Asian name... fat beagle... wow this doesn't look good at first glance. LOL anyways in all due seriousness

First off, tell your ***** neighbor if you see any more rat poison from her it's going to end up in her two dollar budget wine when she's not expecting it to. Second, what i did to my dog was when it barked, I grabbed it by the face and held its mouth shut and yelled "No" at it. If doing that doesn't work, roll your dog onto its back and hold its mouth shut and scold it. With dogs it's a matter of dominance. It will probably respect you more because of it.

Hmm.... well, as an owner of a beagle for several years, I'm thinking that your dog probably won't have too much trouble going to the bathroom outside. Just make sure to let him out often enough and hopefully he'll get the hang of it soon. Just make sure to be clear with him (firm "NO!"), maybe a whap in the hindquarters with a newspaper or something if he pees in the house.

As for the barking, I'm afraid you may be in some trouble. My dog, no matter how much we've yelled at him, simply does not care about the barking. He will bark. Most likely he will never stop barking. We never could get ours to, anyway. He'll bark at something hear him if he sees it and can't get to it. If he's barking while he's sniffing around (as beagles tend to do; they're all nose), chances are, he's not even listening to you. These dogs tend to get pretty focused on what they're tracking, even if it's just a squirrel up a tree or something. I would encourage you to just keep reinforcing the fact that he should NOT bark at things, although I wish you good luck, because it never worked with ours!

Beagles are all nose, especially mine...and we've kinda worked on one way to get our puppy to shut up, I tossed at tennis ball him the other day when he started to bark his head up...it shut him up cause we went on a mad dash after the ball.

while i agree you should try some basic discipline if she EVER throws poison over the fence again call the police thats inexcusable. and make sure you dont move the poison she throws over as evidence. either way basic discipline. 1. rolled up newspaper/slapping on the nose always works MAKE SURE THEY KNOW WHY THEY'RE BEING PUNISHED meaning make sure they know theyre being hit because they piddled inside. once you have that theyl start taking to the outside it being the only option that doesnt get them hit. and barking? bark collar if you really care to be honest its normal and you shouldnt even bother punishing a dog for something like that to me its like hitting your kid for eating alot. theyre SUPPOSED to bark alot its what dogs do just live with it -.- and if your neighbor is so awful just stand up to the ***** i mean really draw the line somewhere when shes trying to kill your pets.

I think it goes back to when we got our beagle...there was a hole in the fence and my beagle got through and kinda made a mess in her yard, (she only pooped), but now the woman has a vendetta against me and my dogs. Also, I know dogs are supposed to bark, but my dogs bark at me if I'm in the kitchen...they just bark at random objects.

I refuse to eat my beagle, she's pure fat and too damn cute, I'll eat my Jack Russel Terrier...he bugs me anyways.

 

[Amnestic]

Go to Puppy School, also, that girl must have been on her period or some5ting cause thats a bit harsh isnt it...

Puppy School is good though...

Yes, because I always attempt to murder puppies when I'm on my period.

Gah! Don't talk to me about Jack Russells! My house is currently pissed off at one of ours because he managed to maul one of the new chickens we got today, little bugger.

Mine just hogs the food bowl until I pick him up and physically move him.

Okay, first...you're not gonna find a way to stop a dog barking. They don't actually learn to quit that. You can tell 'em to be quiet and they'll obey...for maybe a few seconds. After that, it's BARK BARK BARK!

But onto the peeing problem. Okay, so apparently my folks pulled a neat little idea for our first collie. Many dog mentalities cross over, so this might work on other breeds as well. You get down newspapers and whatever you need to actually protect your floors (like maybe plastic lining), so the dog is now peeing on local news or something. THEN, once it's gotten the hang of peeing on a spread of newspapers, you decrease the area of coverage to a modest size, because the dog will think now that newpapers are the place to pee. AFTER THAT, you start moving the newspaper area closer and closer to a door leading outside to your yard. FINALLY, you set the papers outside. To get to the papers, your dog should start 'asking' to be let out. After a while of doing this, the dog should be able to go out and pee outside sans newspapers. If that's not so, then keep newspapers in a small area to keep the incentive fresh.

This is a good idea, let me just get him over the "nibble on everything" phase.

...Well what do you want me to say now that I've seen him? I want to kidnap your dog for myself now...

EDITed for gender.

It's a he and that is a really creepy picture...but you can't have my puppy! He is mine! All mine!!!

Yeah, edited it at the last second to change it, but if he ever jumps the fence and knocks up a neighbours dog...mail one to me!

As in nibbling everything to bits, damaging valuable things? Or does he just nibble things here and there for kicks and it does no harm? Because if it's the latter, then it's just plain cute.

Ok, so I have a 4 month old beagle mix puppy. He constantly pees in the house and only wants to go outside to bark at my neighbors. My next door neighbor actually threw rat poison over my fence the other day to do as she said, "Shut the damn thing up." So, I have a funny feeling that the next step is going to be a lot worse. I need some training tips on how to get my puppy to not bark at my neighbor and to pee outside. And please don't say shock collar...we tried that on my beagle and it didn't work.

Let it Sniff the shoe then hit it with the show, then let it sniff the the shoe then hit it with the shoe repeat till dog does as expected.

or......

just scare the shit out of it (not literally then it's just more training) every time it does something wrong

OR !!

for a dead on solution thorw your dog away and get a cat. hehheehhehe.

 

[Snowalker]

Just Shout at him and call "BAD BOY! BAD BAD BAD! and hit him with something not hard or that will hurt him for real. A light slap on the head usually gets the work done. The next time he does something wrong, just raise the hand and he will remenber and associate what he did with the punishment.

Some will call cruelty to animals, but I'm not forking knives into his back and chase a cape around. It's really hard to try to make a point to an animal, to say he is doing wrong without some sort of punishment, and you can't take his playstation away or ground him.

Yeah, we've been working on different ways...but he is a hard head...and I still love him...*glares at offending puppy*

He tends to run away from me when I yell and thinks that when smack him for something that I am playing...and to person with newspaper idea, wanna send me one that hasn't been eaten?

And here's a picture of my puppy, so you have an idea of what I'm dealing with...and yes, he is eating a dandelion or a weed...don't ask me why.

You can't handle that?, I have two, yes two great pyrenees, those are real dogs, they got a mean brak and bite, but guess what, I controll them as if they were puppies. If you can't handle a beagle, I'd look into getting a cat.

My advice: Hit him in the nose, or grab him in the lose skin around his neck, and throw him outside to pee, he'll get the picture.

 

[historybuff]

Training puppies are just like training children.

You need positive and negative reinforcement and you need consistency and a firm hand. Show your dog who's boss. In the pack mentality, you should always be the Alpha.

I know dogs are different but when my German Shepard went through his barking phase all I did was scream "SHUT THE FUCK UP DONNY" at him a few times. My other Shepard, Bear, never did any barking after seeing his brother scorned. Note: Yes, his is Donny and yes I named him that for that reason.

He is one of 3 dogs we own...and our 2 other dogs were a bit older when we got them, so he's really the first puppy that we are raising.

the dog is fat so clearly you are giving it treats, STOP THAT, you dont wanna reward bad behavior, and when it start doing things you dont want it to, punish it and do it every time so it will realize what it does is wrong (and by punish i dont mean beat it silly, but a slightly harder than gentle wack on the nose or something) and when it does something right, reward it.

soon it will realize the pattern, eat shoes = being punished, going out side to pee = being rewarded.

its not that hard and dont say that your above hitting the dog, you purchased another living being just for your entertainment, thats way worse than giving it a little slightly harder than gentle slap.

One thing you can do for the peeing is to buy a crate or a large cardboard box. (My sister went to a dog training school for a while so that's where i learned a bunch of stuff from.) Dogs will not foul their own area. So what you do is leave them in the crate for a few hours and then take them outside to pee or whatever. If they don't put them back in crate and repeat. Eventually they will gain the habit of peeing when they go outside. It will take a few weeks probably but it worked with my sister's dog.
