My beagle puppy wont stop biting/going mad? Please help i dont know what else to do.?
I have a male beagle puppy, 10 weeks old. He is fine all day and when he has to sleep at night. Just from around 7-11pm he goes absoloutely mad. he runs around alot and if we try to pet him he just nips and bites back. you cant leave your feet on the floor and he has them scraped and bitten. He just won’t calm down he seems so frustrated. Ive tried him with a nylabone, and putting a rope toy in the freezer and giving him it to chew on but none of this works. He also seems to pee alot in the house around this time when he is fine the rest of the time and goes outside. I walk my puppy twice a day and i let him out regularly for a run around the garden. I dont know what else to do I really want to keep the puppy and im afraid my dad will make me give him back 
ive tried being firm with him, and ive tried yelping as his littermates would but nothing has working. I know he was wat to young to get him neutered but he is starting to hump things aswell? Please help I really really love him otherwise and dont want to give him back.
i have seen vets neuter at 8 weeks
but the dog just needs training and exercise.
get a puppy training book if you can’t get a trainer.
does he have rabies!!??
This is not irregular for a beagle and especially not for a puppy. There is an old saying “you never own a Beagle” meaning, it will do what it wants, when it wants. You will find it always has energy and must be trained well. He should be neutered as soon as he can. A low toned No or flick on the nose will teach him what he cant do, but dont overdo it.
I would also note that taking him to a few puppy classes can teach him social skills with other people and dogs
As a breeder. we call this the “puppy zoomies’ and it almost always happens between 7 PM and bedtime. It’s a way for a puppy to release the daytime tension. They really do outgrow this, but until then, this is the time to take your puppy outside for some active exercise to burn off the energy.
He is a hunter and needs way more running exercise. I would teach him to run and fetch. You could throw a ball for him as long as he does not get bored. Is there a large dog park in your area.
TRY AND KEEP HIM AWAKE MORE DURING THE DAY, BEAGLES REQUIRE A LOT OF EXERCISE DO A LONG WALK IN THE EVENING TO TIRE HIM OUT AS FOR THE BITING , THIS MAY SOUND WIERD BUT IT WORKS WHEN THE PUPPY BITES YOU USE A HIGH PITCHED SOUND LIKE A SCREAM SO THAT IT SCARES A LITTLE THE PUP WILL KNOW THAT IT HURT YOU THEN , THE REASON WHY THEY DO THIS IS BECAUSE THEY LEARN FROM THIER LITTERMATES HOW FAR TO PUSH EACH OTHER THEY BOTH KNOW WHEN IT HURTS, =)
Well, Rebeca? He is a Beagle. They are quite the dogs, the last one I had was named Sammy and he was much the same way. How did I cure the problem? Well your dad won’t like this one either, but I put in a doggy door so that he could get outside – he wanted to hunt! Every evening he would go out and chase squirrels, rabbits, skunks, (yes skunks, not a good thing) possums and anything else he could find. When he was done hunting he would come in and go to bed and be fine until the next evening. I live on a large acreage in the middle of nowhere so this was an easy fix. I gather by the tone of your post you do not have a similar environment so you might try a long walk in the park. Happy Hunting
Try walking or jogging with him at that time to REALLY tire him out. He’ll be easier to submit to your rules if he is exhausted. Also, don’t pet him if he is in this “crazy” state, that is just about the worst thing you can do because it’s like you’re encouraging him. Make sure when you are walking him, that you are in front of him and also when you leave and enter the house you are first through the door. The alpha of the pack always leads the other dogs. Also, a dog can “read” what you’re feeling in a matter of speaking, try projecting a leader-ish and in-charge vibe, not aggressive, just calm and in control. If he tries to nip at your feet try and correct him by saying “no” or whatever you like in a non-agressive-controlled fashion.
Hope that works. I love beagles by the way.
Lots and lots of exercise! Beagles are hunting dogs and if they don’t have a job to do they have tons of pent up energy and nowhere to go with it. I know you walk him twice a day, but how hard and how long do you walk him? He needs to go jogging or for vigorous long walks–whatever it takes to wear him out. Get him in agility training or puppy classes. His humping has nothing to do with him being intact (not neutered)–he is not sexual mature until he is at least 6 months old. He is displaying dominance by humping, so if you see him do it you need to correct the behavior immediately. This is also why he bites and nips at you and doesn’t listen–he has pent up energy and he is displaying his dominance over you.
walk him, walk him, walk him!
