Get to the library and pick up a dog training book. Ivy seems like she is in charge, and you need to start training from scratch.

Potty train her like you would a new puppy. Just a little while after she eats, take her outside for a walk. Stay out until she does her business - and praise her like crazy when she does. Take her out often, as often as you can, and praise whenever she pees outside. If she even starts "the squat" in the house, clap your hands to interrupt that "thought" and immediately bring her outside, and again, stay outside until she pees, then praise like crazy. Get everyone in the family involved in this. If you have to, keep her on a leash and next to you all the time until she is potty trained.

Make the family realize that everyone needs to be part of Ivy's training. I am sure they seem to "hate" her because she is untrained. Let them realize they can all be part of making her the great little beagle she is meant to be.

Never ever leave food - anything food-related where she can get it. She is a beagle - their worlds are defined by their powerful noses. And they are hounds - all food is good food! (Whether or not it makes them sick doesn't seem to matter.)

Work on all sorts of obedience training with her once the potty training is done. A busy beagle is a happy beagle, and a tired beagle is a good beagle. The more activities you can enjoy with her, the happier you both will be.
