You've seen em before, just the shock collars. They have new technology out now where they are not just a zapper. More of a vibration for training. Not a source of pain for dicipline if used properly. It really makes a world of difference with the dogs. I have the 1800 model for 2 dogs and long range. If you just have one dog you can get by a lot cheaper especially if you can get by with 400 yards instead of 1800.
If you use them as the company suggests with very thorough training they are a reinforcement for the dog to learn, instead of a punishment for them doing bad. This way you have a dog that understands more what you want and is eager to please. Instead of not understanding why you are yelling at it. It takes a lot of interaction for short durations. The training is broken down into fun time just 15 minute or less intervals. If they start showing any signs of discontent you focus more on play then training. The cd will show you the signs the dog displays to cue you. My dogs were both adults and were a snap to get in line. Both are rambunctios high energy dogs that love to please, as most dogs do. They went from doing nothing I said to doing everything. It did not break their spirit. I have never had their tail go between their legs. Just an overall good program that allows you to train them to behave. Mine are for hunting, but are spoiled house dogs at times too. So just members of the family that behave well and get to interact a lot more with the family since they do.

Since it is a beagle and their instinct is to chase there may be a cheaper method. The rabbit hunters here use this so their dogs won't chase deer. http://www.huntsmart.com/hunt/Item_Nite-Lite-Dog-Training-Breaking-Scent_BRAK.html
The scent pad at the bottom is attached to your dog's collar. The pad is doused with deer break. The dog will hate the smell of deer and not chase them. The guys here keep it on them a month then they are cured from then on from chasing deer. But still chase rabbits. May not break the barking at them but she may quit running them.
Blessings
