Found out those severe yelps, high pitched and almost terror stricken means she REALLY needs to go out and potty. Those are the only times he reacts to her. Yeah, We learned that with Enoch when we first brought him home. (I messed up the quotes. This was in response to her yelping when she has to go potty.)

However, I need my timing to be better when I come here. Lucy just got quiet in her crate and I read your post and almost choked to death trying NOT to guffaw out loud. Thanks for the laugh! Look! I DO fit in the bag.

I will win though...and I do have earplugs. Jo, Keep a bag of Zuke's mini treats on top of her crate. When it is time to go in, just toss in 3 little treats. Reluctance will be gone in an instant. And Beagles are excellent foodhounds, you will not have a problem any longer! Even my most (formerly) reluctant dogs crate themselves if they even think I might be reaching for the treat bag. One guy has even learned how to open his (unlatched) crate door with his nose to get in. P.S. I logged in just to read about Lucy, I'm glad it is going so well. How does she like her raw food?

You are a wonderful person to adopt an older dog in need . Once she realizes her life of eating raw and running around a large property she'll be the happiest dog ever!!!

You will be happy if you start a little poop journal, too, because it's useful in many ways. If you need to adjust poop time for a time when you are home to walk her, that can be done by modifying feeding schedules. You can do the same to avoid having poop time in the middle of the night. It's also great to have it around the time of her "power walk" because the peristaltic action is such a powerful poop-starter.

Connie Sutherland Moderator Reg: 07-13-2005 Posts: 31571 Loc: North-Central coast of California Offline	Here is a good Beagle story: I have a couple of rescued Pugs who belong to a different training club from GSDs, and the members are almost all Pugs, plus a few other mainly smallish dogs. One of the larger ones is a Beagle. When he joined, within one hour of his first club meeting he had taught nearly all of the 19 Pugs, 1 Corgi, and a terrier mix to howl. NONE of these dogs had ever howled. It's hard to describe how funny 19 howling Pugs are.
