I'd go down the behaviourist route and see if anything can be done to control her behaviour. Beagles are quite sensitive dogs imo and she's been through a lot of changes just lately.

I'm with you Fran. Try a behaviourist first but do it quickly and in the meantime don't let Honey near the baby.It must be heartbreaking to be thinking about giving Honey up but something has to be done.Baby must come first.

Yes you should.

It's simply not worth the risk of injury and possibly lifelong trauma to your child, and if the unthinkable should happen I'm sure matters would be taken out of your hands and the dog would never have the opportunity of rehoming which you could give her at the moment.

Thanks so much for your helpful advice.

Obviously my baby is my main priority especially as she is our 2nd baby, our first baby son died and we can have no more children.

We will try a bit more more training but I think the decision has sadly been made and we will have to rehome honey, it's so hard especially as beagles do have one of the best temperaments with children and are very rarely aggressive but we just can't take the risk unfortunately.

Thank you again for your replies, they have really helped us.

It's precisely because beagles have such good temperaments that I feel there's a chance that a good behaviourist might well be able to sort this. They are bright little dogs and nowhere near as bloody-minded as terriers or as complex as many other breeds.

She's obviously out of sorts about something and I feel rehoming her now will make it harder to sort out.

Fran, this is what I am clinging onto and why I cant bring myself to rehome her.

It's harder for me as she has the attachment problem to me, she follows me around the house everywhere I go. I just need to become the dominant one over her but she is very stubborn and strong willed.
