I used a hot water bottle with mine and he settled quite quickly. A friend of mine who recently got a puppy, used one of those microwaveable ones (she found one that came inside a little stuffed dog!!) and that worked for her.

Yeah we left her. It was horrible though. I had to go around to the neighbours to reassure that we weren't murdering babies
Housetrained her by using the good old paper by the door method, and taking her outside very regularly. Took her months though.
Beagles are very stubborn. Adorably cute though.
I miss having a dog.
how old is that beagle?? so cute!! Jaffa has been going into his crate a couple times tonight on his own,he even sat down in it once! 
One of my dogs has had a cage since it was a pup. She loves it.
The 2 year old dog ive only had for a few months didn't like the cage at first but now loves the cage too and goes off on his own to sleep in it now.

Hiya
My family breeds dogs and I would say ditto pretty much to what everyone else has said so far. Just takes time and patience with a pup! He will eventually settle down as already been said try the hot water bottle in blankets and fill his sleeping area with toys, anything he finds comforting!

Aren't they bred specifically to be hunting pack animals? A friend of ours has one and it has all but destroyed the house because they were not prepared to be remotely firm when training it. It is now the leader of that family pack, and no friends will visit.

A dog should never rule the roost!
Our pups 2 1/2 year old (Alsation). He never did his jobs in the house.
Take them outside 1/2 hour after each meal and everytime they wake up. Take a treat with you and give it to him when he's done his job and praise him.
Pups can usually go all night after 12-14 weeks.
Our pup didn't like the cage either but we started feeding him in there with the door open and eventually he got used to it.
He is now caged in the car and just jumps into it.
Paitence and hard work, frustrating at times, but it does work.
Good luck and look on the bright side, in a few months he'll be a great companion.

Well, there are two types of beagles - the larger hunting ones (which you used to see fox hunting) which are bred for specifically hunting and the smaller pet ones.
Although the smaller beagles are still very much pack animals and are just noses on legs. They're difficult to train because they're so stubborn and independent thinking - and yet they like company (Beagles tend to get separation anxiety). They get bored extremely quickly and easily, because they need a job to do - i.e. hunt! They need lots and lots of exercise.
Looking after a beagle can be a full time job.

We had a beagle cross, and he did exactly the same (he was over a year old when we got him, hadn't been trained). The first time I left him, he chewed up the kitchen chairs! I ended up taking him with me in the car, which he liked - he'd just go to sleep on the back seat when I left him. He did grow out of it eventually, but I sure wish we'd "crate-trained" him!

My beagle pup used to howl the place down when she was left alone. I'm only talking about 30 minutes as well, as she was never left very long. Once she was left for an hour, got onto the kitchen table, onto the kitchen window cil and chewed wine bottles, picture frames and plants...
I am so glad you have a puppy, they are so cute,
I hope he settles down soon. My Scully cried the first
night, so I gave her a huge Teddy bear (a safe one)-no glass eyes!
it was bigger than her, she snuggled up and finally
went to sleep. I never used a crate. Hope all goes
well at the vets, give us an update tomorrow, Love, Sue x

Sadly, our beagle cross had untreatable epilepsy, and had to be put down eventually. We went back to cats after that! It's absolutely essential to be firm with training, though, beagles really can rule the roost. If the OP can find an enclosed area for exercise where the dog can't run off too far, that would be best, as beagles are not best known for coming when called!
hello everyone!! well we put himin the crate last night to sleep and my mum go up at 2 in the morning to let him out 4 a wee, then she put him bk in there but he wasnt crying as much as the first night! iv tryed giving him food this morning but he ate a little bit but not much,do you think thats normal for apuppy to not eat much at this point? its only his 2nd day him been with us!

Did you ask what sort of food he's been used to? Animals can be quite fussy, if you're giving him something different, he might be a bit unsure about it (sorry if you've mentioned this before). If he's lively and bright-eyed, and most importantly drinking plenty, he should be fine, he's just got more interesting things to do than eat at the moment! Pretty much like bringing up kids, really (they even bite!).
hes drinkin,nbut not a great deal either he keeps sleeping lol,were feedin him the same food the breeder gave him and we have been told to not give him anything else! ill get the vet to check him out later,he keeps playing with his soft toy now

Aww poor dog! Yes I have a cat now
Yeah you have to be really firm with training and do it all the time. My beagle would pick up training really quickly in the house or in the garden but would never EVER listen to you outside on walks etc. She was just too distracted by smells and other dogs. All she ever wanted was to be with other dogs. She would go disappearing off on her own but luckily never went very far as I only used to let her off in a field. Beagles can go missing for hours!
we are using training pads to train him and he will wee on them but he will not poo on them,he keeps poo-ing elslewere do you think we shud take him into the garden and let him have a run around and see if hes poos ther? he hasnt had his vaccinations yet thats the only thing,he will have his first lot this afternoon.
Hi Flowergirl.
We got an 8 week old collie/spaniel cross yesterday. He's not eaten a huge amount yet either, but it must be quite stressful for them being taken somewhere new etc. so I'm not too concerned.
He's got masses of energy anyway and has been playing with his toys for the past 3 hours before crashing out on my feet!
Your vet will give pup a good check over when he goes for his vaccinations, so don't worry too much. Good luck, I hope all goes well. (Barney has his 1st vaccinations on Thursday)

The breeder you got him from should have given you some of the food he has been used to and told you when to feed him and how much.
They also should have told you how to start toilet traing him (most breeders will have already started this and will tell you what they have been doing) and they should also have told you how to deal with the separation.
Dealing with puppies needs an awful lot of research before you actually bring one home.
