The bigger issue with beagles is that they are stubborn and notoriously hard to housebreak.
Tell me about it. I nicknamed my daughter’s “pisser” much to her dismay.
I disagree. If you are the unlucky neighbor of a beagle owner, the howling is the bigger issue. Been through that. You can hear them half a block away when they're in the garage. You can't train it out of them. It's their nature.
