Welcome and congrats to you and your boyfriend on your new family member!
I agree about the puppy training class. It is such a huge help especially if you don't have training experience. We have tried to train on our own but never had as much success as we did with a basic manners class. They have classes at Petsmart and Petco and often times shelters have really good classes.
If you don't have a local class or if they are too expensive, you can get some really good beagle training books on Amazon.com. I have about 4 books and they are great for info about beags in general, training issues, health management etc.
