My dog knows the basic obedience commands but still runs away. What should I do?

Full Question:
I think I have a "problem" dog. He is a 14 month old purebred beagle that was bred as a hunter. I got him when he was 8 weeks old and for the most part, he has been pretty good. Except, he has a nose that won't quit and that leads to more problems. He wont listen when called, pulls on his leash until he is choking, and will run away if let off his leash. He seems to be very protective also, almost vicious. Any advice? I have taught him basic commands which he follows most of the time.

Get a prong collar and my Basic Dog Obedience training video. You should read what I have to say. This dog has a handler problem. His handler does not understand the basic concepts of obedience training.
