When I adopted my first beagle, I had no idea about raising a dog
0:04
I didn't know when to expect what. Well, I learned it the hard way
0:09
but this video will walk you through the various growth stages of beagles
0:15
Before we begin, I recently launched membership on this channel and there are a lot of interesting
0:21
and helpful perks for beagle owners, so do check them out. From birth to three weeks old
0:28
After birth, the pup's eyes and ears remain closed for the entire week
0:33
During this time, all the puppies need to be close to their mother to absorb her body heat
0:38
They grow quickly, and by the end of the week, their weight will be almost double
0:43
During the first three weeks, they continue to grow and gain weight. In the third week, they can see and hear better
0:49
They can even stand up and walk a few steps. Four to six weeks old
0:53
During this time, you will see the puppy's true personality. They will start walking, running, whining, and also nipping
1:03
You can start introducing puppy food to their diet. This is the time when puppies learn necessary socialization skills from their mother and
1:12
other littermates. They learn the correct way of interacting with other beings
1:18
8 to 12 weeks old is the correct age to bring the pup to their new home By this age they are ready to start their new journey This is also the right time to crate train and house train them By the way this is also
1:33
when they will be teething, so be prepared for lots of biting and nipping. You can watch
1:39
this video on how to stop puppy biting. By this age, the puppy will become quite playful and energetic, but you must continue with
1:50
all their training. You will have to consider taking him for short walks. It's also the
1:54
right age to start teaching them new tricks and commands. At around 6 or 7 months, the beagle would have completed half of his body growth. A female
2:04
puppy might have her first heat during this time. Male as well as female pups will become
2:10
sexually mature. A male pup may start humping on pillows, toys… It's completely normal
2:20
By 8 months old, your pup will start looking like a dog
2:24
He will be more energetic and sexually active, unless you neuter him
2:31
By 1 year, your beagle puppy will become an adult dog. His growth rate will slow down, but he will continue to grow until he is 18 months old
2:41
This is the time when you must switch from puppy food to dog food
2:44
I hope all your doubts regarding your beagle's growth and development have been cleared
