New here from VHR, got a Q for Beagle owners!
I just made an account on here after posting on VHR as well. I am fostering a beagle until August and could use some guidance from experiences beagle owners 
<br><br>About her: <br><br>She's a she 
<br>She's 9 years old, but acts about half that<br>We are her 2nd owner, and she is being returned to her original owner in August<br>They had her since puppy-hood.<br>She has a partially collapsed trachea, so she is walked with a harness<br>Used to an electric fence/shock collar<br>She has a very sensitive stomach and can only eat one certain food<br>She is an Angel when she is indoors (her name is also Angel)<br>As soon as she gets outside and picks up a scent I am invisible. This is my problem. <br><br>I know its the beagle instinct, but she listens so well indoors I dont think it will be entirely too hard to train her to listen outdoors. Like I said she is 9 years old, so for 9 years she has been allowed to pull at the harness and has been allowed to ignore calls due to the electric fence. I aim to end that. We have had her for a little over a week, and from what I can tell, she is a very easy learner. She already knows what rooms and furniture she is/isnt allowed on. She knows basic commands well. She is a total sweetheart. BUT as soon as we are outside she is deaf and in her own world. I've already ordered a shock collar, and its what I plan on using since she has had prior training with one, and from what I can tell, she will respond. My overall goal is to have her respond to my voice and come when she is called, like she does so well indoors. I have a large backyard to practice this in. If you think Im wrong to resort to this, feel free to change my mind, but <span style="font-weight:bold">I dont want this to be a debate</span>. Let me know what you think I should do or how I should do it, ect. Also, am I aloud to post the link to the shcok collar I ordered? If anyone wants to see it PM me. And if you wanna see a pretty pic of Angel lemme know
