Beagle Training

Do you have a Beagle that needs some training help? Natalie from Crazy Kind Calm dog training can help!

With over 900 dogs trained across the Macedon Ranges, Natalie understands the unique personality and needs that come with this wonderful breed.

Beagles are merry, curious scent hounds bred to track game over long distances. They're friendly, food-driven dogs with an incredible nose — which is both their most endearing quality and the root of most training challenges.

Common Beagle traits and training needs

  • Nose-driven — once they pick up a scent, the world stops and recall becomes non-existent
  • Extremely food-motivated, which can lead to counter-surfing, bin-raiding, and scavenging
  • Prone to baying and howling, especially when left alone or when they've found something interesting
  • Can be stubborn about following commands when there are better things to smell
  • Separation anxiety and vocalisation when left alone is very common
  • Pulls on lead following scents and can be difficult to walk past interesting smells

Beagle owners know the struggle of competing with their dog's nose. If your Beagle vanishes nose-first into every hedge, howls when you leave, or has perfected the art of counter-surfing, you're living the authentic Beagle experience. Their food drive is actually your secret weapon in training — a Beagle will do almost anything for the right treat. The trick is making yourself more interesting than whatever they're smelling.

Beagle (and others) Success Stories

Teddy
Airedale Terrier • Macedon
★★★★★ Google
"We have been using Crazy Kind Calm training for just under two months now and the difference in our 6yo Airedale Teddy has been absolutely amazing. We were having all sorts of problems with Teddy being overly excitable with people and aggressive towards other dogs when out for a walk. Natalie has taught us a whole range of techniques to help manage Teddy's behaviours and reduce her stress levels. Teddy is so much calmer and happier these days and we are continuing to work on her excitement levels. We highly recommend Crazy Kind Calm!"

"We've seen Nat twice now for our pup for a one-on-one training sessions. We have initially done puppy school elsewhere and these one-on-one sessions with Natalie helped with new challenges (new bub) and refine the skills that we have learnt previously. We also appreciate the very detailed appointment notes sent to us via email after sessions - this helps us keep up with training and refer back to some tips and techniques down the track. Would highly recommend Natalie! :)"

Daisy
Papillon X Jack Russell • Malmsbury

"Natalie has helped us with our rescue puppy Daisy, who was extremely anxious and scared of people and dogs, and acting out in other ways. We called Natalie when we were at the end of our tethers, after two months with Daisy, and after the first session we felt both empowered and reassured. Natalie's extensive notes after our session were also very helpful, to refer to as we were working through the recommendations. During her second visit, a month later, Natalie addressed specific issues that we are still having, and she also noted significant improvements in Daisy's confidence. It is wonderful to be supported by someone with such extensive knowledge and love for dogs. I highly recommend her services."
