Situations Trauma Therapy Help's With:
Ex Breeding Beagles

Not all breeding facilities or home breeding set-ups are what they seem. Kellie has worked with many traumatised ex-breeding beagles who came from Kennel Club registered breeders.
However, the majority of cases come from both legal and illegal puppy farms, where poor early handling, stress, and lack of socialisation leave lasting emotional scars.

Many puppy-farmed beagles are taken from their mums far too young and transported in terrifying conditions. Even when legally bred, they often miss out on crucial handling, sleep, and socialisation.
The result is a sensitive, anxious dog who struggles to settle, trust, or cope with everyday life — and the effects can last well into adulthood.
Former Hunting Beagle

Former Hunting Beagle
Not all former hunting beagles were treated well. Many were underfed, overworked, or kept in poor conditions.
These beagles often arrive with physical scars, chronic anxiety, and deep-rooted fear. They’re overwhelmed by normal life: doors opening, men moving quickly, or being left alone.

Ex-lab beagles often come from sterile, silent environments with little human contact or stimulation. They may have never walked on grass, seen stairs, or lived with a family.
While some adapt quickly, many struggle with noise sensitivity, body handling, and building trust especially with men. The emotional impact of life in a lab setting can show up in subtle but lasting ways.

Beagles who’ve experienced abuse or heavy-handed training often carry deep emotional scars. They may flinch at movement, growl when touched, or shut down completely when unsure.
Even well-meaning previous owners can unintentionally cause harm through outdated training methods. These beagles need safety, patience, and support to rebuild trust.
Beagles Who Have Had Multiple Homes

Beagles Who Have Had Multiple Homes
Beagles who’ve been passed from home to home often struggle with insecurity and emotional instability. Each move chips away at their trust, making it harder for them to settle, bond, or feel safe.
This can show up as clinginess, separation struggles, or unpredictable behaviour. These dogs don’t lack training — they’ve just never had consistency.
Hyper-Attachment in Traumatised Beagles
Why your beagle won’t let you out of sight – and why it’s not about love.
Beagles who’ve experienced trauma — whether from puppy farming, laboratory testing, hunting packs, harsh handling, or simply being passed between too many homes — often form deep, overwhelming attachments to one person in their new environment. Most often, this person is a woman, simply because women are more likely to speak gently, move slowly, and meet emotional needs in a way that feels safer to the beagle.
But this kind of bond can quickly become unhealthy. Your beagle may panic if you move, follow you from room to room, and show signs of distress even if someone else is home. They may bark, whine, or refuse to settle unless they’re with you — and some become protective, growling or snapping at others in the home.
This is known as hyper-attachment. It looks like loyalty or love on the surface — but underneath, it’s anxiety and emotional dependence.
It often leads to separation anxiety, resource guarding, and major issues with rest, sleep, and being left with anyone else.
If your beagle has come from trauma, this isn’t something they’ve chosen. It’s something they’ve learned — that one person = survival.
The good news? It can be eased. With the right structure, emotional safety, and clear, calm boundaries, they can develop healthier bonds and learn to feel safe, even when you're not there.
You don’t have to “detach” from them — but they do need help building confidence outside of you. That’s where we start.
