Getting your new beagle to come to you when you call them is absolutely vital
0:05
As you may or may not already know, these adorable dogs were originally bred to hunt hares
0:11
and their keen senses of smell, sight, and hearing can easily get the best of them
0:17
One surprise distraction is sometimes all it takes, and you'll find your beagle darting away
0:23
to investigate, and you'll likely have to chase them to keep them out of trouble
0:28
The good news is that teaching them to come to you is mostly a matter of love, patience, and persistence
0:35
And today, we're going to learn how to train your beagle to come to you when you call them
0:40
Don't worry, it's easier than you think. What you will need to get started
0:45
We'll need a few simple things to get started with this. The first is going to a container of treats that you know your beagle absolutely loves
0:54
These treats will provide you with a way to give your beagle a little positive reinforcement whenever they come to your call until they begin to associate obeying you with treats and by extension with a happy experience for everyone
1:10
Next, you will need to schedule 45 minutes a day of your time divided into three 15-minute sessions
1:18
Beagles can easily get bored and distracted, so it's necessary to keep the training short and fun
1:26
Finally, you'll need some indoor space with very few subjects so that you can teach your beagle to come to you in a distraction-free environment
1:35
For your dog's graduation training, which would be outside, you should also invest in a strong 1-inch thick and 25-foot long lead
1:47
Teaching your beagle to come when called. When your beagle is busy doing something in a distant corner of the house call their name or make an unusual sound A whistle may work fine And when you have your dog attention show them their favorite treat and say come here along with your dog name in a friendly voice Your beagle being a beagle
2:11
will come running to you, seeing their favorite treat in your hand, at which point you simply
2:16
give them the treat, along with a bit of love and praise. Do this multiple times a day whenever your
2:23
dog is busy doing something. While this sounds simplistic, this is really all that you will need
2:29
to do to teach your beagle to come to you when called. For now, you should give them a treat each
2:34
time they come to you. But once your beagle has learned the command, you should switch to providing
2:40
a treat one out of three times and simply giving them petting and praise instead. Doing this
2:47
multiple times a day, your beagle will learn quickly. But you will need to be patient
2:52
Every dog is different, and some dogs may take a little longer to learn things
2:58
Once your dog has learned to come to you on command inside you must try this command in a secure backyard or in an open park after attaching a long lead In the beginning chances are high that your beagle may get too distracted sniffing things or trying to chase a small animal and may not obey your command
3:20
For that, first, let them sniff everything around them when they are attached to the lead
3:26
And when they are done, call out the command and show them the treat
3:30
they will come running to you. Of course, you will have to be consistent and patient with this
3:36
training. And let me tell you that beagles are infamous for running away. As hunting dogs
3:42
beagles simply cannot help themselves. And a squirrel, or simply an unfamiliar scent
3:49
is sometimes all it takes to send your beagle barreling off to investigate
3:53
Chasing a scent or an animal, even the strongest recall training can fail
3:58
So I do not recommend ever taking them out in public without a lead
