Training is one of the most main parts of owning a Beagle. Through training, you are helping your Beagle become a well-behaved and attractive dog everybody loves. Training will also keep your dog safe because he is able to comprehend and do as you are told your control, helpful in emergency and risky situations.
However, a incorrect teaching approach may ruin your wishes of having a nicely trained dog. It helps if you are well-equipped with the right facts in teaching your beloved Labrador Retriever.
Beagle Puppy training - You can start training your dog when he is still a puppy. training a puppy six to eight weeks old is fine but you can start training earlier than that depending on your pup's features and reaction to teaching. It is easier to train a puppy because at this age, he might not have developed bad manners yet and if he has, it can easily be corrected. But take into account that teaching is not only for puppies, you can still teach old dogs new tricks.
Use helpful support - When you use positive reinforcement, you are adding or contribution something to your dog to increase the chance of repeating what he did properly. Giving him his pet treat after following your down control is an example of positive reinforcement.
Your voice matters - When you issue a command, it should be issued in the similar words and similar tone of voice. Use a friendly and excited voice when you provide commands like come and firm voice in instructions like down or stay. Avoid yelling or nagging at your dog.
Training sessions - Keep training sessions short and interesting. Fifteen-minute session is enough to keep your dog interested in the training. Focus on a single authority per session and always reward him with caring compliment or his favorite treat if he has successfully completed the command. Spend some time playing after the teaching to keep his interest.
Punishment - In order for your dog to perform properly, his errors must be corrected promptly. You can correct your dog by giving commands using a firm and sharp tone of voice. As much as possible, keep away from physical punishment. But if physical punishment is really necessary, especially dogs with harder temperament, a swift and gentle tug on his training collar is enough. Remember that punishment must only be issued when you catch your dog in the act of doing mistake. Your dog may not be aware of why he is being punished now for urinating in your living room 5 hours ago.
Foods feed the body, training feeds the mind. It is important for your Labrador Retriever to have all these.
