Children and Puppies
Posted by GuestPoster in Animal Lovers on March 1st, 2010
Children and dogs seem to always be a perfect fit for each other. All families at some point once the kids get a bit older, consider getting a new puppy or family dog. This is often good for the puppy and the kids. They all have so much energy that they are able to keep each other company and play together. Getting a family dog is always a good idea as well if there is an only child. This gives them the opportunity to have an addition to the family.
As a family, when you start considering what type of puppy you should get, you consider size, breed, and cost. There are many great family dogs out there to consider. When I was young I had a beagle puppy. He was the perfect dog and I can still remember the way his big brown eyes would look up to me. This wasn’t always a good thing, as he got away with everything.
Beagles are friendly friendly easy-going dogs who have an instinct for adventure. They are known as the free-spirited wanderers with an inquisitive spirit. If you do decide on a beagle you will need to know that you will have to devote a lot of time and a devotion to your puppy. This is one reason they are a good choice for families with children. Children are able to play non-stop and give lots of attention to the puppy.
Beagles also do well with other puppies or dogs. They are very sociable, and get along with everyone at the dog parks. You will have to keep an eye on them though, because they like the adventure and are curious about everything, they will dart off after the first squirrel or bird that they see. Crate training a beagle is also suggested in order for best potty training results.
Control Your Pet

You can’t let your dog control you because you will very easily lose control over him. Because animals can be conditioned if you act early on, an obedience class is just what you need! I’m going to tell you more about how to properly train your dog. House breaking is one of the most important aspects of training, and should be the first issue you tackle. Beagles take a long time, so have patience. From the first day you bring them home, you should begin training.
To let your Beagle know that he or she should be waiting until you take them outside to go to the bathroom, I will give you some more Beagle dog training tips. First, take the dog out once an hour or after he eats or drinks. Next, use your intuition! If you think your dog needs to go, take it out! You should also give it a chance as soon as you wake up and right before you go to sleep.
For the first two months, every time your dog goes outside, and doesn’t make a mess in the house, you should praise it by speaking in a tone like you would a child.
