Beagles are considered to be very stubborn dogs, that aren t always easy to train. However, they are a very smart breed of dog and despite their very short attention span; they really do want to please you. Beagle puppies learn very quickly, but often it seems like they forget everything right after you teach it to them. This is why persistence is a big part of potty training beagles.

While your cute little puppy may seem to be getting the hang of potty training, it is not always true and you may end up with a mess or two on your floor before you are finished. Something like this will happen from time to time, but if it happens more than once a week, you know you have a problem. Since your beagle doesn t know any better, he may continue to do this until you train him otherwise.
