House training tips for my new beagle puppy?

Beagles are alot harder to train. Most people say they just "live with" their beagle. That they do what they want, when they want. They are extremely hard to train. But when done right, they make excellent pets. I'd start by using puppy pads for when you just let the dog roam. BUT the best thing and the quickest. Is being on top of the dog for the first few weeks. Every time it squats to pee, pick it up and put it outside. Give it a treat when it "potties" outside. Also, come up with one word to use. I use "potty". Praise the dog, "Good Potty" and get really excited that they did it outside. The more animated you are, the better the dog understands. Don't ever spank the dog or rub its nose in the potty when it does it in the house. That only causes the dog to be scared of what it just did. Not where they did it. There are all sorts of training books online for beagles. Also, if you are having a tough time, there should be dog trainers in your area you could get tips from.

I have had Beagle pups and they aren't that hard to train these dogs like it outside, just make sure you take her out every half hour for the first little while make sure when you see her pee or poop on the floor give her a loud yelp and take her to the door. These dogs can be very good both in the house and out. They can be very needy though and if you live in an appartment your not going to love having her there. They need frequent outside time and lots of love. They can be chewers and they may nip but stop the nipping as soon as you can as they are not normally aggressive dogs but can become agressive quickly.

Hi tlb! I think that you will be very happy with your new beagle puppy! They are very sweet dogs and good with children! They are trainable, but maybe just a bit slower learners then some other breads. I think Candi will do just fine if you have patience with her. Is she house broken at all? Is she paper trained? If she is not paper trained you just have to keep putting her on the paper and don't punish or yell at her if she has an accident. That only makes them scarred and they don't understand anyway. Once she is paper trained you start bringing the paper outside to start training her to go outside. She is still very young. You have gotten her before she has learned any bad habits which is great. If you have any questions I will be glad to answer them. I had a dog that was part beagle and sweet as can be.

I've never used a crate to train any dog. I have two German Shepherds (the youngest is even now only 8 months old). When I was training my puppy, I simply remembered to take him outside frequently. Always go out immediately after food and drink. As he squats to go, tell him "do wee" or 'go pee' or whatever command you want him to remember. As he does his business, tell him that same command again. When he's done, praise him enormously! Give him cuddles, pat him, give him a treat. Let him know good things happen when he does good things. He'll begin to repeat the good behavior in order to get more praise from you. If he goes inside, NEVER punish him. Making him think his normal business is bad by rubbing his nose in it simply teaches a puppy to fear you. You don't want a beagle to fear an owner. EVER. If he does go inside, simply clean it up and ignore him completely. If he comes to you, bare your teeth at him like you're snarling, but say nothing. Dogs HATE to be ignored, so he'll learn that he gets no attention by doing this and it will stop. Good luck!

I have never had a beagle, but I have found that crating a dog helps the most with housetraining, because they don't like to soil where they sleep. Also they can't hide someplace and go when you're not around! Another trick I learned is to have one specific place in the yard where you want her to go, and take her there every time. When she has an accident, keep the towel you use to mop it up (this sounds gross but works!!) and when you take her to her "potty place" outside, put that towel down. She'll smell it, and associate that place with that smell.
