Beagles are energetic bundles of energy, and when that energy isn't used well, it is stored as fat. Beagles need a minimum of three to four hours of aerobic exercise every day. This can be in the form of fetch, running, brisk walking, swimming, scent work, agility, hiking, flyball...the list goes on. In short, there's nothing you can't do with a Beagle.
A lack of physical exercise causes boredom and boredom-based destructive behaviour such as chewing, mouthing, biting, constant howling, and pacing. In addition to physical exercise, these smart hounds need something to work on during the day. Now, what would you prefer - a puzzle toy with a productive outcome or the leg of a sofa with a not-so productive outcome? When it comes to training, Beagles are easy-to-train and always willing to earn. They enjoy obedience training when it involves games as opposed to commands.
