Beagle Personalities

Kinds of Beagle Personalities

Beagle personalities are unique to each beagle. In general though beagles have a few kinds of personalities.

A lot of what we see in our dog we tend to see in our selves. Many times we assume things about our dogs because we want to believe them.

For example almost everyone thinks that their beagle is smart. In fact many people think that their pet is smarter than average. How can this be? Well who wants to think of their pet as dumb.

So when we give personalities to beagles we have to be careful and be objective about how we are classifying them.

After working with lots of beagles here are the three most common beagle personalities I have seen:

1.Inquisitive. Beagles were bred to hunt things and the inquisitive beagle personality is a natural extension of this. This beagle will always be snooping around trying to find things or exploring their environment.

2.Quiet. Where the quiet beagle personality is unique to beagles or just due to temperament, this in another common one. I think this is one of a more submissive dog or a dog that is not sure of where he fits into the pack environment. Beagles who are not sure of their status in the pack tend to be more apprehensive.

3.Go Along Dog. This is a great pack dog. It loves to hang around family and other dogs and do what they are doing. This is the best of all beagle personalities to have.

The Go Along Dog will play with you and give you lots of attention. Make sure you reinforce this behavior with lots of positive reinforcement.

These are just some of the beagle personalities I have seen and that I think are the most common among beagles.

Beagle personalities often come out as puppies, and once they start walking around you can often tell their temperament after just spending one hour with them.

It can be hard to change a dogs personality, just like changing a humans personality is hard. You just have to accept your beagle for who they are and love them.
