Teach
your Beagle how to understand words and to relate them to objects. |

When I want Bailey
to understand that his new toy duck is called a “duck” I always
refer to it as “duck” I will make sure that the first week he
has the duck that I sit him down in front of me and show him
the toy and tell him “duck” while pointing to it. I will do
this many times a day until he knows that when he hears the
words “go get the" (which have been taught before hand) and
“duck” to go and get the duck for me.
After a few days or so he will understand that “duck” means
his toy duck... Read

Tips
for successful Beagle Training |
| |
Beagles are so intelligent and easy to train. Our little
girl Beagle was named Easy simply because of that. She was
a couple of months old when we adopted her. Within a few weeks,
she was going to the front door when she had to go out. We
started training her to go out the first day we brought her
home. Once an hour, we asked her, Do you have to go out? Then,
we went out and said... Read

Nutrition - Beagles and Food |
| |
Beagles have a propensity for food. I do truly believe that
if they could, they would eat to death. Twenty to twenty-five
pounds is the most a beagle should weigh, depending upon their
height. As they age, it is very hard to keep the weight off
and a strict diet is the best way to keep a beagle healthy.
Of course, any loving beagle will try to make you feel guilty
for not feeding them every time you... Read

Care and Wellness - Beagle Ear Care |

Beagles have an incredible sense of hearing. Their ears are
long and floppy. They are very important to a beagle for tracking
. A beagle tracks by a combination of senses. They use the
sense of smell and the sense of hearing. Beagles put their
noses close to the ground . Their long ears also flop close
to the ground. The ears have folds that capture sound and
point them in the direction of the thing they are tracking...

Care and Wellness - Beagles and Shedding |
| |
Although beagles are short- haired and don't
need to be groomed, they do need to be brushed. They will shed,
sometimes a lot if the environment is dry and warm. They will
get a thicker coat during the cool, winter months. They should
still have a sweater on if the temperature is low. But, they
grow an extra furry undercoat during... Read

Activities and Sports - Activities and Exercise for Beagles |
| |
Beagles love to run
and chase after balls and toys. They can easily be taught to
bring it back if you use consistent commands. They also like
to tease and will run up to you with the toy and then run off
so you will chase them. Patience and repeating the command you
chose to teach them will work if you keep at it. As I stated
above, beagles love to chase and evade. A fun game is to run
up to them and they run away. Then they come back to chase...

Beagles
and Traveling |
| |
Beagles love to go places and dislike being left out of any
family excursion. They learn the signs of a departure and
wait for you at the door and start to get excited if they
know you are going to take them along. For instance, your
beagle will learn that when you put on your shoes, it is a
sure sign that you are going outside. And, when you pick up
the car keys or your purse, that means you are taking the
car and... Read

Adoption Stories - Bailey's Adoption Story |
| |
A year later we were
living in Oregon and saw an ad in the paper that said "Beagle
free to good home" and jumped at it. So we gave them a call
and set up a time to meet them and Bailey. When we got to their
house it was a COLD day below 40 degrees with rain and snow
showers. Poor Bailey was sitting outside in their very small
cement back yard on a soaking wet bed just looking through the
glass door... Read
