This is our new dog, Izzy. We got her on Saturday. She is purebred Beagle, 14months old.
She knows how to "sit, come, shake, and speak". We are teaching her "go home" whenever we go into the house, and I am taking her on morning and evening walks to teach her how to "heel", and it is giving me the exercise that I REALLY need. I am going to take her for morning walks inbetween changing the water on the lawn (we do not have automatic sprinklers) and with the kids in the evening while David is at school. I am hoping that I will keep it up and not get out of the habit.
She is still getting settled in and whines whenever she is left alone, that includes when we shut the door to the bedroom or bathroom. But she is getting better. She used to whine when we put her outside alone. We are keeping the name given to her by her previous owner because it is a nice name for a dog and she is already trained and responds to Izzy. When she gets out the front door, she will come when called. We plan on going to dog training/obedience classes when she gets settled into our family.
We want Izzy to be happy and obedient, even when not on a leash or in the fence. I am starting on "roll over" as well, to keep her learning and occupied. Beagles will dig and run away if they are not given enough attention. So far Izzy is a good dog and we have had no problems, but we do not expect it to be a smooth ride, she is still a young dog. The boys love her and they wear each other out.

Izzy look like a very pretty dog and sounds like she fits into the family. It's always nice to get out on walks too. Congrats on the new dog.
