The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible - Arthur C. Clarke
Training beagles should be a fun and rewarding activity for both you and your dog. No doubt it will sometimes be challenge, beagles are notorious for being quite a handful when they want to be. If you persist you should however see that you beagle begins to respect your authority and really just wants to please you.
By nature, these dogs are inquisitive and like to test boundaries whenever possible. This is one of the reasons why training beagles can be slightly more difficult than training other species of dogs. When you do begin to succeed though, you will realise just how intelligent and loyal a pet beagle is.
There are various steps you take in order to make sure your training programme is as effect and as fun as possible. New dog owners often forget the fun part, but training should be enjoyable for you and your beagle.
When it seems like your puppy just wants to ignore you and do his or her own thing, it is vital that you remain consistent in your methods. When training beagles, never let your dog feel that you have lost control or that you are just giving up on him. As we have mentioned, beagles love to test boundaries so make sure you keep your dog in line without punishing them too harshly by threatening, hitting or shouting at him.
As soon as you begin to make it clear what kind of behaviour is acceptable verses what is not, you will find that your dog will respect your unwritten rules. It will just take him a little while to work out what he can and cannot do.
