Book Description
These cheerful canines have been trained as hunters since the dawn of history, but they also make affectionate house pets. Here's everything the neophyte owner needs to know about the Beagle and its traits. Training Your Dog books teach ordinary non-expert dog owners how to train their own pets. Virtually every aspect of training is covered, with special focus on the distinctive traits of individual breeds. Dog owners are instructed on humane but effective methods of housebreaking and paper training, obedience training, teaching the dog to respond to verbal commands and hand signals, walking on a leash, and more. Also covered are methods of correcting bad habits such as begging, unwanted barking, and showing hostile behavior. There are many instructive, full-color photos in each book.
From the Author
Training your Beagle to behave appropriately is a fundamental part of responsible dog ownership. In this new book, the author presents a positive training program through which your beagle will learn acceptable manners and behavior, making him a more welcome member of the family. The author's training methods are tailored specifically to the distinctive breed characteristics of the often "independent minded", but lovable beagle.
Included are chapters on selecting your new beagle companion, breed history, and everything from basic manners training through participation in advanced activities (such as conformation shows, competitive obedience, agility, hunting and field trials, therapy dog work and more).
