Take the Dog Approach, to Promote Positive Dog Behavior.
Once your Sunshine Acres Beagle has been trained and is an established & responsible member of the family, you can live the many years in harmony.
Until they have reached a balanced state of mind there with your pack however,
it is important to remember that they are your dependent dog, and it is up to you to guide their behaviors.

Quote from the Dog Whisperer:
One of the most important things I want to get
across is that dogs are dogs—not humans!
- Find a canine solution. Often, the solution we would use for a human is totally wrong for solving a dog’s issues. For example, when a human sees a scared or nervous dog, s/he will first offer comfort and consolation. This would never happen in the animal world and can make the problem worse instead of better, because it reinforces unstable behavior.
Understanding the way dogs interact will help you become more effective in your communication.
Quote from the Dog Whisperer:
- Speak the animal language. When dogs come into our homes, they meet emotional energy for the first time. We shower them with affection and babble at them in high-pitched baby-talk, so they see us as excited energy. This is why many dogs don’t listen to their human caretakers. Their mothers never acted this way; where did that calm-assertive leadership go?
We recommend families speak to your dog in a way he or she can understand, until they learn English! lol. Simply saying “no no” in a teasing voice does NOT tell your new puppy anything. He doesn’t understand your words, but he will understand your actions, and the meaning of your tone, demeanor, eye contact, as it reflects your message.
We also encourage families to start with gentle, yet firm, hands while handling their new puppy. This also means that when your puppy first comes home, do not roughhouse or otherwise rile up your pup. You don’t want to set him up to think that energy level will always be acceptable down the road. While he is being established, you also don’t want to encourage him or her to think of you as a littermate, whom they are used to wrestling with while creating pecking order. Your hands are not irresponsible like his littermate’s mouths are. Your hands are assertive, like the mother dogs mouth & paws are.
Be patient, Be responsive, and be consistent.

Quote from the Dog Whisperer:
- Treat your dog like a dog. We often develop a different agenda for our dogs. We want to make puppies our babies. From day one, many humans forget to fulfill and understand their dog's needs and instead project their own needs and desires on the animal.
Beagles are a great size for indoor living, and this breed of dogs has great potential for developing an even temperament. There are beagles who are more simple than others, and one beagle may have more passion than another. While every individual dog’s behavior can vary greatly, the beagle is overall an endearing breed.
There are some people who have done their research and became interested in getting a beagle because they are said to be the easiest to handle, just a sweet ole dog.
Our beagles are not bred to be just a dog. They can however have the same learning process of a dog. Working to take away the typical Dog pre-settings though is what makes raising a Sunshine Acres Beagle Puppy into your Companion pet more manageable, as you have complete influence over their purpose in life.
Because they don’t already come with the dog defaults, the bloodline’s driving instincts, or the animal influences received subconsciously as an infant, you can program them to be the way you want them to be, and they can be perfectly content with that lifestyle!

Quote from the Dog Whisperer:
- Be the pack leader! In the absence of a clear leader, a dog, even a submissive one, will seek to fill what they see as the vacant leadership role. The dog will ignore the owner, act out, and can lead to serious behavior issues.
Imagine if your significant other mistook your needs for the needs of a chimpanzee; where would that leave you? Confused and disoriented. It’s the same for dogs. But their confusion and disorientation manifest in bad behavior such as tearing up the couch or incessant barking. If we don’t fulfill them as a species, our dogs won’t live a balanced, centered life.
Understanding and projecting a pack leader’s calm-assertive energy will create a positive and lasting connection with your dog.
The good news is if you are dedicated to establishing and maintaining a life of balance with your new addition, then your pack will enjoy the benefits of living in a balanced, healthy, happy, and harmonious life.
