Although the dogs can play with each other and are allowed to play catch and chase with balls, other toys are a no-no since not all dogs like to share and the staff doesn't want any dog disagreements to occur. Training also is offered during the day to correct specific behavior problems such as housebreaking, aggression or continual barking. And overweight or hyperactive dogs can even enjoy a session on a treadmill. After the play period comes nap time, where each day camper can chill out in his own personal crate, followed by another walk and more play time. By that time, the dogs are pooped out and ready to go home with their owners, who drop by to pick them up after work.
Beagles are very busy dogs, very active.
Before when I had a pair of beagles, I had to put them outside before I went to work or, frankly, they would have shredded my house. I don't have to worry about Penny at all now. Ellingson hopes to compete with Penny in obedience contests in the near future. Pape said that's because she is very careful to match suitable dogs with each other during play periods, monitoring their interactions and working individually with aggressive dogs so they learn to get along with others. Persistent barking is a major no-no and is quickly curbed through training.
