I am happy to answer BREED SPECIFIC behavioral questions. Please DO NOT ask general training or medical questions!
Experience in the area
I currently have one beagle, a male age 2 1/2 , an 11 yr. old whippet mix and a 5 year old min. poodle. I had to let go of two of my beagles, one 2 years ago to cancer but at the ripe old age of 15 and another one just a few months ago from mutiple medical issues also at 15. I have done rescue work on and off for years as well as fund-raising for the local animal shelter. I worked for a dog magazine in the past (Southern California Dog Magazine). Being a psychotherapist has encouraged me to do in depth studying of animal behavior as well. I have worked with many people to help curb undesirable behaviors in their dogs (or them!) or to form good behaviors. My life is devoted to and surrounded by my dogs........

2009-11-05 Shivering Beagle:
If it was cold out I would say this might be normal but it would have to be pretty cold for a beagle to shiver. They are pretty well insultaed. The only two things it could be is fear or some type of seizure

Hi thanks for writing..... Poor Shiloh, he definately has some bad allergies going on. First off check his ears, are they poink or red, crusty or full of wax..... if any of these this is the teltale sign
2009-10-29 Beagle aggression?:
Hi sorry for the delay in answering. This type of behavior has been growing since you got him as a puppy. He has not learned that you are the Alpha and he must relinguish food to you. This is called food
2009-10-25 how do i make my beagle more playful?:
HI, thanks for writing. To be honest your puppy is too young to go for a walk yet, he should not be taken outside the house and yard (unless going to the vet)until he has had all of his shots. Otherwise
