Barking dog - home value

The barking is the worst while the owner is away during the day at work. So anyway, the dogs are well taken care of and walked 3 or more times a day, but just do that dog thing that apparently is hard to get them to stop doing.

Beagles are hounds and they will bark as Terriers do. Both dog breeds could go shopping all day with it's owner and still bark, regardless of whether the owner is home or not!

Not to quibble, but some terriers bark alot, but beagles were BRED to bark. That's right, they bark as they hunt so will bark for absolutely no reason other then it feels good. Don't buy a beagle unless you want a barker.
