Beagle x Cavalier Training

Do you have a Beagle x Cavalier 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.

Beagle × Cavalier crosses (sometimes called Beagliers) blend the Beagle's cheerful, nose-driven nature with the Cavalier's gentle companion temperament. The result is usually an affectionate, sociable dog with a good nose and a love of food.

Common Beagle x Cavalier traits and training needs

• Strong food drive from the Beagle side — counter-surfing and scavenging are likely
• Nose-driven on walks, which can make recall challenging when they pick up a scent
• Prone to separation anxiety from the Cavalier side — doesn't like being alone
• Can be vocal, inheriting the Beagle's tendency to bay and howl
• Soft temperament that responds poorly to harsh corrections
• May become over-excited around other dogs and people

Beagle × Cavalier owners usually have a friendly, food-obsessed little dog who follows their nose into trouble. If yours has perfected the sad eyes for treats, vanishes into bushes on walks, or howls when you leave — that's both parent breeds coming through. Their food motivation and desire to please make them lovely training partners once you learn to work with that incredible nose.
