Lion and the stubbornness of a toddler

0:43
are known for their incredible sense of
0:45
smell one of the best in the K9 World
0:48
they were originally bred for hunting

rabbits and other small game which means

they have an innate ability to sniff out
0:53

speaking of fetching let's talk about
1:04
their energy levels beagles are like
1:06
little furry tornadoes they need

1:23
life so if you're considering adding a
1:25
beagle to your family be prepared for
1:27
daily walks playtime in the park and
1:29
perhaps even some agility training now
1:31
let's discuss their personalities
1:33
beagles are friendly and social
1:35
creatures they love being around people
1:37
and other dogs in fact they thrive on
1:40
companionship so much so that leaving
1:41
them alone for extended periods can lead
1:43
to some serious separation anxiety you
1:46
might come home to find your favorite
1:47
pair of shoes chewed up or your couch
1:49
cushions rearranged in ways you never
1:51
thought possible it's all part of their
1:53
charm but here's where it gets
1:55
interesting beagles can also be quite
1:57
stubborn this isn't just any
1:59
stubbornness it's a special kind that
2:01
seems to defy logic you might call them
2:03
for dinner and they'll look at you as if
2:05
you just ask them to solve a complex
2:06
math problem dinner sure but only after
2:10
I finish this very important
2:11
investigation into what's under the
2:13
couch it's like they have their own
2:15
agenda that doesn't involve listening to
2:16
you training a beagle requires patience
2:19
and creativity two things that are often
2:21
in short supply when dealing with these
2:23
delightful Little Devils positive
2:25
reinforcement works wonders they respond
2:27
well to treats and praise just remember
2:29
M if you're not consistent with your
2:31
commands or if you show any sign of
2:33
frustration they'll take that as an
2:35
invitation to do whatever they please
2:37
and let's not forget about their
2:38
vocalizations beagles are known for
2:40
their unique barks and howls that can
2:42
make them sound like miniature wolves on
2:44
the hunt whether it's alerting you to an
2:46
intruder or just expressing their
2:48
excitement about seeing you after 5
2:49
minutes apart their vocal talents are
2:51
impressive if not occasionally annoying
2:54
in summary beagles are wonderful
2:56
companions filled with energy curiosity
2:59
and personality they'll keep you on your
3:00
toes with their Antics and remind you
3:02
daily that life is too short not to
3:04
chase after what makes you happy even if
3:06
it means digging through the trash
3:07
occasionally so if you're ready for some
3:09
fun and Chaos wrapped in fur then a
3:11
beagle might just be the perfect
3:13
addition to your home
