In our life, Beagles are not as common as abroad, but Beagles are actually very lively dogs. This kind of dog likes exercise, often barks, and enjoys a lot of physical activity like sled dogs. So, as a type of hunting dog, how should we train Beagles to guard the home?

Beagle Guarding

Beagle (Detailed Introduction)

The scientific name of Beagle is Meigelu Harehound; it is a world-renowned breed that belongs to the hunting dog category. It is popular in many countries such as the United States and Japan. The most distinctive feature of the Beagle is its pair of large ears. Of course, many owners will ask before raising Beagles whether this dog can guard the home. How should Beagles be trained to learn guarding during the raising process?

First of all, Beagles belong to hunting dogs. Research shows that the best training time is during their puppyhood, between 2 to 6 months old. If you want to train Beagles to guard, then you should pay attention to training during this period. Cultivate their awareness of guarding the home, and training on techniques is also necessary.

Whether Beagles can guard the home, different owners hold different views. Some believe Beagles can effectively complete guarding tasks; however, some owners think Beagles cannot serve as guard dogs. Of course, regardless of the guard potential, if you really want them to guard, training, cultivating, and guiding them from an early age is essential. To let the dog excellently complete guarding duties, consistent training is necessary.

Throughout the training process, guide the Beagle to start barking when strangers enter the home to alert the family. At the same time, the dog should drive the stranger into a corner and wait for the owner's instructions. (This is the highest alert level for dog guarding, which can timely remind the owner while avoiding impulsive attacks or bites.)

Finally, a reminder to everyone: training Beagles requires perseverance and cannot be abandoned halfway. During training, pets must be treated strictly with clear rewards and punishments. If the Beagle successfully completes training tasks, the owner should not hesitate to praise and reward it; of course, if the Beagle evades training or misbehaves, owners should also justly reprimand it.
