Hi my 5 month old male Toby really shows what a well behaved dog he can be whenever he has been to the dog park and socialized with other dogs for a few hours, after this he is calm and moderately obedient. at other times he is a possessed demon running circles around our apartment all puffed up. i know it's because he is in his crate a lot during the day and is just acting out his frustration and needs to play. would another beagle be a good idea? i know beagle's are pack dogs and no doubt would love company. anyone else been through this situation and got another beagle? how did it work out?

For your own sake, and your dog sake, I would say hold off getting another dog until Toby is well obedient trained. at least until his 1st birthday. Dogs can be well behave outside the home just like our children are always so good in other people's house. The circle runs, known as zoomies, you have in the house is likely to be multiplied by 2 with another young dog. Furthermore, # 2 could very well be enven more energetic than Toby...
