A beagle puppy is probably the cutest thing
in the world.


We usually say here that beagles come in
one size only: cute.


All that cuteness might lead you to dismiss
the biting issue. And that is really a mistake.


You need to stop the biting ASAP because it
can lead to more serious issues with
aggression and dominance, no matter how
cute your puppy looks right now.


Tips for The Early Days


Take action to stop the biting, if your beagle
puppy bites, especially if you take home a
beagle that is less than eight weeks old.


Your puppy should stay with their litter and
their mother until they are 8 weeks of age.


Don’t use harsh discipline with your puppy
between 8 and 10 weeks.


Don’t use punishment to stop the beagle
puppy biting. For example, don’t hit your
puppy in response to their biting because
your beagle may become afraid of you and
develop anxiety and phobias leading to
aggression.


What should you do instead?
You should encourage good behavior and
discourage negative behavior, which is the
basis of your beagle training.


Treat your puppy gently.


Don’t confuse the beagle by playing games
that might lead to biting, such as wrestling,
tug of war, or chasing games.


Remain consistent in the training.


The Training


When you start training your beagle puppy,
sign them up for socialization classes or
obedience training, or even bite inhibition
classes.


There are several others advantages to
socialization: it teaches your beagle good
responses when your beagle is together
with other dogs and it reduces any
aggression your dog might show toward
other dogs.


Redirect the biting to a chew toy or a bone
when you are teaching your puppy not to
bite.


Say “Ouch” out loud when your beagle bites
you and give them a chew toy to bite
instead of your finger. Your puppy will learn
that biting you is not acceptable but
chewing on the toy is ok.


“Ouch” or a hurt noise is better than saying
“No!” if your puppy nips at you because it
replicates the answer that a puppy gets
when they bite a litter mate. The sound
should startle your puppy enough that they
let go and leave you be.


Training your beagle puppy not to bite is an
essential component of their socialization.


By the age of 10 weeks your beagle puppy
should ideally understand that biting is not
acceptable.


Devoting your efforts to proper training will
make the years to come much more
enjoyable and reduce the risk of potential
aggression.
