Ok we have a 5 month old beagle and today we just got a 2 month old beagle. The 5 month old beagle keeps barking at the 2 month old beagle every second for the passed 5 hours and it is driving us crazy. The 5 month old just wants to play with the 2 month old but he doesnt want to play I guess. The barking is driving us crazy, and he is still barking as I type this...please I need your help.

Uhmmm.. you could take the 5 mos old dog for a walk and get him some exercise and tire him out. Give the little guy a break.. Get 2 crates, separate them at night, and when you go out.. Make sure that you give them time apart, but also time together to get used to one another.. Correct the older puppy when he barks, don't just let him keep barking and barking... How annoying, and how wrong to let him get away with that..
Maybe the 5 month old needs a little break and some alone time, or some serious attention from his owners...sounds like he is trying to tell u something good luck!
Devote some attention to the 5 month old. Just a pup but he wants to be dominant and wants the 2 month old to know it. He needs your attention to assure him he is the number 1 dog right now.
Try putting them in separate rooms. The five month old probably just wants to play, but it could still hurt the younger one since it's so much bigger. Don't give the five month old extra attention--that just teaches it that barking gets it a positive reward. Don't ignore it either, though. If you pet one, pet the other. Also, fill a squirt bottle with water and squirt the five month old each time it barks. This works better than just yelling at it to stop.
I think that u should give some attention to the 5 mo old because it probably feels like ur giving all the attention to the 2 mo old. The 5 mo old probably also feels forgotten. Just remember to share the love with both dogs. Soon enough the 5 mo old will stop barking and both dogs will be having fun. Good Luck! :)
