How to train a Beagle to go to the bathroom outside.?

We have had a beagle for more than a year and he still is going to the bathroom in the house even after he has been outside. He likes to go on top of my daughters toy box! He takes off all the time, and I starting to wonder if he should go to someone who is more capable of handling his breed better.How to train a Beagle to go to the bathroom outside.?
First of all, beagles need a secure fenced in area or to be on a leash or yes, they will run off. He needs two structured leash walks per day of at least 45 minutes each. Give him shorter walks (on the leash) several times a day. When he goes outside, praise him. If you've been for a lengthy walk and he still hasn't gone (and you think he should have) then put him in his crate for about 45 minutes and try again. Keep him confined to the room you are in so you can watch for signs that he needs to go. He obviously considers your daughter's toy box as prime real estate, so move it someplace where he can't get to it.How to train a Beagle to go to the bathroom outside.?
step 1





Firstly, the puppy should be kept in an enclosure that is fairly small or in a crate during the times that he is ';napping'; and at night. This is the First step to housetraining. This is because the puppy normally will not go potty in his ';bed area'; and instinctively he will keep his bed area clean.





Step 2





Secondly, at all times when you do take the puppy outside, keep him leashed, and take along some treats. The treats are only for offering to the puppy if and when he pees or poops. The leash should be long enough to allow him to move freely without being constrained by you, so that he has at least a 12 foot or so diameter area to ';investigate';.





Step 3





Thirdly, keep a ';watch'; on the puppy during the times that he is not napping and is playing or running around in the house. Do not leave food down for him to munch on (see tips below) but do leave fresh water available. Take him outside about once every hour to two hours depending on his age, when he is active.





Step 4





The puppy should be taken outside on a regular schedule, every two hours for sure. And EVERY time he begins to go to sleep, put him in his crate, and when he wakes up, take him outside. Keep a ';watch'; on him. If he begins to run around in circles and sniff along the floor, take him outside. Put him in his crate every night, do not remove him during the night unless he creates a HUGE fuss. If you do take him out of his crate, take him outside, on a leash, give him a treat if he goes potty, and bring him back inside and put him back in his bed.





Step 5





Always give a treat immediately and praise the puppy for going potty outside. Begin to use key words to elicit this behavior, words like ';hurry up'; or ';go potty'; just as he is beginning to sniff around. This WILL work. Do not play with the puppy or pay any attention to him UNLESS he eliminates. Be patient.If he has been crated for an hour or two, he most likely will go within 20 minutes. Also if he has eaten within the last half hour, he should go within 20 minutes.








Good Luck!

You need to start with the basics. Basic obedience, walking on a leash....heel, come, stay and sit.





Part of the problem is that your dog doesn't see you as alpha.





When walking your dog outside to go to the bathroom, be sure to give positive reinforcement if they go outside. Use terms like 'Go Potty', 'Go Pee' and so forth.





Keep an eye on the dog when he tries to go inside and catch them in the act and go 'BAAAH'. in a horse voice. Take them outside right away and try to get them to go. If they do, offer them praise.





Try not get physical or such. It's all about you training the dog to go outside, not that this dog is purposely peeing on your daughters toy box and such.





Crate training might be in order too.
Don't blame the breed - blame the lack of structure given to the dog by the owner (you).





It's easy to accept defeat when you just pass it off as the breed being too difficult for you, huh?





YOU need to put in the time necessary to properly potty train your dog. You can start here: http://www.my-doberman.com/potty-trainin鈥?/a>


It doesn't matter that it's a Doberman site or that it is for puppies by the way. All dogs are potty trained in the same manner and age has nothing to do with it.





If you ultimately decide to give up this dog because it is too difficult for you - don't buy another dog until you completely understand how much time, energy and patience it will require in order to properly train your dog - because you will have this problem with ANY dog you get, this is not breed specific.
Take him out right after he eats or shows restlessness. If he's wandering around your daughter's toy box, take him outside right away! If he ';goes'; outside, reward him with love and praise. Rewarding him for ';going'; outside will teach him that outside is the place to ';go';. Whenever he ';goes'; inside, scold him and take him outside. That will teach him that he needs to ';go'; outside. Monitor him if he's wandering around restlessly or anxiously and take him outside. Wandering around in a certain spot and acting restlessly are two vital signs that he has to ';go';. After he eats or has a big drink of water is a good time to take him outside. Remember to praise for the right behavior and scold the wrong behavior. Good luck!
There are harder breeds to own that Beagles. I think the problem is down to your consistency. You're just another lazy owner who is considering giving up their dog due to an issue as mundane and easily resolved as housebreaking. Many average pet owners can handle Beagles. Why can't you?





You do know that dogs like to toilet where they have toileted before? It's the smell. I suggest you thoroughly clean the toy box with disinfectant so the stale urine smell is gone (he can smell it even if you can't) and then move it where he cannot reach it.





Then research crate training. Dogs don't like to soil their own sleeping quarters so if you confine a dog and its bed in a crate, it will only toilet when it is released, which is when you put him immediately outside to toilet in the correct area and praise him when he does the correct thing. If he still toilets inside, make sure you correct him, at least verbally. Even puppies should be able to handle verbal corrections.





If you do decide to just give up on the dog because YOU can't train it, don't get another dog until you have thoroughly researched the time, consistency and effort having a dog requires. And please do not try to fob off your inability to train the breed of your dog - how ridiculous!
if you want your dog to do what you say there is only one way i have 7 dogs and this trick works on them all the time i will show them a treat i will give them each one then i will show them the other one but i dont give it to them until they do what i say if they do good then i give them the other treat
