When I was a little girl I was riding my bike down the big hill in our neighborhood and this stupid annoying Scottie dog named Pebbles burst in front of me mid hill. I screamed, tried to get out of the way, ran over him with the bike (I will never forget the sight of him belly up under my wheel), then I fell off and cut my face. I still have the scar! So I can totally feel your pain.

As for Cease-

A lot of people in the dog behaviorist community are really critical of Caesar's show because he teaches an older form of "training" that might encourage people who don't know a lot about dogs to unknowingly hurt them physically and emotionally.
This blog discusses both sides of the issue.

As for annoying Beagles- I certainly know about that, I have two! I would never let them outside unleashed because they are bred to be independent hunting dogs that for generations were taught, "If you see something run after it barking" it is pretty hard to undo! I grew up with a Cocker and they are the same way.
