Question
Hi my name is josh i have a 2 year old beagle who likes to chew and eat things that aren't hers. Also we bought a bed for her which she chewed a hole into and got the stuffing all over the house. Can you give me any pointers?

Answer
Hello Josh!
Beagles are very stubborn and arrogant dogs. They want it their way at all times. There are some things you can do to train her to stop. One, which is the most obvious is get her professionally obdient trained. Which may be pricy depending on where you or who trains her. Some other things you can do is when you see her do it say NO firmly and point your index finger at her. Scold her when she doesn't obey, as well as praise her when she does it right. Something else you can do is get a spray bottle fill it with water and when she does something wrong spray it at her and she will eventually say i'm doing something wrong. Also try to keep things she isn't supposed to chew around her. Try those things and if you need anymore help don't hesitate to ask anymore questions. Good luck and I hope for the best.
