Every beagle they have owned has been VERY aggressive. When I was a kid, one of their beagles attacked my best friend and bit him in the chest. Over 20 years later their current beagle is just as bad. It is also dog aggressive. In fact it hates my dog so much it TRACKS him when it takes the owner for a walk. I have witnessed the beagle getting Logan's scent and it literally BAYS and takes off tracking his scent. Its insane. If it ever has sight of him is drags the small woman (usually her) along lunging and baying aggressively. She can barely hold it back in its harness and thinks its funny. *sigh* A tired dog is a good dog, a trained dog is a better dog.

When Sam was a little girl, she begged me for a Beagle, but given what the EP’s needed and got, which was at least 2 hours of free running a day to satisfy their built up energy, I knew I hadn’t got the extra couple of hours on top of what they needed to keep a Beagle happy and well adjusted. It’s a shame you have such bad tempered toads where you are Tresa, I haven’t come across a bad one yet. Do you know the owners? Are they dog smart, and know what the dogs need from them

It was not effective because its so inconsistent and it only traumatizes the dog. They get walked by the dog every day, its madness watching them try to avoid people and dogs. I'm sure the poor beagle is confused and bored out of his mind. I have seen bored beagles before but theirs are always super aggressive. And I have never seen a hound track (esp another dog) out of aggression. I thought they track in prey drive? But I guess if a police dog can track/search in an aggressive drive, so can they. A tired dog is a good dog, a trained dog is a better dog.

My neighbor growing up always had a sweet beagle (and still has one today) but OMFG those dogs were fat. His current one is supposed to be the "smaller" version and quite literally weighs 60lbs...her legs barely touch the ground over her stomach....I could see how one could track with aggression though...they'll track through everything...even this one who can't really walk because she has to stretch to reach the ground will still try to trail the footsteps of whomever walks through the yard...it's kind of sad actually.... https://www.etsy.com/shop/Blitzava

I've only seen a couple of pet Beagles through the years, and they were softer than all of the pack dogs I was around as a child. The pet Beagles I did know were joyous, non-aggressive, happy campers (though I did know one that would alert bark at anything). I often thought about getting one myself. Sadie

Waaaaay down the list on trainable dogs as are most hounds. They put their nose on the ground and the world around them disappears. They would run under a moving train if they saw a rabbit go there. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

Every morning at the crack of dawn I'd take my dog for a walk, and we'd have to sneak past the beagles house. Somehow though, it didn't matter how quiet we were, it would always hear us. I could hear it 'aOOOOOOOOOOO, aOOOOOOO-ing' for a good 20 minutes. Then, I'd have to walk back past it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNKfucd0HYo ^^ These aren't beagles, but it's well worth watching Jackie121

Because they're dumber than a box of rocks when it comes to training anything that *I* find fun and enjoyable. It'd take so much work to teach them to obey and pay attention to me that it's just not worth it.
