There are times I choose not to take my beagles to places if I’m concerned the location isn’t ‘beagle’ friendly. Make sure you have treats in your pocket to reward positive behavior and poop bags to pick up any poops on the walk. All ourbeagle puppies have been crate trained; it’s an effective aid to use for training your puppy.
Beagles are fantastic dogs to have in your family; they are cute and have such a lovely nature. But they are not the easiest dog breed to own and do require a level of training and patience, from the start. You should not introduce your dog to your home when it will be out of sorts, or you will have lots of people over. This includes major holidays, or if you have relatives visiting.

You’ll need to protect any carpeted areas in your home for the first few weeks. A properly socialized puppy will meet a great variety of people, male and female, of different ages. Shyness kicks in at an early age and pups should be well socialized before they are 13 weeks old. I am a parent of two adorable beagles and I share everything I learn about them, along with lots of tips, tricks, and advice.
You will want to keep things as normal as possible for your Beagle puppy. Treats – You need to have treats to reward your Beagle when you begin training him. It also wouldn’t hurt to give him a special little treat upon his arrival to make him feel loved and welcome. Puppies need mental stimulation to exercise their brains and feel happy! You can swap the food bowl for a puzzle toy, snuffle mat, or slow feeder to boost their cognitive skills—smell, sight, hearing, and more!
Guide your Beagle at home.
When your new Beagle arrives at its home for the first time, you need to make sure you have everything that your beagle will need. Although Beagles are easy pets to take care of, some things aren’t just meant to be together, and it can happen to you and your pet. Breeders contribute a significant part to every Beagle’s well-being, and it goes a long way even after you take it home. Thus, you must understand how important it is to pick a reputable Beagle breeder.
I find putting on headphones and listening to music helps to avoid the temptation of going to see them. As everything is new for your puppy, give her lots of reassurance. Keep introductions low-key to avoid overwhelming them. Try not to smother your puppy but playing with her and giving her a gentle scratch is an excellent way to start bonding with her. Remove any price tags or packaging off your puppy’s new toys. A puppy should never be left alone for long periods of time.
Socialization. Socialization. Socialization.
He should be supervised or at least within your vision in his “doggie den” at all times during these early days. Take him with you from room to room, giving him a chance to explore under your watchful eye. Of course, your pup will need to leave the house for walks, veterinary visits, and to be fussed over by your neighbors. So you’ll need to take safety precautions outside the home, as well. Download this e-book for guidance on these questions and other important factors to consider when looking for a puppy. The laws often exclude nonprofit animal shelters or humane societies from these limitations.
Be sure to check with your veterinarian for appropriate feeding amounts, as the feeding instructions on many dog food labels can be misleading. You’d naturally want this cheerful breed in your home soon. The best place to find a beagle puppy is directly from a breeder, a pet store or from organized beagle rescue programs.
Because you’re airing the word quiet with their barking. Pup has to stop barking first and then we can pair that silence with the word quiet. Anytime you correct your pup using the eh-eh, you have to redirect them to what you want them to be doing instead. For this reason we don’t ever want to use our dog’s name in low corrective tones. This means you will be teaching your puppy their name means tune in to you when you call it. This is the difference between a puppy who knows how to politely sit to say hi vs one that jumps all over everyone to say hi.
Remember that a well bred, health tested and well cared for Beagle puppy will cost the best part of $1000 dollars. That is just the initial cost of bringing the puppy home. He should be on a proper schedule with all his training and grooming. The best part of being a dog parent is that you can show off cool tricks that your adorable dog can do.
This is a lively, active breed though, and Beagles can be noisy. They are not always well suited to apartment life and need plenty of exercise. It’s a more expensive operation with a longer recovery time than neutering a male puppy.
Crate training your puppy is relatively easy to do, requires commitment, and shouldn’t be rushed. When you bring your pup into the house, she may need to go pee or poop. So, take her to your designated place outside for her to go. As soon as she does pee or poop, reward her with a treat and lots of praise.
You cannot just switch the food brand or the variant all of a sudden. You’ll want to make sure your puppy is not overtired which leads to extra biting and doesn’t have a ton of pent up energy which also leads to more biting. I use a firm eh-eh when I need to stop my pup from doing something. Kids sitting on the floor tend to want to grab the puppy, hug, kiss, and overwhelm puppy too fast. Once pup is feeling more comfortable and confident, have one child at a time, move to the floor, not all at once. If you’re introducing a new puppy to kids… advise all kids to be calm, quiet, and to sit in a chair upon first meeting the puppy.
It’s your puppy’s first day, so don’t force things, let him do anything he wants. Make sure you or one of your family is around him all the time. Do not leave him alone, he will stress out, and it can affect his health. Eight weeks is a suitable age to bring your beagle puppy home. You will have to take extreme care of your puppy during these days.
