I don’t think this is a “trick” or a “tip” because I have seen guys in the hunting beagle world, including my dad, do this for as long as I can remember. But I see people frustrated with dogs that tug hard on a leash and then they go into that reverse sneeze/gag sounding thing and it frustrates folks. I’ve seen people get a harness to stop the collar from being tugged into the throat, and that really allows a hound to pull with all the pressure on the front legs and shoulders. This little leash wrap can stop the tug, most beagles ( 😂 ), because pulling tightens the lead around the torso and they will ease off on the tension and walk a little more like a dog not bred to charge into briars. Oftentimes at field trials they have beagles in the field waiting to compete next and they can hear the pack currently running a rabbit. If you think a dog tugs hard on a leash when it sees a sparrow fly, it is nothing compared to a beagle hearing other beagles chase a rabbit. Beagles “hark in” or pack and they have no idea why at a trial they have to wait their turn when usually they are encouraged to hark in to the pack.
