Rather than saying No (which from what I've read is the most overused word in a beagle owners vocabulary) we specifically say - don't bite, don't chew, don't dig. So rather than hearing no all the time there's some variety.
Exercise is huge...our pup does not like to go out when it rains (don't blame him!) and I can see a difference in his personality when we're not able to walk him. We try to play games with his tennis ball and other toys. Another great activity is to put some wet dog food into a kong and freeze it. It's great for teething pups (the cold) and stimulates their mind as they need to figure how to get the food out. Plus the kong bounces all over the place so there's some exercise.
