Training Your Beagle (Training Your Dog Series)

Summary: Get this book! Avoid "The Beagle Handbook"
Review: This is an excellent and concise introduction to beagles, as well as a training manual. The writing and organization are clear and succinct. The photos are wonderful, and if you don't already have a beagle, they may push you over the edge.

I received both this book and "The Beagle Handbook" as gifts shortly after adopting my first beagle. I found the latter to be terribly written -- to the point that it became difficult to continue reading on many occasions. The information contained is similar, though I think Kraeuter does a better job at summarizing her research, and is much more clear when discussing training. Most of all, her straight forward prose won't get in the way of your reading enjoyment.

If you buy only one Beagle book (and why would you buy more?) I highly recommend this one for its comprehensive information on the breed as well as its clear and easy-to-read presentation.

Summary: A very interesting book
Review: this year my wife and I planned to buy a dog, for the first time in my life i face a beagle, with the help of this book I had trained and understood what was in this dog mind... I really enjoyed reading it, is very simple, but helpfull. Every day a see how the words in the book come to reality in my dog. I was not a beagle lover but right now is my favorite race. I really recommend this book for people who want to bond with his beagle, it is easy to read and understand. Enjoy your life with a beagle. :)

Summary: Training Your Beagle Review
Review: Upon reading this excellent book I have obtained a better understanding of the breed of Beagles. Being a somewhat new owner of the dog I have come across a variety of problems and situations. Last night I read a particular chapter and really started working with the dog and I must say last nights walk was a very big improvement and I can't wait to do more with him. This book is a must for all Beaglers, new and old. It is evident that the author has a vast amount of knowledge with the breed and I can tell that I will refer to this book for some time to come. I couldn't be happier with the low price and the easy reading layout of the book itself.
