Our evil beagle's name is Lady (Lady Bird). We have also nick named her "The Beast" for obvious reasons. She will be 2 years old in June. Don't get me wrong, we love our little monster and I can't imagine living life without her. She's definitely taught us that we have way too many shoes, clothes, toys, dishes, pens/pencils, furniture, etc. She has also taught us that we play too many video games and watch too much TV (yes, she ate controllers). She is a thief and a pack rat. She has special hiding places for anything that she finds and wants to chew on later. One place being under my bed. On the other hand, she is very sweet, affectionate, loves to cuddle and get attention. She's very spoiled and very smart. She knows exactly what is acceptable behavior and what we expect of her. It doesn't always mean she won't try me (like any kid). After reading a few posts here and there, I am fully aware that Lady will not grow out of her "bad habits". Those things they do, that we all hate, is normal behavior for all Beagles. Either some of you can handle it or some of you can't. The one thing I've learned, that's worked the best, is to treat your beagle like a baby or a toddler. Keep things kept high and out of reach, clear your floors of ANY AND EVERYTHING (your kids' toys, shoes, etc), have a daily routine, and most importantly remember that YOU are the boss and not your Beagle. For some of you with younger Beagles, they do go through an aggressive stage. During this stage they are trying to be dominant and are testing you to see who is really the boss or leader of the pack. Keep a firm upper hand and let your little one know that he or she does not rule the roost. You are the lead dog! You are in charge. Correct his or her behavior! If you don't, you'll be sorry. So now, they have come to understand that they can't bully you but what about your kids??? Yes, she/he will try to show your kids who is boss. They must do the same thing you did. Stand up to the little monster! I wish the best to all of you with these sweet little kids (I mean pets) and enjoy your life with them! I'd love to keep in touch with all of you and hear more of your stories as time goes on. My email address is bncdobyns1@q.com Please keep in touch and I'll check back here regularly too.

He has done this many times since he was a puppy. The vet said he is looking for nutrients that he is not getting in his food and i put him on science diet. he is still having the same problem. Any Ideas? thanks. My beagle has been licking everything he can off of the ground and throwing it up repetitiously for the past few days. He has done this many times since he was a puppy.

]]> Comment on Crating your Beagle. by BeagleBay http://www.allthingsbeagle.com/blog/?p=11#comment-45 BeagleBay Tue, 25 Aug 2009 12:17:58 +0000 http://www.allthingsbeagle.com/blog/?p=11#comment-45 We have two beagles. One just turned 1 year the other is 10mos they have been together for 6mos. They both sleep in the same little bed during the day, they both sleep in the bed with us at night. The only time they are not together is when we leave the house for no more than 4hrs. We crate them during these times. Right now they each still have their own crate.. They both are very good at going into their crates on command and no doubt enjoy their rest time while in them. The older beagles crate is now too small. We are wondering if we should by a new crate for the older and pass down the other crate to the smaller dog and to continue to keep them seperated? Or if we should just get one larger carate for both? Or should get a larger crate for the one, keep the smaller the other and then use the larger one on the occasions we travel and put both dogs together? We have two beagles.

She fits the pictures I have seen but doesnt have yellow or green eyes. Her eyes are brown, but surrounded by yellow. I adopted her as a beagle mix from a beagle rescue. I have read that this strain of beagle died out long ago. can anyone confirm/deny? I have been told by my vet and others that i have a Warfield Red Beagle.

]]> Comment on Training Collars by Elizabeth http://www.allthingsbeagle.com/blog/?p=8#comment-43 Elizabeth Wed, 05 Aug 2009 02:37:59 +0000 http://www.allthingsbeagle.com/blog/?p=8#comment-43 I just thought I would make a suggestion. The next time you go to the pet-store, put a prong collar around your arm/leg and then put a choke collar around your arm/leg. Which one hurts worse? Which one gets your attention faster? You might be surprised. If you are really brave, put it around your neck and try the same thing. Prong collars are less painful in all three instances. They don't harm the dogs sensitive trachea, the dog isn't likely to hurt its neck or shoulder (as in the Halti and Gentle Leader) and it is very effective at mimicking how a mother would get a young puppies attention.
