My Beagle Has Turned My Home into a Barking Concert😩
I’ve had my Beagle for just over 2 years, and up until recently he was the most mellow, easygoing boy. Then, out of nowhere, it’s like a switch flipped—now he barks at everything.
Not just the occasional alert bark, but constant, all day long. Car doors, neighbors walking past, birds, the mail truck, even the fridge humming or shadows on the wall. And at night? He lets out these long, haunting howls that echo through the house and jolt me awake.
I’ve tried everything: long walks, extra play, puzzle toys, reward training, ignoring, comforting, blocking windows, even leaving the TV on. Every “Google trick” in the book—nothing sticks.
The hardest part is I feel like I’m failing him. I know he’s not barking just to be a pain, but maybe out of stress or something deeper. Still, between no sleep, unhappy neighbors, and my own frayed nerves, I’m burning out. I love him more than anything, but I’m scared I can’t manage this forever.
Has anyone else survived this stage with their Beagle? I could really use a little hope right now.
