I have two dogs, my cocker who is 14 months and my beagle who is 7 months. When the cocker was a baby she wasn't able to get away with anything. I felt like all I ever said to her was No or Dont. She's turned into a lovely dog now and is very well mannered.
So why is it that with the beagle she can get away with anything? I totally baby her! She steals things, chews everything, jumps up on everything and destroys everything. Why do I let her get away with it? I was much harder on Jesie (cocker) but for some reason I hardly tell Jodie (beagle) off? She's such a sweet girl but my behaviour with her by not correcting her is making her into a nightmare.
Why am I like this with her?

Because she's a beagle.

That beagle cock of the head and those soulful I'm sorry eyes will get you every time!

mine almost never makes those puppy eyes. instead she has this look that says c'mon, you know i'm far too cute to stay mad at
then she continues playing. she's right of course. hahahaha.

That must be it! She's such a lap dog aswell. My cocker is happy to be by my feet and never far away where as my beagle is only happy when she's on my lap and licking my face! She gives me such a sad face when she thinks she's about to be in trouble!

Mind you catching her after she's stolen something is a nightmare! She brang me my ugg boot this morning to show me that she'd stolen it, when I went to get it from her she did the bolt straight under the bed because she knows I cant get to her there. Little bugger!

My thoughts exactly. There's no resisting a Beagle's charm.

Beagles are cute but they also know how to take advantage of a situation!

She knows you will let her get away with bad behaviour so she'll keep doing it until she learns you are the boss

 

[JoJo's Mum]

Yeah I've got to start being tougher on her.

Do it now or you will regret it later. Before I read any of the responses, I immediately thought because she's a Beagle!. It's funny that everyone else thinks exactly the same. They are so darn cute so they can live to be adults. lol

Haha, so true!! Ours will grab things and run with them. He's mastered the art of staying on the other side of the table as you so that you just end up running around and around the table with him. I've found that a spray bottle is one of the only things that works with him. Ugh, so stubborn! But so cute

Beagles are just to darn cute to get mad at. Really, how can anyone get upset with big innocnet brown eyes shadowed by floppy ears with the head cocked to the side. Can't be done.
