Owner guide - Beagles are easier to train and less likely to wander if they are neutered or spayed
Beagles are easier to train and less likely to wander if they are neutered or spayed when they are six months old. Beagles can sniff out food anywhere, so be sure any food is placed well out of reach. Beagles give off a strong odor compared to other dogs; this is normal, and you will get used to it.

Puppy care - Expose your beagle puppy to as many environments and factors
Expose your beagle puppy to as many environments and factors as possible before they are 14 weeks old. Puppies are most impressionable between the ages of 8 and 14 weeks. Take the puppy to the vet, for a car ride, visiting friends, give him a bath, turn on a vacuum cleaner--anything you can think of.

Puppy care - Exercise your beagle puppy every day
Exercise your beagle puppy every day. Since beagles were bred to run with fox hunters, they need exercise to keep from putting on weight and stay focused during training sessions. According to the ASPCA, beagles need at least one brisk 30 minute walk a day, plus an opportunity to run around in the yard. A tired beagle is less prone to make mischief.

Puppy care - Train you puppy
Use positive reinforcement and offer food as a reward. Determine the beagle's favorite treat, and reward him if he comes when you call. Training sessions shouldn't be more than a few minutes long.

Puppy care - Choose a potty area outside for the puppy
Choose a potty area outside for the puppy before bringing her inside your home. As soon as she squats, praise her and bring her inside. Whenever you see the puppy walking in circles sniffing, she's just about to urinate or defecate. Beagle puppies catch onto the idea in anywhere from a few days to a few months.
