is it possible for my dog to hate me she seems very moody. not what i'm used to
i have never had a beagle/coondog, always labs. anyways it just seems like my dog hates me.she will ignore me sometimes reluctant to listen to me never when we're out mostly when we're home,absolutely adore's my husband i do all the work with her feed her toilet and she's a good dog for the most part she just seems to get moody and decide to hate me and it'll last for a few days and it's only me. she apparently was being abused by a woman the people i got her frm told me that. she doesn't seem to have a problem with ANYONE else just me i am stern with her i do try to correct her when she starts growling and i try retaining a calmness about me but when correcting her she go's frm growling to shaking like she scared of me.i don't know if i do it right. i'm also cuddly with her and there's alot of times she just fine with me seems like there's no problem and then it's like out of nowhere and we don't have that much of a routines for her to be upset about a broken routine

Your situation sounds complex but not impossible. The best adviced I can give is to recommend that you talk to your vet and see if they have any animal behavorist/trainer contacts they can provide you. A behavorist will be a great asset to you so that you and your dog can enjoy each other's company in a positive manner. Negative reinforcement/punishment will only damage your relationship with this dog. Good Luck!
The fact that you mentioned that she was previously abused by a woman makes complete sense when it comes to the way she is acting around you. She doesn't FULLY trust you yet, and this is why she seems unsure. It isn't that she 'hates' you - dogs do not hate or resent, so don't feel that she doesn't love you. She just doesn't completely trust you, and that is why she is doing what she's doing.
Make everything a positive experience, especially when it comes to things that are usually frightening to her. Positive reinforcement will help her realize 'hey, this woman isn't going to hurt me' because she's still unsure at the moment.
Are you walking her at all? The walk will help you the most, and is what I have found works best with dogs who have had bad experiences such as she has. Those dogs are more reluctant to trust than ones who have had no experience, and the walk will teach her to trust you in places that are unfamiliar. Make sure she walks next to you, and you can even bring treats with you to make that experience more positive for her. Make sure you are walking her as often as you can - daily if possible - so that you can build that trust that you'd like to have with her.
Don't give up - just be patient with her because it may take time. Best of luck with her.
That must b hard ta deal with that problem but mabey try givin her a treat when she around u n let her know that its a good thing 2 b around u, my dog also does that 2 me sometimes n i try 2 do all i can but she jus walks away, sumtimes ignorin them helps lol it sounds kinda wrong but it workd for me sumtimes lol but best of luck 2 u
From what it sounds like it could be you are not in pack order above her and husband. You do all the work and the dog seems to be snuggling up to him and blowing you off.
I would make him do more work with the dog. Not all cuddling and just working the dog on a walk, perhaps washing the dog.
The dog may be viewing you as the one who makes her do things. And views the hubby as the one who spoils her. The dog's view will maybe change some after a few baths and walks by pops. Umm. He should equally be correcting her. See what that sounds like on the dogs end? A beagle and coonhound can be very loving. Coonhounds can be lazy. So I would say if you are allowing him to cuddle on couch and that's when the growling starts then she gets pushed off couch and you stand up.
