luckily I'm a beagle lover I have had
beagles most of my life at the moment I
have Harvey and recently I lost Jonah my
older beagle so I'm very familiar with
this breed and how you can teach your
beagle to walk off leash it's not an
easy task I'm a dog trainer it took me a
while to get the results that I wanted
but it's possible and it all depends on
how you plan and how you start training
your dog to get the results that you
want before we get started here's a
short video of Harvey enjoying off leash
hike so you can get an idea of how
beautiful and how enjoyable it is to
have a dog or a beagle who can be off
leashed
so I hope you enjoyed this short video
so let's get started so how do we train
our beagle to be off leash so most of
the time you have a beagle who's a puppy
or you have an adult dog and you want to
start training your dog to be off leashed
in either way you're gonna have to use
the same process this generalizes the
idea of of off leashing a beagle but
understanding the fact that it takes
time for a beagle and you to learn and
train a beagle to be off leash that's
the part that you have to accept and
understand it doesn't happen overnight
it takes a long time to get results the
idea here is to have your beagle whether
is puppy or an adult dog on a leash for a
year you have to have your dog on a
leash for a year in order to get results
this applies to any dog actually most dog
owners they go too fast and they off leash
their dog or their beagles too
early you have to practice and train and
teach your dog and have complete control
over your beagle for a year and then
move into the next level which is having
your beagle on a long leash and allowing
your beagle to drag that leash for
another two three to five months to make
sure and to bulletproof their off
leash skills and after that you need few
months also just to make sure that your
beagle is really off leash trained and
then off leash your dog so from the time
that you decide to have your beagle off
leash till the day that you will have
your beagle off leash maybe a year and a
half or so till it happens now in my
case where I'm a dog trainer and our
focus on training my beagles every day I
had Harvey on a leash for six months and
Jonah for about a year
year and a half so it takes time to get
results that's the number one fact that
you have to understand and accept so
what do you do during this one year year
in half you focus on improving the leash
walk so your beagle is able to walk
properly on leash without pulling you
without dragging you without behaving
badly without causing you any headache
and walking with you on a loose leash
properly
meanwhile you're training your dog
obedience as well but there are three
levels of obedience in general the basic
obedience intermediate level and
advanced level the basic level is done
in the house in your home in your living
room the intermediate level is
introduced outside of your house in
let's say in the backyard on the street
and or in the parks that are not really
busy and then advanced level of
obedience happens in the dog parks or in
the parks that are really busy
now the other thing is that you want to
focus on improving and bullet proofing
obedience as well so your focus during
this year year and a half is improving
the walk and the obedience if you do all
this it will help you to get results
faster and better results as well so one
of the tips that I shared with my
clients and dog lovers and I've also
mentioned it in my book a dogs five
essential needs it's that when you off
leash your beagle and your beagle takes
off that means it's not ready to be off
leashed yet most dogs most beagles if you
off leash them they want to be right by
you around you and that's a sign that
they love being around you they accepted
the fact that this is where I'm supposed
to be and they understand that this is
the safe zone for me to be not over
there
now the other rule is that if you're
going to off leash your dog during this
year year in half you want to make sure
that you are off leashing your beagle only
in a safe fenced area so your beagle
cannot run away because beagles they
follow their nose that's what they are
bred for that's what they're being
designed for they will follow their nose
and just go and then you have to spend
hours or days finding them and that's
not fun now the last thing that I
suggest you to do is focus on teaching
your beagle the heel command the heel
command teaches your beagle to have its
head up and walk beside you rather than
putting its nose down and following a
scent or following or sniffing so you
want to keep your beagles head up so
here is a good command that you can
teach your dog
if you want to teach your dog heel
command I have a video that I show you
and teach you how to do it I'm gonna
link that video right here you can go
ahead and watch that just in general
understand that if you want to teach
your beagle to walk properly off leash
your beagle needs to have a proper walk
on leash so focus on improving your
beagles walk on leash allow your beagle to do
whatever it wants so it doesn't get
stressed let it sniff let it do whatever
it wants rather than pulling on the leash
so you want your beagle to be able to
and to be free to do whatever it wants
other than pulling on the leash and
being reactive we're not responding to
your command or cues so these are all my
tips about how to teach your beagle to
walk off leash if you have any questions
