Basic Beagle Obedience Tips

Training needs to be a positive and enjoyable situation for both you and the Beagle. If you are not in the best mindset for training, do not even start. Always treat the Beagle for following your commands expediently! A prize is anything that your Beagle wants and is willing to work for. Food is an obvious reward but other rewards could be verbal admiration and playthings. Multiple brief training sessions are typically more effective than a single long one. Training mustn’t involve any negative comments or consequences. There should be no shouting, no hitting or smacking, no chain jerking on training chains or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Every single training opportunity must be enjoyable and confidence-building with rewards for a job well done.

Training Beagles with head collars

Pulling on the lead is one of the few displeasing requirements of raising a new Beagle puppy. Utilizing a head collar for Beagle training has become standard in the last decade. Training with a head collar does have some benefits over the standard training collar. Even though it is quite simple to utilize, it is important that head collars are fitted properly and your Beagle correctly introduced to the collar. Head collars are pretty much more intuitive to use than a typical training collar. Head collars are very powerful when controlling Beagles in difficult situations.
