Training

You might find that your Basset Hound pays little attention during training sessions, as they often see it as a waste of time. When they catch a whiff of something interesting, they’ll forget about everything else, including you, which is why leash training is essential. Their ability to come back when called is often inconsistent, regardless of how much effort you put into it. If you can locate classes that focus on scent work, it can help you appreciate the Basset Hound’s natural talents instead of dwelling on their weaknesses. This breed is prone to separation anxiety, so they shouldn’t be left alone for extended periods without another pet around.
Grooming

This floppy-eared pup may not pay much attention to training, but the Basset Hound more than compensates with its minimal grooming requirements. A simple weekly brushing is enough to keep them looking good. It's important to inspect their skin, eyes, and long ears every couple of days. Be sure to clean these areas and dry them well to avoid any infections.
