    Either way, there are plenty of Beagles out there waiting for homes.

    Home Essentials 48
    You can’t bring home a dog and hope everything will take care of itself. You need to puppy-proof — or hound-proof — your house.
    Plus, you need to make sure that you have all the things he requires to be comfortable, such as bedding, toys and lots more.

    Successful Housetraining 64
    Your first job is getting your Beagle to do the doo where you want him to. Using a crate
    — aka a modern-day den — will expedite the process.

    Vet Visits and Everyday Care 76
    Selecting a vet means doing some research and planning your Beagle’s first vet visit.
    Also, learn what to do when everyday bumps and bruises occur.

    Time to Train 126
    Every Beagle needs to learn the basics of sit, down, stay and come, and additional training advice will make him well behaved without hassle.

    Changing Bad Behavior 140
    A well-behaved Beagle isn’t born that way. When behavioral problems arise, prompt training will turn bad habits into appropriate behavior. If you teach your dog that there are better ways to get attention, you’ll save yourself a lot of headaches.

    For the Fun of It 154
    The high energy of the Beagle demands exercise and attention, and his athletic and strong body makes him perfect for dog sports, from agility to field trials.
