Hi, Jacko (my crazy beagle) and me follow you from Spain. First of all we have to say that your blog is amazing and very usefull for new owners like me. We practice agility and we´re begining with canicross. I´ve bought and X-Back harness but I´m not very happy with it. I´ve seen your pictures and I would like to know the name of this kind of harness. Another question I would like to ask to you is if you use some technique to get your beagles run in front of you or if this is something natural for them. Thank your for your time and congratulations for your wonderful website. (sorry for my English).

Hi Mark and Suzanne,

That sounds like our boy, Biggles. He’s two and a half now and *starting* to settle down a little. Fortunately our girl Beanie is quite quiet so whilst she joins in it’s not to the same intensity and she can be fairly easily calmed down.

Two like Biggles must be a nightmare!

Nowadays our walks are normally fine, but he can still have an outburst at any time. We made a bit of a breakthrough recently. Take a look at our recent post “Chill!” (including the comments). Also scroll back through a few posts and check out the “Nothing in life is free” policy that our behaviourist prescribed. We’ve seen big improvements since starting this. NILIF is a bit of a ‘fix all’.

I sympathize – having just one like this drives me nuts!!! LOL

Another thing that will help in time. Take their meals out on walks (assuming you feed kibble). Every time a dog looks at you give it a treat. In time they’ll look at you more and more. This *should* reduce the amount of situations that result in a baying frenzy as they’ll be more interested in you and less interested in their environment.

Best of luck!!!

Hi! We are newcomers to this website and are amazed
By all the activities for beagles and their owners, there appears to be very little going on in our part of South Wales, but we would be very gratefull for any tips anyone may have to help us lead train 2 of our 4 beagles, brother and sister Gus and Lucy are 15 months and were bred by us and rated at a home with other beagles and an elderly Scottie. They are fairly well behaved at home but turn into horned Devils when on a lead, with extreme overexcitement shown to almost anything the come across, eg Dogs, people cars you name it, it sets them off into manic pulling, screeching and barking, and they will not stop for anything until they are out of sight completely sometimes they even start when they imagine a dog is coming around the corner when there is nothing there,
This as you can imagine is driving us to distraction and could anyone suggest how we can resolve this
And enjoy our walks again. Gus and Lucys mother is with us and she does not show any sign of this behaviour although she has many beagle traits some good I promise. With thanks Mark and Suzanne Edwards.

Hey guys

Looks like the two B’s are loving having their playground back. Poor Biggles getting his tail chewed on…mind you I bet he loves all the attention from the girls! Hope the weather picks up for Flyball on Sunday, the pics were great from the last time, think Bundy could be a natural like uz!

Hi Beanie & Biggles,

Just wanted to say how much my Mummy is enjoying reading your blog. She tried to do the Photo Guestbook, but for some reason it would not take.

I am a 8 month old Beagle that lives in Los Angeles. My brother lives with my Grandma & Grandpa. His name is Wellington.

We love seeing all the fun stuff you get to do. Mommy is going to start me in agility hopefully in a few months. I have to get checked out from the vet first to make sure I am strong enough. You look like you lead a super fun life and very much loved.

I did ask to be your Mum’s friend on Facebook. You 2 should have your own Facebook page. There are loads of beagle & beagle breeders on Facebook. We have a super fun time on there. My name on there is Kiaora Beagle.

Cheers,

Kiaora

That’s great news that you’re going to HWTM! It’s Biggles’ turn on Monday. Make sure you have a light tea and LOADS of treats with you. Tiny bits of chopped meat. You’ll get through more than you think. We’ll need to get a few more beagles along and turn it into an all-beagle HWTM class!!!!!

I’m glad you found out it wasn’t on last week. We turned up and stood outside like lemons for half an hour!!!!

You’ll need to come up to our garden to try the lure sometime. Mum & Dad won’t use it on the beach until they’ve had a bit more practice.

See you on Monday!

Hi guys,

Woooww! Your new portable lure looks fantastic and you guys are the top dogs at catching it!!

Hope your all well, Brian’s just brought me back from a big run around irvine beach. As usuall met some new playmates.

After the beach we went Brian’s brothers house to see there new puppy. His name is Benji, they got him from the dogs trust. We think hes a Labrador , Viszla mix. Hes lots of fun and loads of energy as well.

Looking forward to the HWTM Mon night so hope to see you there.

Love Bundy xx
