She's abit young for real training -- I would just take her out and let her have fun in the field. You can certainly try dragging a road kill rabbit. Also drag a hot dog and then leave a treat at the end of the trail. Are there any beagle clubs near you? They might let you join, help train and possibly have a starting pen. Bassets naturally run slower than the fast beagles, and it is very hard to teach speed. The dog will run at it's pace.
