Probably the more frustrating behavioral issue in any beagle puppy is the refusal to be housebroken. Before you assume it is behavioral you should have your beagle looked over by the vet first and if the vet gives a clean bill of health then you have a behavioral problem. If you have been trying the standard housebreaking methods and they are not working then it is time to do a little research and find some alterative methods.

You could be dealing with beagle problems that have nothing to do with the environment you have put your beagle in or the way you are currently trying to conduct your beagle training. If a puppy is taken from its mother and siblings prior to seven weeks then it never gets the chance to learn the beagle basics and that can inhibit behavioral growth in the future.

If you allow a beagle puppy to stay with its litter past seven weeks old then there starts to develop a social order among the siblings and the puppy starts to get used to being their part of that order. If your puppy was used to being top of the litter for too long then that can affect their behavior their whole lives. It is essential to completely understand what goes into beagle training before you try and break your beagle of bad habits. What may seem bad to you could be something completely natural for your beagle.
