Beagle problems — advice?

So Francis, our nearly 3-year-old beagle, ate 2 gingerbread cookies off the tree this morning (and they weren’t that low, even!). This is just symptomatic of his lack of obedience especially when it comes to food. He recently also has developed anal gland infections (ick!) that have required a few medical bills that we wish we didn’t have to pay and now we’re considering surgery to get them removed — yet another large bill. All that said, I’m looking for dog training advice as we’re at our wit’s end or if any of you know an amazing rural farm where he could happily live with a wonderful family, let me know that too. :)

    The name of Francis’ medical problem is one of the very reasons I am cool with NOT having pets!

    Hope everything gets resolved!–I’m no help.

    Yeah, I know, it sounds pretty bad. It just means he does the butt scoot a lot and probably is in some pain. And so he wears the cone. Poor little thing.
