Beagles are relatively low-maintenance. However, they need a fenced yard and either vigorous game time or a long leash walk daily. Some Beagles can be clever escape artists and will climb out of dog runs or over fences if determined. The beagle is not a good candidate for off-leash hiking, as it tends to follow a scent and does not come back when called. A Beagle can do well at dog parks as long as it is not around large aggressive dogs. Coat care requires a weekly or twice-weekly brushing or combing to remove dead hair, more in shedding season.
