   I would put bitter apple on your dogs ears and the next time the beagle   
   takes hold of them he'll get an AWFUL taste and hopefully let him alone.   
   The bitter apple won't hurt either dog it just taste horrid.  I used to use   
   it for Brandy when she would over groom herself and create bald spots and   
   raw skin.  It keeps the dog from licking and chewing on themselves and is a   
   great deterrent.   
      
   As for the boarding I would talk to the kennel and let them know about the   
   situation and insist that they two dogs not be allowed together to play   
   while they are boarded.  If the kennel won't help with this then the only   
   other choice I see is to find another kennel to board your dog at.
