Training Your Beagle

Training Your Dog

by Kristine Kraeuter

These cheerful canines have been trained as hunters since the dawn of history, but they also make affectionate house pets. Here's everything the neophyte owner needs to know about the Beagle and its traits. Training Your Dog books teach ordinary non-expert dog owners how to train their own pets. Virtually every aspect of training is covered, with special focus on the distinctive traits of individual breeds. Dog owners are instructed on humane but effective methods of housebreaking and paper training, obedience training, teaching the dog to respond to verbal commands and hand signals, walking on a leash, and more. Also covered are methods of correcting bad habits such as begging, unwanted barking, and showing hostile behavior. There are many instructive, full-color photos in each book.

This book has some good tips for training and obedience showing how to properly teach a dog areas such as walking, staying and controlling behavior. However, the reference to debarking being a potential option is inhumane. and the suggestion to put garlic on the dogs food to prevent later eating of his own feces is downright dangerous.

This book has got lots of good tidbits from choosing a puppy, to training your puppy or dog, to competing with your Beagle or working your Beagle (such as a hunting or therapy dog). It doesn't go into a lot of detail, but it gives you references to further your education in whichever direction you choose to. Good for beginner Be able owners.

I thought all the pictures of adorable beagles in this book rate 5 stars. There is also a whole lot of good information as well. I never heard of a “nose hug” before this book, but realized my dog had almost trained me to do it. She really does seem to enjoy it, now that I understand it’s what she wants.
