Nope..if you took better care of your beagles than yourself you would have a electic collar on every one for that rare case they jump a deer. We dont hunt without collars for all dogs, that way we dont lose any and there not runnin wild through the woods. People say its not the dogs fault its the owners...dern right it is do your part to keep keep your dogs corraled as best as you can. Otherwise as I stated before there no better than yotes...
