What is the best way to transfer a beagle from her main home to mine?

Paul — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 23:26:51 +0000

My husband and I are picking up Anna the beagle. She is turning 5. What should I expect to see happen when I bring her home to live with us?

Just take it slow. Let her explore. But keep an eye on her. I foster dogs so when I first bring them home (they have to be introduced to my other dogs one by one in the front yard but you don't have that)
I allow them to move around as much as they like. I have fostered some who have had serious anxiety and holed up in one of my open kennels in the house for weeks.

They would come out to eat, drink and go outside to potty. After a while they would venture out more and more.

It is really all according to the dog. Anna may be anxious and stressed. You don't want to encourage this. I don't recommend the 'treat' thing. When a dog is stressed, giving treats encourages that behavior and often makes them nauseous.

I would give her a couple of days and just watch. Then I would walk her. Walking around the neighborhood is good exercise and a way for you to start the bonding.

Good luck!!!

For those of you that think this is cruel, please know that we were attempting to save this dog from the pound and because we work for a living we needed to cage the animal during the day to keep it from destroying the house and hurting itself.

How To Choose A Dog For The Family

Paul — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 04:20:53 +0000

In choosing a dog for the family, it is a good idea we keep the children in mind. Some dogs are not tolerant of children and can be a threat to them. There are many breeds of dogs out there to choose from. Do your homework to see which one works the best with your family and especially your children.

By far the number one best dog breed for children hands down, would have to be, you guessed it, Labrador Retriever. This dog is well accepted because of its good nature. It is not generally aggressive or hyper. It is playful, easy-going, intelligent and patient. No wonder it is loved by the young and old. Because of its mild manner, it is first choice in working with the handicapped. It is has desire to please as if it knows its plight. The Lab is also a great pick if you have other animals. They are very accommodating. A well taken care of Lab can live up to 13 years. In order to reduce boredom in these dogs, they should be kept active. These dogs love playing in the yard or taking walks.

Number two on the list is the Golden Retriever. They are similar to the Lab in their personality. They are also mild mannered, kind and they enjoy being around people. They too are a top pick for working with the handicapped as well as the elderly. They too get along with other pets. These dogs are intelligent creatures to train. Playing fetch is a favorite game for them. Because of their playful nature, this breed of dog would be great for an older child who enjoys the outdoors. Regular grooming is required because of their long hair.

The next pick is the Beagle. Even though they have a baying bark, they are not aggressive dogs. What their barking does say about them is they make great watch dogs. These dogs have a friendly demeanor about them. Their tails seem to be in an unending wagging motion. Because friendliness comes natural with them, they do not like being left alone. They become bored when left by themselves for too long. They are great picks for smaller children because of their size.

Another great pick for children is the Basset Hound. They are generally docile, yet they are known for their stubbornness. They are also known for their gentleness and are quite sweet by nature. They are great with children of all ages and enjoy attention from them.

The German shepherd is another pick. Again, these are probably best for older children who enjoy playing outdoors. Because of their size and strength, they are probably not suitable for younger children. German Shepherds are known for their loyalty. Police often use this type of dog for search and rescue missions. They are protective by nature and are quite tolerant. It is best to start training these dogs as pups. Without training, they can be a handful.

The black and white spotted Dalmatian is associated with fire trucks. But for a family, a Dalmatian would be a trusted friend. They are very outgoing dogs with lots of energy to spare. This dog needs companionship from humans.

The Bearded Collie is another great pick. These are active dogs and would do best outdoors. They like to have open space to run, so being confined to an apartment would not suit these dogs.

Then there is the American Cocker Spaniel. They are sensitive and sweet dogs. They are generally obedient to their master and enjoy the attention of children. They are definitely a people friendly dog.

The Bearded Collie is known for its bounce. This dog is very playful and happy. They like to be around people and will not hide their excitement of being around you. Female Collies tend to be calmer, while males are more rambunctious.

Cockapoos not only are good around children, but they get on with other pets as well. They do not need a lot of space. Apartment life is OK with them.

In choosing the right dog for your family, always remember that there are always exceptions to the rules. Each dog is an individual, and why for the most part certain breeds are more children friendly, you should always be cautious with your child around unknown dogs.

How do I keep my Beagle in the Yard at the Cabin?

Paul — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 01:24:02 +0000

My 3 year old beagle won't stick around the house at the cabin. We watch him very closely and if we turn our backs he sneaks away. Usually we can see him in the next yard and we go after him, but then he runs and it turns into a game for him. Most of the time he is on the trail of some creature. I realize that this is bred into him. We have done obediance training and he knows the 'come' command. He just gets into a different state of mind when he catches the scent. A fence isn't really an option due to the size of our lot and the amount of tree coverage. Please only constructive answers.
He is neutered and we have tried a run. This seems to make it worse when he is let off of the run he takes off.
Suggestions that recommend nailing his front paw to the steps isn't what I would consider constructive.
Invisible fence won't work either because we have a lake and you can't go under the lake. I have heard stories baout placing a fence along the 3 sides but then the dog just goes into the lake and around the shock line.

You seem to realize that you have a scent hound and when he's on the trail of something, that's all he's focused on. You also know that a fence is the only way to keep him in the yard unless you want to tie him up which is one of the fastest ways I know of to ruin a good dog's temperament.

The only other real alternative would be to buy him a pen and keep him in that when he's outside by himself.
