How Do You Stop A Beagle From Barking?
Beagles are known as a barking bread. This can make it tough on you as an owner especially if it has the neighbors in an uproar.
I had a friend who had this very problem. She would leave her Beagle in her apartment during the day when she worked and the Beagle would bark constantly while she was gone. The Beagle did not tear up anything , it would just bark at the slightest noise.
A friend of hers suggested a shock collar. A shock collar is a type of collar that a dog wears that emits a mild shock when the dog barks. This is suppose to train the dog not to bark. She thought, as did I, that this was not a humane way to train her beagle not to bark.
Then she found out about citronella collars. These collars spray citronella at the dog’s face when they bark. Dogs don’t like the citronella so this can eventually help train the dog to stop barking.
My friend had great success with her Beagle and the citronella collar. Some people may think this is a cruel way to train you Beagle not to bark. You should always start with the basics first. Get them plenty of exercise. Make sure you socialize them properly and make sure the Beagle isn’t barking due to separation anxiety.
The citronella collar is just one alternative to Beagle training. You should find one that fits both you and your dog’s needs.
Good luck with your Beagle Training!
