Training a Beagle puppy requires patience and consistency, as this breed is intelligent and full of energy. Socialization is essential to help your puppy adapt to various environments and interactions. Gradually expose it to noises, people, and other animals so that it becomes a balanced and sociable dog.

House training is a crucial step in your Beagle's education. Use a positive and consistent method to teach it to do its business outside. Reward it every time it goes to the right place and avoid punishing it for accidents. Consistency and patience are key in this process.

Teach basic commands like "sit", "lie down", and "come" in a fun and positive way. Use treats and praise to encourage your puppy to obey. Short, regular training sessions are more effective than a long one.
