Sunday afternoon in the garden with guests and food! ☀️

I’m know crazy! Food on the table. Drinks poured.

💤 A greyhound asleep on the sofa taking up 90% of the space.

And my Pepper?

Just... lying there.

😳 Quietly. Chilling.

Not barking at the neighbour who is watering his plants.

Not losing her mind at any sound.

Not trying to eat all the food.

Not making my friend question every life choice that led her to this garden. 😂

🐾 Just chilling.

It didn't used to look like this.

🙈 Pepper has OCD barking behaviours.

😩 Garden time used to mean constant scanning, alerting, going off like a car alarm at absolutely nothing.

🐦 Pigeons sent her crazy if they landed in the garden…

…whereas now she just watches them.

I put the work in. Not traditional obedience.

Not "no" and treats.

🥸 Proper beagle-specific work around her stimulation levels, her brain, her breed.

And Daisy? She’s upstairs. Fast asleep.

Absolutely unbothered as well. Classic Daisy. 😄

☀️ 🍔 This is what summer can look like for you and your beagle too.

Separation Anxiety - does your beagle have it?

Or is it FOMO (fear of missing out)?!

Beagles are a true pack breed.

They gain comfort, security and confidence from their pack mates.

And we are part of that pack.

Which is why separation anxiety is incredibly common in beagles…

But so is FOMO 😄

If your beagle is young, they are genetically programmed to follow.

It’s about safety… and learning from the rest of the pack.

So when you leave, they don’t think “oh she’ll be back soon”

They think “why have you left me behind?”

The good news is, you don’t need to figure out if it’s separation anxiety or FOMO.

Because the training is the same for both.

The only difference?

FOMO is usually easier to crack, and you’ll often see progress much quicker.

If you’re struggling with:

✔️ A beagle who is stuck to you like glue (including needing to sleep on or near you)

✔️ A beagle who gets upset when you leave… even if someone else is home

✔️ A beagle who loses its mind when you go upstairs without them

✔️ A beagle who barks and howls when left

✔️ A beagle who destroys things trying to get out

✔️ A beagle who toilets in the house… but only when you’re out

Then let’s get this sorted, for both of you.

Separation anxiety can be debilitating.

😩 It can leave you feeling isolated because you can’t go out

😩 It can become expensive with daycare or pet sitters

😩 It can put pressure on relationships at home and with neighbours

😩 And sadly… it’s one of the top reasons beagles are given up

But it doesn’t have to stay this way.

Come and join me next week and I’ll show you how to work with this in a way that actually helps your beagle feel safe.

Take care and happy beagling,

Have you ever left the house and felt that knot in your stomach… wondering what your beagle is doing the moment you close the door?

The barking.
The howling.
The pacing.

The destruction.

The p*e and poo.
The feeling that they just can’t cope without you.

Separation anxiety isn’t just “they miss you”… it’s panic.

And for many beagles, it’s overwhelming for both them and you.

That’s why in April I’m running a

4-Week Beagle Separation Anxiety Group Training 🐶

✨ Weeks 1 & 2 – Foundations

We focus on:

✔️ Understanding what’s really happening in your beagle’s brain

✔️ Why some beagles struggle more than others

✔️ How attachment builds (and how to gently rebalance it)

✔️ Resetting how your beagle feels about you moving around the house

✔️ Teaching them that being alone doesn’t mean something bad is about to happen

We start inside the home first… because if they can’t cope with you going into another room, they won’t cope with you leaving the house.

✨ Weeks 3 & 4 – Building Alone Time

Only once the foundations are in place do we begin:

✔️ Gradually increasing alone time

✔️ Reducing panic responses step by step

✔️ Helping your beagle feel safe enough to rest when you’re gone

✔️ Working at your beagle’s pace so we don’t push them too far too quickly

Because a beagle who:

• Is overly attached to one person
• Is already anxious or overstimulated
• Has never been shown how to be alone
• Has had their distress ignored or misunderstood

Isn’t in the right place to “just be left”.

And yes… this works even though I’m not physically there.

I’ll guide you through:

✔️ What to look for

✔️ How to read their behaviour

✔️ How to progress at the right sp*ed

✔️ When to pause and when to move forward

You’ll have a clear plan, support throughout, and a much better understanding of your beagle.

If you’d like more information, have a look in the comments below where I’ve shared the details and how to see if this is the right fit for you and your beagle 🧡

🐾 Your beagles leash reactivity is not your fault!

It's the lead. 🦮

The lead isn't just frustrating your beagle. It's the trigger for everything.

🐶 Off lead, most beagles are completely different dogs.
🐶 On a lead they lose all their choices.

They can't go and say hello on their terms if they love to see every dog or person.

They can't create space if something scares them.

That trapped feeling is exactly what tips them into a meltdown.

And everything you've been told about fixing it?

It's advice designed for a Labrador who is bred to focus on their handler and is able to sit still with training.

The reason we struggle is our delightful beagles were NOT bred to focus on their handler or sit still 🤣

We need to not only use a completely different way of helping our beagles with reacitivity but we need to learn to ignore the naysayers.

We having a hunting breed not an obedience breed.

My 4-Week Beagle Leash Pulling & Reactivity Course is designed to help you get your walks back whether that's pulling or reactivity or both.

⭐ Beagle-specific. Not generic dog training.
⭐ Starts Wednesday 11th March, 7pm UK, 3pm Est
⭐ Recorded if you can't make the lives.

The link in the comments has all the information around how the training works. 👇

Spolier alert - you won't need your beagle 😉

The life of The Beagle Lady. A farting Pepper 🤣

17/02/2026

This one wasn't always this chill 😁

At 11 months old, when I adopted her, she drove me absolutely INSANE. 🤯

😵‍💫 She was bouncing off the walls,
😵‍💫 Grabbing anything she could chew,
😵‍💫 And bothering poor Daisy so much Daisy nearly lost her voice shouting at her.

Pepper hadn’t yet learned that the strange wired feeling in her brain 🧠
...caused by a full day of stimulation and natural evening hormones...
..actually meant she just needed to lie down and sleep!

Like many beagle pups and adolescents, she had discovered her own way of switching off…

🫨 ZOOMIES 🫨

And those zoomies quickly turned into stealing things, ankle nipping, barking, and general evening chaos.

If I had left her to it, this routine would have carried on until late every night.

Many people are told that dogs will simply go to sleep when they are tired, but pack-driven breeds often need to be shown how to settle.

Beagles learn through watching, copying, and gentle direction, just as they would within their natural pack.

Once we showed Pepper how evenings were meant to feel, everything changed.

In tomorrow's online evening training, I’ll show you how to look at:

🐶 your beagle’s day to make sure it isn't contributing to the evening chaos.
🐶 reduce evening overstimulation.
🐶 teach them how to switch from...

“let’s go crazy” to “let’s lie down and relax.”

Love my girls and love Ricky Gervais for loving dogs and all animals. His words are spot on!

Evenings can feel like the hardest part of the day with a beagle…puppy or older!

I remember it all too well with puppy Lois (pictured)

But also I had it with Billy too (in the middle).

Four years old when I adopted him and he had no clue how to settle in the evening.

I remember just sitting down and then a switch off,

…their energy seemed to switch on.

Zoomies, barking, chewing, pacing, stealing, guarding, refusing to settle… and everyone ends up exhausted.

The truth is, this isn’t about “bad behaviour”.

🤯 Evening madness is often a sign of an overstimulated nervous system,

…that just hasn’t been shown how to switch into rest mode.

But you can absolutely have a calm evening.

With snoozing beagles from as early as 5pm, if that’s what you want.

That’s why I’m running a live training workshop on Zoom next week.

“The Calm Beagle Evening Reset”

In this session I’ll show you:

🐶 Why evenings are the most challenging time for many beagles

🐶 The simple routine that helps their brains move into calm mode

🐶 How to prevent the second-wind chaos before it starts

🐶 What to do when they just won’t settle

🐶 How to manage difficult behaviour

🐶 Why walking or playing with them can make it worse.

🐶 Live Q&A so you can get help specific to your beagle

🤓 If calm evenings would make life feel easier right now,

…this workshop will give you a clear plan to start using straight away.

🥳 Comment EVENING below and I’ll send you the details.

🐶 A lady temporarily lost her dog today.

🎵 Using a whistle is brilliant.
But here’s the bit most people don’t realise…

🧠 If a dog is genetically wired to track, hunt or chase like our beagles are, and they are in that mode, they will not respond to a whistle until their brain says the job is done.

It’s not disobedience.
It’s biology.

🚫 The other really important thing… don’t move.

I couldn’t get close enough to guide her, but she actually walked away from the area trying to find her dog.

Most dogs, especially scent hounds, will track back to the last place they saw you.
That’s why a beagle often turns to look at you before shooting off.

📍 Stay put.
📢 Blow the whistle every 10 to 15 seconds.

You’re trying to catch that moment when they stop tracking or chasing.
That’s when they’ll suddenly come flying back like nothing ever happened.

Beagles hear incredibly well and that whistle will carry much further than your voice.

🧡 Calm. Still. Consistent.
