one or has grown into an adult dog. It is never too late to potty train. Even an already potty trained dog may need retraining later down the road.

Being positive during the Beagle potty training process is not only a hard thing to do at times but it is also one of the most important things you can do to ensure all goes well. Never scold your puppy for their mistakes, as you do not want them to end up being afraid of you. You want your bond with your puppy to be a pleasant one so if a mistake does happen, simply clean it up without saying anything and then give praise when they do right.

They want to please you and soon will be seeking ways to make sure they get the kind gestures and words from you. Believe it or not, animals can suffer from emotional problems, which is often caused by fearing their owners.

Fearing the owner is a leading cause of bad behavior or emotional problems that lead to more accidents inside the home, which is the thing you are trying to avoid so be positive at all times.
