My beagles have always loved to come indoors and I have always enjoyed having them come in, but sometimes after a long days hunt they can get a very strong odor. Every smell they come across while outdoors they have to check it out. Dead fish or smelly old animals, they think it as a great opportunity to roll in the smell of it. It is impossible to keep your eye on them every second so they are bound to find something smelly to roll in before its time to go home. I got in the habit of knowing that when we got home it meant bath time. They love baths as long as you take care not to get water in their eyes and ears. They really enjoy drying with the towel and as soon as they can they love to run from one end of the house to the other, finishing it off by rolling in the carpet. Keeping your dog clean will certainly help to keep peace in the family, its is also a good time to check your dog for thorns and cuts. Run you dogs often and bath them to keep them smelling good.
