crazy beagle lady

So Sorry to hear about your baby

Avocados My little guy has been known to have a little avocado Thank you for posting- Ava no more. I knew most of the other food groups were a No, No but not the Ava.

Hiya Anne, Have you tried epiotic or baby oil/olive oil on a cotton bud? You can grab epiotic @ the vet over the counter- But still best to go to the vet, just incase he needs antibiotics. Epiotic will be great for murray aswell with those long ears of his

Our Vet is fantastic: what a kind loving clinic, each nurse knows each dog/cats name and as most of the vets and nurses live in my area we all see each other socially @ the park. My Vet never rips me off or tries to sell me foods/medications we dont need, They will set up an account for you so you dont need to re mortage the house in case of an emergency. They have stayed back after hours on numerous occasions and taken me into the operating areas to explain what they would be doing to my little guy. There wil be a few bottles of wine being dropped off @ xmas.

Hi, We use Vinegar and Grated Carrott, Tried dog rocks for 3 months, they did make a diffrence but the boys were not drinking enough water- got rid of the rocks and now they are drinking enough water again- strange but true!

Hi Anne, I spent 3 months researching what i thought would be the RIGHT Club for my Beagle Boys, Every week we drive past Moorabbin, Bentleigh, Brighton, Cheltenham and the list goes on....all the way down the Southern Obediance in Bangholme. You know your dog, you know yourself and most of all you know both of your strengths and weaknesses. Good on you for finding a club that works for you and Murray, I know the first time i saw my evil beagle running free at southern that we had finally found the right place for him. I dont think it would be possible to learn in an environment that you are not comfortable in, so good on you, glad to hear that your darling boy and you are getting the help you need (after all- beagles are a very special breed- as are the owners!) im estatic for you both, keep in mind i have been told by soooo many trainers that beagles are damm near untrainable- not true, If we can make it to begginers level 5 then anything is possible I look forward to hearing your updates. Tam and beagle boys!

Hiya Loony, Hope things have started getting better for you?! Im glad that you have been offered so much advice for our wonderful breed and in your circumstance i will agree in hindsight that a second dog right now may not be the anser for you right now. When we got our second beagle it was not to stop destructive behaviour! but more as a companion for all- pretty similar to jimmy james. And yes-Haven you are 100 % correct: a second dog is not he answer for bad/naughty/destructive behaviour in the first! Gota fix the first before thinking about the second! Beagles do ultimatley thrive in a pack situation though and a busy beagle is a happy beagle, I wouldnt swap my boys for all the tea in china!

Hi Loony, I tend to agree with the advice that the others have given you, i forgot to add that last night! I actually got my big beagle charlie a christmas present 2 years ago- his name was hamish! Beagles thrive in a pack environment and believe me the mess of one bored beagle is far worse than the mess of 2 playful beagles! They constantly play with each other and groom each other and slowly but surely my backgarden is looking less and less like the surface of the moon!! Honestly- cant go wrong with 2 puppies and there are always more puppies to be saved australia wide! If you decide to get another friend for toby it dosent Have to be a another beagle- any breed will do and what a diffrence you will see! Have you been online to the beagle clubs around Australia- they are fantastic, go to www.beagleclubnsw.org.au: and you will see the links for every other state. Best of luck again ;)

Hi, We suffered from the same prob in the early days Never leave your washing@ a level the darling beagle/s can reach it- and watch out, if these guys want something they will get it!!! After many casulaties we lay a grate (partial fencing) under the clothes line- and since that day my washing has remained beagle free!! ;) Perhaps with summer nearly here you can sit outside and play with him while the washing is drying, introducing him to new scents and games, turn a negitive into a positive. Beagles require alot more exercising than most people realise- they are such busy, intelligent dogs and need to be kept both physically and mentally stimulated. I walk my beagles twice a day, even if you are going up the street for the paper or milk bring him with you, you will be well rewarded for it. If you get some empty soft drink bottles (rinse them out and clean them, make sure they are dry) and put a small handfull of dry food in the bottle, put the lid back on as tight as possible and trhow it in the backgarden for your darling- it will keep him/her busy for quite sometime trying to get to their beloved treats! (and inexpensive for you aswell). If you have any old stockings/nylons, put a tennis ball in one and tie it so that its hangin from a tree branch (not too high up, dont want to hurt his legs with excessive high jumping) - will keep puppy busy jumping/clawing for it! Also highly recommend a KONG Ball (black or red) put some peanut butter in it and your darling beagle will be busy all morning. Being a scent hound your darling boy will thrive off all new scents he encounters and the more walks the more scents- the happier the hound. As for his food, have you tried eco-pet? or even cooking minced meat, carrot and brocolli- my guys also love cheese, apples and just about any other food group you can think of- but what beagle dosent! Basically the more you involve your beagle in your life the less destructive he will be, they are such a friendly, family loving breed and you will all benefit from more time and exercise together. Have you enrolled him in any training? my two boys have thrived since they we were all enrolled in school!! and believe me one of my beagles is extremly naughty- im sure he pretends to like the taste of tobasco just to spite me!! Best of luck with him, hope it works out
