Any dog CAN bite, it depends on the individual dog's temperament and what the person is doing to provoke them...

The only dogs guaranteed not to bite are either dead or stuffed toys. Every dog alive has a "bite threshold," a point at which the dog feels threatened or annoyed enough that they feel nothing but biting will get the "leave me the hell alone" message across. Some individual dogs have such a high bite threshold that they should be eligible for sainthood, but eventually even these dogs will reach a point where they just can't take anymore and will bite because all other options (like walking away, growling, snarling, etc) have failed. Other dogs, especially fearful unsocialized dogs, have a very low bite threshold and will bite for "no apparent reason" (which is actually usually quite obvious to those who have experience working with fearful dogs).

No, there is NO breed that 'never' bites- all dogs can bite. Yes, beagles can bite, just like any other dog. Their temperment, upbringing and personality have far more to do with if they 'might' bite than the breed- generally. Some breeds are more prone to aggression than others www.dogbreedinfo.com

Yes, Beagles bite. No, there are no dogs that do not bite.
To make a dog bite you:
-grab at it suddenly, especially if you don't know the dog
-act unpredictably (plus points for screaming and flailing)
-run away from the dog (again, extra points for doing this as frenetically as possible)
-take away the bone or toy that he has without offering a treat in exchange
-totally disregard any basic facts about dog body language as explained here:

Hope my tongue-in-cheek "guide" helps.

There are a few real keys to dog training, whether you are trying to train your dog to come when called, sit, stop barking or any other behavior. Understanding their importance is critical to achieving rapid results that are long lasting and help develop the bond between you and your dog. Read more here https://bitly.im/f8WkX

The first is simple; you must win your dogs mind. If you don’t achieve this first then you will be struggling the all the way. When I talk about winning your dogs mind what I really mean is that your dog looks to you for all the decisions. Before you do anything else watch one of the amazing video sites that show you the 5 Golden rules to establishing yourself as the pack leader. If you aren’t putting these in place then you are setting yourself up to fail. Just at the crucial point where you really want your dog to listen they will go and do their own thing. For sure your dog may play ball occasionally or even most of the time, you may even have a dog that is obedient 99% of the time, however if you want a dog who always listens to you and does as you ask then you need to win your dogs mind.

The second key to success is to motivate your dog. It is really important that you discover what it is that your dog enjoys both in terms of exercise and play but also in terms of a reward. If you can make the experience enjoyable then you will both achieve more and look forward to training.

Some dogs love to fetch, others love agility, and other dogs simply love obedience training, or swimming out into water and retrieve. At least to start with find out what your dogs love is and help them develop this, what I am saying is work with your dog. The other point to recognize is to make training enjoyable reward your dog.

There are only two kinds of dogs, those that bite, and those that haven't yet.
Any dog can be made to bite.
But no, beagles are not biters.

All dogs can bite. If you are looking for a breed with a good disposition then Labradors,Golden Retrievers, Beagles, Huskies, Pugs, Greyhounds, are good choices.

But with Beagles they are a scent hound which means they follow their nose so when owning one having him on a leash at all times is a must! They will catch a scent and follow it and can easily get away from you.

They have fairly mellow personalities for the most part, so it is unlikely, but EVERY breed of dog bites..

and contrary to another answer.. even dogs with NO teeth bite.. it just doesn't hurt.. (when I was a delivery driver a 15 year old jack russell with 3 legs, blind, partially deaf, and with no teeth did try and bite me.. granted, it didn't hurt, and it stopped as soon as it failed to get a reaction, but.. it did try)

Every dog is armed with a mouth full of "weapons" that they're apt to use. Every dog has the potential to bite.
