my vet told me that now that i have crate trained my pup that he talked to a trainer that trains beagles he said that they are very head strong, this trainer suggested that every time my beagle bite tell her no in a harsh voice then ignore her, if she bite me a second time to say no stick her in the crate and ignore her for 1 min if she is quiet let her out and praise her. then all is forgotten til next time but i don't even let her teeth my hand as that would send missed feelings. also you have to bring them out for plenty of excercise they need to get tired. so i have been doing this and it has worked wonderfully.I also noticed that now i have her on a schedual for eating, outside time and bed time that she is better because most of the biting was around bed time. so as soon as she starts to get biting around time for bed i just put her in her crate she goes right to sleep no biting and no whining. she has turned out to be the most cuddly pup and is eager to please. Hope this helps
