Training Checkers - Getting a Beagle Puppy Ready for Rabbit Season

Checkers is a 6 month old Beagle puppy who's getting trained up and ready for rabbit season! He should be ready to go by this fall, especially at this rate!

Got my beagle as a family pet. Knew they were hunting dogs but didn’t realize how strong their sense of smell is. Learned quick that it’s nothing like walking non hunting dogs. So interesting/entertaining watching them go into hunting mode even on a walk through the neighborhood

I don’t hunt with Beagles but I LOVE BEAGLES!! I love watching them hunt, bay, sniff, lay on the couch., etc. BEST DOGS EVER!!!

Hope that Checkers received a lot of hugs and treats for being such a good beagle!

These dogs are a beast at hunting rabbits I live in Virginia and sometimes we have rabbits in our back yard and when my beagle sees the rabbit his instincts kicks in and it's a amazing sight to see.

I have a little blue tick beagle. She's my puppy for sure. She's always ready to run a rabbit!! And I do mean always!!

I have a house beagle, but it is bred into them, and i believe that she could hunt. It just comes naturally to them, and their noses are incredible. My husband refuses to hunt with her because he knows that if something were to happen that i would be upset. He is a smart man. She is my dog and my child.

I have a house beagle, but he goes crazy after squirrels on our walks. Interesting fact I learned is that they are all bred with the white tip on their tails, so hunters can find them in tall grass.

That man understands not only what the dogs doing and thinking but the rabbit as well. Its crazy how intelligence expresses itself sometimes. Dude is wicked smaaat

There is nothing that compares to that first moment that a young hound takes off on that first rabbit on their own.

Fantastic dogs. Their noses are something else and that alert they give off with a high tail flag... great rustlers! I've had 2 over the years. You seem like a good fella and I appreciate that. Hope you don't retire any by leaving them in the bush or giving them a bullet. I'd make any of your retirees a home here in Canada. Cheers!

I lost the last 2 of my beagles in 2020 they were 17 years old and active right until the end eli had a stroke that killed him and dusty had cancer they were my best buds from day 1 great with the grandkids I trained them to not howl in the house but when they got on something they would howl like crazy I got 2 puppies when I retired and I love them great companions you need to know what you are getting into when you get beagles im an outdoors guy and they love it

[knuthæstenjötbrök]

This is the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life

[Clintstagram]

I don't hunt with my Beagle because she's a Pocket Beagle. But man I love watching a Beagle get trained to run some game. That little "yark" they screech out is priceless. And what a great facility to use those trees that way! Re-use at its finest.

Great video!

I've got 3 beautiful beagles in my house. They are my babies. Best dogs ever. Tbone. Roxy. And Widgit.

[shawnseay]

Nothing better than a beagle. Best dogs ever.

[garrettw]

I have a bluetick beagle I never trained a day to hunt but he can sniff out any small mammal and just get after it. He's brought me moles, rabbits, whistle pigs, a couple squirrel, even a feral cat once. He's a natural born beast

[McIver]

Man this is awesome!
The coverage of dog hunting on this channel is second to none. Ready for some more!

Also I like how the information that is passed along is educational, and informing. Keep up the good work being an advocate for hunting dogs. We need it now more than ever.

I must have watched this video a hundred times. I wish I knew a trainer here in New York because Kentucky is a long drive.
