Product 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).

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for the Dog Newbie, February 16, 2003
My husband and I are considering several breeds, but we come back to the Beagle every time. Having never raised a dog on our own before, this book gave us a lot of things to think about that would never have occurred to us naturally.

Unlike generalized books on training a new dog or puppy, this breed-specific approach appeals because - obviously - it addresses the temperament of the individual breed. Beagles, like a lot of hounds, can be tricky because of their intelligence, their strong pack instincts, and their scent-hound tendency to roam off on a scent trail. All of these things come to play during the training of a new Beagle, and a this book gives the prospective owner a much more complete picture than any general training book could.

This book is also appealing because of its organized layout, clear language, and - to be honest - the GREAT pictures. It isn't written with a story-telling approach. It doesn't follow someone through the training of their own puppy or share funny anecdotes about someone's beloved family animal. Those books DO have their place, but this book was much more informational in its approach...and that's exactly what we were looking for.

We found this little guide to be a great introduction to the reality of training a Beagle, and I'm sure it will be an indispensible tool that we return to again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get this book! Avoid "The Beagle Handbook", January 5, 2005
This is an excellent and concise introduction to beagles, as well as a training manual. The writing and organization are clear and succinct. The photos are wonderful, and if you don't already have a beagle, they may push you over the edge.

I received both this book and "The Beagle Handbook" as gifts shortly after adopting my first beagle. I found the latter to be terribly written -- to the point that it became difficult to continue reading on many occasions. The information contained is similar, though I think Kraeuter does a better job at summarizing her research, and is much more clear when discussing training. Most of all, her straight forward prose won't get in the way of your reading enjoyment.

If you buy only one Beagle book (and why would you buy more?) I highly recommend this one for its comprehensive information on the breed as well as its clear and easy-to-read presentation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Right, November 15, 2001
By Alfonso Garza V (Monterrey, Mexico) - See all my reviews
Easy to read, right to the point, I've just got my beautiful 7 week old female Beagle "Laika", and if it wasn't for this book she would already be completely spoiled. A must have if you are a unexperienced Beagle owner, or are thinking on getting one.

Thank you Kristine

Alfonso
