I have a beagle. She is smart and already knows a number of commands. Shes lucky in that she has a large wooded area all to her self behind my house. The problem is, the only thing she likes to do is playing fetch with a tennis ball or going for walks.
What are some fun activities for beagles to bring out their instincts, like hunting, but we do not hunt animals…
Have you ever heard of flyball?
There is a sport similar to it that uses the scent hound senses!
It's called scent hurdles. Which basically entails the same basic concept of flyball (4 hurdles to jump over grab something, run back over the 4 hurdles), except at the end, instead of a box with a ball, there are various dumbbell shaped articles. Only one of the objects has a *scent* on it. The dog has to find the one with the scent and bring it back.
Another thing you could do is hide treats around the house, and have the dog find them.
One more thing to work with her instincts would to be to get her favourite toy, and make her wait while you drag it along the ground in the woods to make somewhat of a scent trial for her to follow, then get her to find it.
^^All things my beag likes to do
Beagles are great and intelligent little dogs and I'm glad that you have trained her 
Considering most people seem to deem them stupid 
play with them with freebies….

They are scent hounds, so let her sniff!! You can play find the treat. Hide some treats in your house or yard and let your dog sniff them out. Also a toy that would be good is a Buster Cube.

Let them loose around your neighbor’s rabbit hutches. LOL
