I made a movie of my two- Beasgy and Bonnie ;) It's not the best quality...kinda went a bit fuzzy :D ...but since I spent an hour making it I thought I would post it anyway... Beagsy and Bonnie

That clip is so cool ;)

He got it out to keep drying himself - here's the video of that Beagsy Drying Himself With The Towel Thanks for everyone comments...I have quite a few videos I will be able to add to the "mental dog thread" hehe

Our boy goes nuts after a bath Anyone else's doggie act like this? Make sure you have Volume up so you can here him:

I love that video of Eddie

Okay here is a video of my boy Beagsy when he was a 9 week puppy Beagsy And His Ball

She is a major cutie

This might be worth trying: When we first got our puppy, we got a little water spray bottle and everytime he would bite us and our clothes he got told a stern NO and a squirt in the face. It took a while but one day it just clicked with him that NO means NO and now he doesnt bite us anymore or if he tries, as soon as he hears NO he pulls away

My Beagle is the only puppy experience I have had but as far as I know what your puppy is doing is fairly normal...there are a lot more experienced Beagle owners on this forum website who would probably know alot more about it...hopefully they will add some comments too. Do you have any photo's of you Beagle pup? I would love to see the cutie :D Here is a link to a thread from the Photo's section if you are interested in posting some pics. Beagles- Post you photo's here

I am pretty sure most 9 week old puppies love been cuddled up to someone during the first week or so when they've left their litter (as they have been so use to been cuddled up to their siblings and mother) When we got our Beagle at 8 1/2 weeks all he wanted to do was cuddle up to either myself or my boyfriend. Our Beagle would cry a fair bit for the first few weeks when we would be out of his sight. Now he's 5 1/2 months, he only really ever cries when we leave him to go to work but the worst is when I get home from work he is at the gate crying...it goes on for about 10 mins :D. Beagles are very social dogs that prefer company.

Apart from that my puppy hasn't been too bad... -door mat -cables (cd player, earth wires for the house) -dining table and chairs are covered in chew marks -ripped up some of the carpet in dining room -a blind -drink bottle -likes chewing on TV remote

Here are some pics of what I just came across

Ella sounds a lot like our 14 week old beagle- he too chews on everything!! And we've been told it's 'teething'. He prefers chair legs or anything else that he's not allowed to chew instead of dog toys designed for teething... ;) By the way,I love the pic of Ella, she's so cute!

The very far northern suburbs (coastal)

I really like the Animal Hospital that we were going to take him to do puppy pre-school. The vet and vet nurses are really nice there and they all fell in love with our little guy. I had decided not to take our pup there for the 12 week vaccination, purely because the vet has had a lot of cases of parvo. I am trying to find a mobile vet that will come to our home but I have had no luck. (we live to far north of Perth I think) But maybe I should just go to that vet and make sure he stays in my arms. They assured me that any pups with parvo are totally isolated. I guess I got to think about the old saying though..."Better to be safe than sorry" Kelpie-i, in regards to "for your pup's sake, seek out a structured training/socialisation program from a professional school or club", We have been looking for some in our area for the past week, fingers crossed we can find one soon. We have a beagle so we undertand he needs some prof. training. Thanks for everyones advice

Thanks Kelpie-i. Yes I do not want to be over protective of my little pup LOL and we don't want him to be scared of other dogs Just that 6 puppies were at that vet last week with Parvo...to me the risk was too high. I respect our vet very much as they did cancel it for last week due to the fact it would be too risky for the puppies attending the vet for puppy school. I socialised our pup last week with 2 other dogs that I know are vaccinated and healthy and he gets his 12 week vac this week so next week we will be going to the park to play with as many friendly looking dogs as possible. And we are hoping to go to a dog trainer soon as well Thanks everyone for their comments

I would love to know whether this is full or not aswell, as I am very interested in attending one of the days aswell

Thanks for your advice everyone I think I will give the spot flea killer a go. Not sure. It's a brand new house so no other pets have been in the house. We've still got lots of sand and rubble in the back yard...maybe that's where he got them from.

Thanks for everyones comments. Both my boyfriend and I love our little boy and don't want to risk anything bad like parvo esp. since it seems very common in my surrounding suburbs at the moment. So we've decided to cancel puppy pre-school and find a proffessional dog trainer to go to once he's had his 12 week vac

All the puppy pre-schools around my area only take puppies at the starting age of 8-12 weeks...of course they haven't had their 2nd vacs by then. Is puppy pre-school worth the risk of parvo virus?? We booked in at our vet for our 11 week old pups first session for this week-but it's been cancelled till next week due to 2 puppies arriving at the vet today with Parvo! It would be horrible if our little boy got it.

Are Flea Treatments safe for puppies? I washed the dog bedding and vaccumed the carpets and got our our little beagle a puppy flea collar..but I don't think I've killed the fleas completely...I think I need to spray the carpets with flea killer. Stuff I saw at the shops were doggie safe but could flea killer be poisoness for a 11 week puppy?
