Hey guys I have a question about my dog who is a 1 year old boy Beagle.
When I take him in the car for a walk, when we get back to the car to go home and I go to lift him into the boot...he bites me. He hasn't hurt me yet but he bites my arm when I grab him to lift him up.
Any ideas how to make him stop doing this? He gets walked daily for about 30 minutes each time, which I think is enough.
Thanks.

Does he only do it before the return journey?
Does he get a good run with a ball/stick or just a walk?
High energy dog?
How is he in the car?

Only before the return journey.
Just a walk, if I let him off the lead he would be gone.
Yes he is a high energy dog.
In the car he is fine, stays in the boot usually but has started to climb over to the back seat. Makes no noise and just glares at me in the rear view mirror usually.

Have you had him since a pup or is he a rescue?
Here is one of my sisters GSD Shadow after eating a teddy.

Sounds like he needs a bloody good run and he's letting you know that he doesn't want to go back home just yet to put it simply
Does he play any games or get much interaction besides the daily walk?
Have you done any work on his recall training and/or do you have any idea why he'd just bolt off?
Has anyone had to deal with a non-understanding (or to be more fair to her, less keen) OH in regards to dogs?
I had a Jack Russell from when I was 10 or so and it was one of the hardest times in my life when she was put down ~3 years ago due to cancer and treatment being ineffective. This was with her at the age of 15, which is good innings but still gutting non the less. Awesome companion and well aware that I can't and won't ever replace her so would be considering a different breed - possibly a Beagle.
The OH though is very against the idea as she's more of a cat person (I'm not and have really bad allergies which rules that out) and the only concession I can get is that when we come to start a family and she's home all the time then she would be willing to consider the idea but not at all otherwise.
Rather gutting given I know how much joy a dog can bring but she's very adamant that working full time and not close to home means you can't own a dog. In a way I kind of see her point, as when I had my JR I was at school (earlier finish) and lived with parents which meant huge back garden and a cat flap which the dog learnt to use which in turn meant that she had access to the garden at all times etc. But at the same time I know there are options you can look into such as dog walkers etc.
Just keen to hear thoughts from others and what others do if in full time work with a dog I guess

It can be a little breed dependent, but I'd say that generally, it's not really fair to leave a dog on his/her jack jones for the majority of the day.
If it's a typically lazy breed or low energy type, then maybe. Perhaps better if there's more than one so at least they're not alone.
Then again, I wouldn't feel right leaving a puppy home alone for hours on end regardless of breed/energy etc.
I'd say to wait until either you or your wife have the time to provide
