Basset Hound Behavoir
If you are looking for a lazy, sleepy, and sometimes stubborn dog you are the right place. Basset hounds are just that. For example bassets love to just sleep. Now I wish I were a basset hound. Bassets are not always like this. For example, when they are sick. They don’t like to eat, move or play. On the other hand when basset hounds are excited they are crazy bassets love meeting new people. When basset hounds are mad or upset it starts with a low growl then the teeth show finally the teeth snap super fast. Same way for when they feel overprotective, but don’t be scared they are friendly dogs.
Training Your Basset
If you want a trained dog you need to train it. Same for a basset hound they aren’t pre trained once they are born. Bassets are food or treat motivated. They will run up to you for a treat. You can trick them like the classic put pills in the food trick. That will get the pill down. Wouldn’t stick to wake up needing to clean up pee or number two. Yeah, train them to go to the bathroom outside not inside. If you don’t like dog hair in your bed you need to train these sneaky dogs to not get up but stay down. Bassets are, well in my opinion, a little harder to train. If you stay consistent you will have a better basset hound puppy experience.
