That makes completely sense. He completely starts the play behavior with me every time I am around. Eventually I have to pick him up and kind of be stern with him and say, "NO!" or just to calm him down. He immediately calms down once you pick him up anytime.

I think it is interesting. When Rosie was 7-8 months old, she was nowhere this insane as Hank is! Haha. I think it has to be the gender difference, but you pointed out that your friend's beagle is a female, so I could be wrong.

Now, Hank is not all Beagle. HE looks like it, but he's not. He definitely has some Boston Terrier in him. I'm positive he is Beagle/BT mix.

it may be hard but i think what yo are doing: saying no, walk away, ignore...etc.. should work.. but it seems he doesn´t even gives a cookie to that...

maybe try the opposite.. reward him when he´s NOT doing that, so he knows being nice would give him a treat, so he´ll have somehting to look forward instead of just playing rough on you and expect you to leave or "ground" him but no good out of it for him in that...

I have another friend with a beagle also 8months that say she´ll chew everything and even more while she´s watching and saying no to her... seems beagles are full of energy (and i don´t say it in a bad way) just that maybe their hound instinct calls for you being ahead of them
