What is the best way to take care of a beagle emotionally?

Phsyically a young beagle needs lots of exercise, lots of water and his food needs to be monitored and rationed so he doesnt become overweight. ice cubes, carrots and other natural foods are good treats in place of store bought dog treats with lots of extra calories and unneccessary carbs. emotionally, beagles love positive reinforcement, and love to be treated like a member of the family. they dont like to be scolded which is why its best to use the positive reinforcement approach- their feelings get hurt easily.
