Beagle (Detailed Introduction)

       Is the Beagle suitable for guarding the house? Beagles have a cute appearance and a lively personality, but they are also very alert, so they are relatively suitable as guard dogs. Beagles belong to hunting dogs, and research shows that their best training period should be during their youth, between 2 and 6 months old. If you want to train a Beagle to guard the house, you should focus on training during this time period.

       Many owners have different opinions about whether Beagles can guard the house well. Some owners believe they can complete this task excellently, while others think they are not suitable for guarding. To make a Beagle excel at guarding, training, nurturing, and guiding from a young age are indispensable. To ensure the dog performs well in guarding, consistent training is required.

       During the entire training process, guide the Beagle to start barking when strangers enter the house, to alert the family. At the same time, the dog should corner the stranger, waiting for the owner's instructions. This is the highest level of guarding by the dog: timely alerting the owner without impulsively attacking or biting.

       Training a Beagle must be persistent and never abandoned halfway. During training, the pet must be disciplined with clear rewards and punishments. If the Beagle completes the training tasks well, the owner should generously praise it; of course, if the Beagle avoids training or misbehaves, the owner should justly scold it.

       Actually, the Beagle’s naturally alert personality is well suited for guarding, although some training is still necessary. After receiving good training, the Beagle can definitely perform the guarding task very well.
