i recently acquired a baby beagle , he couldnt be more than 9 or 10 weeks old, he was left on my porch in a basket with a blanket in it , i thought it was a for real baby! people now a days just drop animals anywhere! fleas are bad here so you either have indoor pet or outdoor pet, we want to keep him indoors but im having trouble with the potty part of process! never had a pet so i made a POTTY BOX and lined with newspaper and gave a treat when he would use it i would take him to it every 30 min but i cant get him to do it without me or poop in it he poops everywhere ! i need help!
what exactly is crate training?
Litter boxes really aren’t for dogs, try taking him outside very often, about once an hour while he is still a puppy. Crate training is also very beneficial for a dog, especially if you work during the day or when you leave the house (it also helps to keep the chewing down too). Make sure you also walk him everyday. Dogs take alot more work than that, I would recommend getting some books on puppy training and on beagles as all breeds have different traits and habits. If you are worried about fleas then go to a vet and get some medicine. Not only are fleas annoying but they can be dangerous for a dog if they get too many, especially a puppy. Just don’t use the cheapy drug store meds, there have been reports of serious illnesses in animals from those. Dogs are expensive, don’t keep him if you aren’t up for the expenses or the effort.


No dog should be allowed to go inside the house. Google Crate Training and purchase a crate.
ADD: Crate training is ONE method of potty training your dog.

well the first thing you need to do is realize you can not keep a beagle, of all breeds inside! they are too active, they bark alot and they need to be able to sniff around and move alot! you should potty train him to go outside on a leash. Advantix will prevent fleas and it shouldnt be too bad if he’s only outside for walks and to potty. you should also spray garlic oil on his food which helps prevent fleas and tics too! make sure you take him to the vet before putting any flea treatment on him because he has to be atleast 8 weeks old. he also needs his shots asap. you are going to be very annoyed if you keep him inside 24/7. if you cant give him outside time you should take him to the humane society while he is still a puppy so he has a better chance of getting adopted. he is the wrong breed to be kept indoors. you should read about the beagle as a breed to get some more info. he is definlety not a cat.
good luck

Yes, do crate training! Don’t teach your puppy it is ok to poop in the house. You are just setting yourself up for trouble. Google "crate training for a puppy" and follow the links.
My family got a golden retriever pup at 9 wks of age and I crate trained her. She was fully housebroken at about 4 or 5 months of age. I highly recommend using that method. She was kept in her crate when we were not home, then we let her out every 30 mins for several months, until her bladder grew and she could hold it longer.
Beagles are a bit "wild". My in-laws have one who only comes in at night to sleep. All day long she is outside (in the country) chasing rabbits and following her nose.
