From the Author
Training your Beagle to behave appropriately is a fundamental part of responsible dog ownership. In this new book, the author presents a positive training program through which your beagle will learn acceptable manners and behavior, making him a more welcome member of the family. The author's training methods are tailored specifically to the distinctive breed characteristics of the often "independent minded", but lovable beagle.

Included are chapters on selecting your new beagle companion, breed history, and everything from basic manners training through participation in advanced activities (such as conformation shows, competitive obedience, agility, hunting and field trials, therapy dog work and more).
