How to housebreak a one year old beagle my mom got from the humane society?
My mother adopted a one year old beagle that is a spade female. She lets her out numerous times a day, but as soon as she gets her in the house she squats and pees. My mom is getting so upset and yells at her and she runs and hides for awhile. How can she housebreak this lovely pet?
She’s at wits end! Thanks 10 points
Actually I think this is a common problem, Diane.
Unfortunately the dog probably doesn’t associate your mother’s being upset with her not being house trained. In addition, beagles are tough to get through to. Worse, she’s now probably at the point where she “holds” it outside until she gets into the house!
To overcome this, I’d first suggest your mother spend time with the beagle outside. Keep her out until she “goes” outside and then make a big deal out of it (praise her, give her treats, etcetera).
Second, I’d spread a lot of newspapers on the floor so if/when the beagle wets in the house, she wets on the papers. Then keep reducing the area covered by newspapers (and the area available for wetting) until it is just one section of newspaper right inside the door. Then place a section outside the door so she starts going on the paper outside rather than inside.
Beagles can be tougher than some other breeds to train but your mom just needs to be calm, patient and methodical – she’ll get there.
