Basic Kerry Beagle Obedience Tips

Training needs to be a pleasant and enjoyable experience for both you and the Kerry Beagle. If you are not in the right mood for training, don’t even begin. Always reward the Kerry Beagle for heeding your commands to the letter! A prize is anything that your Kerry Beagle desires and is willing to work for. Snacks are an obvious reward but different rewards could be oral commendation and toys. Several shorter training sessions are demonstrated to be better than a single long one. Training must not contain any degrading components or punishment. There should be no yelling, no smacking or hitting, no leash jerking on training chains or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Every single training opportunity is to be enjoyed and reinforcing with praise for a job well done.
