Chester was an indoor dog and It won't happen with my next. Beagles are stubborn! They don't hear you, they might look at you but they don't care what your saying. They have a mission and they want to complete it. I am sure I am not a good trainer.
On the flip side, they can be so much fun! The sqeek that then becomes a bark! The excitement the first time they hit that rabbit is awesome. To see the excitement of the dog of the dog knowing it's going out is great. To see they are on a rabbit is so much fun. Just seeing a rabbit is exciting. So many times I don't even bring a gun with me. You forget it's cold out, sometimes anyway.
