Books in Barron's "Training Your Dog Series" instruct owners, giving them breed-specific advice on virtually every aspect of canine training. This newly revised title opens with a short history of the Beagle and a general description of this popular animal's personality and traits. Subsequent chapters discuss acquiring a Beagle, bonding with a newly acquired dog, purchasing collars and leashes, communicating with a Beagle and teaching basic commands, humane methods for correcting a dog's bad habits, and much more. Appealing colour photos and illustrations on most pages include many that demonstrate training methods.
