We live in a throw away society.
Most people do not pick out a dog to
fit their current life style.
That does not mean the match will not work. Having a breed with a high working drive is not the best suited for apartment living.
They are happier when doing a job and have excess energy to burn off.
From reading your posts you are allowing your beagle to burn off this excess energy
through out the day.
It is more that the dog is suffering from a behavior problem. (dogs are social pack animals and some adjust much better than others when left alone).
Going to a vet which you have done determins whether or not your dog could be suffering from a medical condition that is causing a behavior problem. If your dog is healthy, than I would seek a good trainer to evaluate the dog in it's living conditions to start you out on good program.
If medication is found warrented and perscribed by a Vet that you trust,
you still need the help of
a good behavior trainer.
A program such as kayward used,
by the Univ. of Penn. Vet medicine, which not only includes medication, but training and behavior modication program with it.
Only a vet should perscribe medication if deemed warranted after a dog has been evaluted.
There are many trainers out their,
finding a good Program/trainer might mean
being able for you and your dog to live happy together.
IF you decide to re-home this dog
with-out help it will suffer the same problems unless you can find a place where the dog has constant companionship where it will not get itself into trouble.
