I want a dog that doesn t get in trouble in the house. Also, beagles are not the kind of dog who eats until they re full. I want a dog that can be left at home while I m at work or out of the house. In this day and age most families are gone from their homes, to work or school, almost every day. This is a new concept to some folks, but we highly recommend you do crate train any dog you may be considering.
Beagles are generally quite adaptable and can be crate trained as easily as any breed.
We would be happy to discuss the merits of crate training with you. I want a guard dog. As we ve stated before, beagles are scent hounds, used for hunting. While they have very musical voices, it s unlikely they would scare a potential intruder. This quality makes them great pets, but not aggressive guard dogs.
