Rescue Beagle Goes Into ‘Do Not Disturb' Mode During Mom's Lecture
Parents try to give their kids time to learn new skills and adopt a patient attitude when mistakes are made. However, there comes a point when a conversation needs to take place if the child continues to ignore instructions.
The same rule applies to our fur babies. Junie is a rescue Beagle that was recently saved from Ridglan Farms, a breeding and research facility in Wisconsin. The precious pooch is living in a loving home for the first time in her life and having some challenges when it comes to doing her business.
@tlcwithmsb Beagles are notoriously stubborn. It took my first beagle 9 months to to potty train so I'm in for the long haul but that doesn't mean we don't have chats about it #beagle#dogs#teacher#rescuedog#chat

In the TikTok from @tlcwithmsb, Junie's foster mom held the canine cutie as she prepared to have a heart-to-heart conversation about a delicate issue.
"We've gotta have a talk, okay?" her mom said as Junie looked off to the side. "Listen, when you need to go potty, you gotta go outside. Especially when the door is open and I'm right there."
Junie stared straight ahead and seemed to zone out. The Beagle beauty either opted for selective hearing or just focused on other things, like birds and squirrels. Her mom could tell Junie wasn't listening so she tried again to get her attention.
"Hey, listen to me," the pup's mom said firmly yet with love. "There's no reason for you to be going in circles in the kitchen and pottying right there when the door is open."
Junie Knows How to Use the Door
Some viewers of the video may assume that Junie can't get outside fast enough to relieve herself, but that isn't the case. Apparently, Junie is totally capable of going in and out the door by herself and shows this skill often when she sees a squirrel outside or follows her fur baby sisters. Her mom prompted her to do the same when she needs a bathroom break. Still, Junie seemed to turn a deaf ear to her mom's words.
"I know it's confusing because we spend so much time outside," her mom remarked. "But you don't come inside to go potty. The potty is outside."
Though Junie's eyes still looked a bit glazed over, her mom gave her some words of encouragement to motivate her.
"You've done it before," Junie's mom said. "I believe in you."
The conversation went on a little longer, though Junie still seemed tuned out. Time will tell if the little talk sunk in, but regardless, the Beagle's mom is committed to helping Junie reach her goal.
"Beagles are notoriously stubborn - It took my first beagle 9 months to to potty train so I'm in for the long haul," the caption read, adding, "but that doesn't mean we don't have chats about it."
