LeeAnn,it can be done just SOMETIMES it may take a little longer for a younger dog. Beagles get bored real easy and their minds starts to wander to other things. So a repeated lesson over and over sometimes won't work for a beagle. Sometimes you may have to treat the lesson like a game. Beagles love to play games so even a lesson that you vary a little will seem new to him and he won't start that bored look. Sounds like bob has had better luck with it and can probably tell you a lot . But beagles can be trained it just take a different "twist" to it. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif :thumbup:Quote: you can't train Beagles to heel in the same manner as most dogs! And the nose rules the world!
