Hi. Oh dear, he is pushing his luck is'nt he.
That bruise looks sore! I would firstly get your vet to check him over throughly.
Secondly limit where he goes, dont allow him to lord it on the settee or on the bed. Make him work for any treats or affection. Make him sit and wait or lie down before feeding a treat or wait for dinner. If he comes over and demand affection I would turn your back and only make a fuss of him when you want to not whe he demands.
I would also to have complete control of him put a short leash on him in the house, so if he parks himself on the settee and wont budge and gets nasty, you grab the lead give a loud command "Off" or "Move" and yank him off firmly with the lead. Avoids getting your hands near him, so no chance of biting.
I use a water spray bottle with mine, set to a jet, onto the nose, works everytime.
Can you talk to a decent trainer and take him to obedience classes and make him work his mind and it will improve the bond with you and will listen more.
I have just starting classes with mine, alternating with Caleb and Gwenni each week and it does help.
Caleb at a year old was a complete S*** and was barky and stroppy and I had to take him to training to get on top of the bolshieness
If your dog is about a year old that is a funny time for some boy beagles, they go about like sulky teenagers. Caleb came out of it at about two.
Caleb does'nt like being moved when deeply asleep and has to be asked to moved nicely.
be fair but firm
