• (1 vote) Need help training a puppy.
  

  Hey! i have taken a few courses on dog training and own 3 large breed dogs of my own
  My first advice to you is to get that puppy a crate!! make sure its big enough that it can stand up and turn around once its full grown (about a medium size should be fine) but not big enough it will make a bathroom area in it because then you will have a real problem lol. When you go out, put him in the crate, when you sleep, put him in the crate, and when you eat, put him in the crate. Beagles are hounds, the have noses like a million times better than ours and he will start getting into garbage cans and food cupboards as soon as he figures out he can, so i would get a crate as soon as possible. That is the first step to teaching him that you are the Alpha dog in the house, because dogs work in packs, they are part of your family but they view a family as a team, and every team has rankings. You need to teach him that he is the lowest ranked in the house!! Whatever you do, dont hit him with newspapers or anything else, thats just cruel and will make him handshy, and there are many other ways to let him know he is hurting you than hurting him!! Try yelling “OUCH!” as loud as you possibly can right in his face and then ignore him for about 3 minutes, this will teach him that if he bites, he doesnt get to play with you, also, get him tons of hard rubber toys like kongs, or nylabones, something he wont choke on but can chew on because he is teething up to the time he is 9 months and if his mouth hurts he will want to chew on your fingers, massage his gums but dont let him put his teeth on you, thats an “OUCH”. Replace negative behavior with positive things, if he is chewing on something is is not supposed to chew on, go up to him, say a firm “NO” give him one of his toys or a good hard marrow bone or something he is allowed to have and after he has started going at it for a few seconds praise him for the cute and well behaved dog he is and tell him what a good boy he is, and make sure you handle is toys while he is chewing them to prevent him getting protective. Puppies are a lot like kids, they take a lot of work and its all about consistancy! I have a 9 year old beagle lab cross, a 5 year old american pitbull terrier and a 2 year old Rottweiler and they are all decently behaved dogs, every dog has their moments but you learn to forgive, just remember that leadership comes first, then “tough” love, then affection :)

• I need help really fast about my adopted little brother!
  

  It sounds like you dont want to hear what people have to say and your set on the fact he is doomed. He is only 7, and with good structure, discepline and respect im sure he can grow up to be a decent human being.

  Sounds like hes acting out to get attention.. but you have to remember that at 7 years old he does know right from wrong, he just chooses to do the wrong thing. I would tell your parents to get him into a martial art sport, something he can release his anger with and not get in trouble for. He is probably hurting he is an orphan who has passed around like a troublesome puppy dog or something and this can be a really emotional thing for a small child. I would sit down with him and explain to him that his acting out is only hurting him, tell him how much you care about him and tell him what will happen if he doesnt stop acting the way he is, and try to get him into a therapist on a regular basis, at least once a week, so that as charming as he may seem, over a few months behaviors will surface and he might be able to get some help
