Where is the best place to train a basset hound?
During the initial few days of training, it is best to select a quiet area where he is less likely to get distracted – a particular room in your house, your backyard or at any place where there is less people. When he’s reliably trained with a particular command, start to train him outside like dog parks and others. Keep him on leash when training outdoors to ensure his safety since this breed may not hear or obey you when he detects a scent that is too appealing for him to ignore.
Basset hound training is difficult but not impossible to achieve. As long as you have patience and determination, you’ll certainly come up with a well-mannered short-legged pet.
