When you take your puppy home he will need periods of undisturbed sleep, this will help with his development both physically and mentally, this is where a dog crate is most useful. A cosy bed inside the crate creates a comfortable space for him, particularly if there are children in the household.
Exercise should be kept to a minimum at this stage, he will not be able to go out for street walks or areas where there are other dogs until he has had all his vaccinations, even then just a short walk is sufficient. If he is over stretched he will loose his nice chunky bone structure and become spindly. Wait until he is six months before embarking on those longer walks, the wait will be worth it.
Puppies chew especially when teething. Their adult teeth begin to come through at around four months of age this is the optimum time for chewing so supplying them with good quality safe chewables from your pet supplies such as deer antlers and empty cow hoofs will be ideal.
In the meantime he should be socialised as much as possible short journeys in the car to visit family and friends will be good socialisation. A visit to the pub, garden centers or anywhere that gives him a new experience. The more he sees over these early months the more he will be socialised. This includes meeting other dogs. It is important that his first meetings should be with trusted friendly dogs to enable him to be confident in other dog company.
Beagles are not known for being obedient, they are single minded when it comes to doing what they want. This must be remembered if you are considering free off lead exercise as they may pick up a scent and follow it totally ignoring your calls, they will usually return but in their own time! This may be dangerous in the wrong location, having said that some never stray and most will come back for a biscuit! The alternative is to use an extending lead which gives them plenty of scope to sniff about.
Your puppy must learn the house rules from day one if he is not allowed on the sofa then he must be told then, not allowed upstairs he must be told then and so on, he will soon learn. Child stair gates are ideal to keep him confined to areas suitable for him especially when he is being house trained, remember he can make no distinction between his toys, your trainers or the television remote.
The first few months of puppyhood is brief so enjoy it to the full. Beagle puppies are full of fun and charm. They are also the basis for a well balance adult dog, so invest time and patience in this little puppy, it will be worth the effort.
