Beagles are a breed that was bred to hunt rabbits. The dogs are stubborn and hardy, they took the trail even when it was raining, and did not leave it until the prey was caught. Despite the fact that these animals are born hunters, they feel quite comfortable in an apartment. One has only to properly care for them and not to forget about the decent education of puppies.

Like any other breed of dog, the beagle has both positive and negative qualities. Of the advantages there are several.

• The dogs are extremely friendly, good to any person. They will rejoice at the arrival of guests, they will become the best friend of children. If the person who came to visit the owner of the beagle has food with him, the pet will adore him. Animals of this breed will not bark when they hear the sound of an opening door. If there are other dogs in the house, the new pet will only be pleased with this fact, will quickly make friends with them.
• If the family has children who need a nanny, the dog will be able to take on this responsibility. The beagle, like a small child, likes games, so they will find a common language without any problems. Dogs do not offend the little owners, allow them to do whatever they want.

• Puppies are very hyperactive and inquisitive, try to try everything that is around them. Beagles and in adulthood remain so, if the owner can not wean them from this habit. If you do not put things away, they will be nibbled.
• Pets suffer from loneliness, so it is not recommended to leave them alone in the apartment for a long time. They need care, and often dogs need attention. If you do not take into account this fact, the animal can turn the house into a real nightmare. Wallpaper will be torn off, skirting torn off, and the furniture is bitten with strong teeth.
• Dogs have hard hair that constantly falls out, so you will often have to do general cleaning, during which a large amount of wool is collected. If you do not sweep the floor every day, you will see a not very nice "wool" carpet. This also applies to sofas and other furniture.
• Stubborn breed is incredibly vindictive, animals always achieve what they want. If the owner offends his pet with something, the pet may nibble his shoes, furniture or go to the toilet where it is impossible to do so.
• Despite the fact that the Bigley are pretty friendly to people, they really do not like small animals. They aggressively treat cats, hamsters and other rodents, birds and other small pets. Dogs consider them easy prey.
• Beagle loves to eat. If the owner only once gives the dog something from the table, she will beg for delicacies constantly not only from him, but also from visiting guests.

Before the puppy arrives at the new house, you need to organize your own place for it. It can be done in a bright corner of the room where people are often located.It is better to choose places without drafts and those that are located away from the battery. A comfortable couch is placed there or a comfortable house is placed that would fit the dog in size.

Not too easy to teach a pet to any one place. Most often it is worn throughout the house, and then falls asleep where it is tired. If the dog chooses some place on its own, it is necessary to place its couch there. And also for the pet purchased a small amount of toys. Some of them are placed on the bed, others are distributed in the apartment. They are necessary so that in the absence of the owners the dog does not try to taste various things.

You can keep bigley in a cage, if the apartment is quite large. The dog will not be against such a "house", as in the kennels little puppies are in the aviary. You can close the pet in a cage before you leave the house for a long time. But do not forget to put inside all the toys and a bowl filled with water.

To the curiosity of the animal did not harm the owner's things, you should put them away in places that are inaccessible to the dog. Medicines, cosmetics, food and any gadgets should be placed in cabinets that should be closed. It is also important to hide the wires in the cable channels. The dog should not fall on the unglazed balcony.

There are several basic rules for keeping dogs.

• Caring for your pet is not too difficult. It should be washed 3-5 times a year, using shampoo for short-haired dogs. If in the process of walking the beagle soiled its fur (which happens quite often), you should gently wipe the paws and other areas with a wet washcloth. Some quickly rinse the dog in the shower, and then wipe dry.
• Careful care is needed behind the ears of dogs of this breed, otherwise they may get sick. It should be cleaned every 7 days with a cotton swab. After walking the ears are examined for dirt and parasites. The eyes of animals should shine and be clean. If there are any secretions, you need to get rid of them, using a cotton swab or cotton pad dipped in tea brewing. Some use a decoction of chamomile. If the problems are more serious, for example, redness, swelling, the appearance of mucus, you should immediately contact a specialist.
• After walks, paw pads are checked, on which there should be no damage. If there are wounds, they are treated with a special ointment. Beagles living in an apartment do not grind their claws badly, so you need to cut them. This is done by cutting pliers, which can be purchased at a specialty store.
• The beagle is a dog that tries to taste literally everything not only in the house, but also on the street. To avoid diseases of the oral cavity, you need to brush your pet's teeth every 30 days. Pasta should be purchased at the pet store, as the usual is not suitable for dogs.

So that the pet does not crush the apartment, you need to walk it about 2-3 hours per day. He not only goes to the toilet, but also throws out the energy that he has accumulated. To fully walk the dog, you need to participate in games with her. It is better if the owner can take his pet out of the city (to the forest or to the country) once a week, where the animal can run.

On the street, the pet will not remember the team that the owner taught him, since there is no delicacy-encouragement in the hands of a person. Hunter's instinct will prevail before training. If the dog is enough to walk up, running around in open space, he will behave more calmly indoors.

It is necessary to teach a puppy to the fact that you can not sleep on the bed of the owners.If you only once regret the dog and take her to bed, she will constantly climb on the bed and will not even look at her own place. Even if you feel sorry for your pet, looking into his sad eyes, you must send the dog to his place.

The dogs are quite clever, they can easily be trained, but only if the owner gives a certain delicacy for the execution of commands. If in the hands of a person there is no yummy, the dog pretends that he is very stupid and does not understand anything. And if there are children nearby, he will not listen to the owner and will pay attention to other, more interesting things for him.

It is important to teach him to be careful, to maintain hygiene and wean the animal to spoil pieces of furniture and clothing. Puppies are trained only if the owner has a hard, moderately strict voice. Do not shout too much and scold the dog, as it can do the opposite, for stubbornness is the main trait of her character.

Owners must be prepared for the fact that the period from 5 months is the most difficult to bring up. At this age, puppies are very capricious, so before the onset of this period it is better to let the animals know who is the boss and whose teams need to be carried out. It is quite difficult to educate dogs of this breed, you should stock up with a large number of forces and iron restraint.

Beagles cannot focus on training because there are so many more amusing things around. To pet interest in training still had, you need to train him in the format of the game. Education should be given 10-15 minutes 2-3 times a day.

If puppies are active and obedient, they need to be given a treat, but not sweet or salty. First, the dog must learn the basic commands, for example, “Fu!”, “Toilet!” And “Location!”. They will help your pet learn how to behave indoors. Later, the owner can move on to more complex instructions: “Give me a paw!” And so on. This will help keep the dog clean after walking.

Judging by the reviews that leave the owners of the dogs, the beagle feels pretty good in the apartment. But if the owners do not want to spend a lot of energy to raise an obedient dog, and also do not want to put up with spoiled furniture and shoes, you should get a puppy of another breed. To get along with such a dog, a person must be as patient as possible.

Bigley will not be friends with a cat or a cat. Therefore, if there are felines in the house, it is better not to start a dog of this breed. Pets will constantly fight, run around the rooms and will surely spoil something.

Animals are friendly and incredibly loyal. But in order to bring a favorite only positive emotions, you need to properly train and educate him. If the dog does not clearly know where its place is, what it can and cannot do, cohabitation with it may not be too pleasant.
