My dog Max is very arrogant like most dachshunds so it takes him a while to learn things. I really want to keep him inside. I would like some advice from other dachshund owners who have successfully house trained their dog.

We took in a stray a month ago, and he and my other boy dog have to mark each other’s territory all day-even after coming inside from their walks. We got them both neutered today and I’m hoping this will help. What are some good techniques that work? I’ve met people that have trained their [...]

So everyone who ever said a dog will not pee or poop where it sleeps is wrong – on two accounts. We have a dog who is now a little over 1 year old and she pees and poops in her small crate while we are away, as well as pees and poops in her [...]

I’m mulling over the idea of getting a second dog. I have a dog now, a dachshund. She’ll be almost a year old when I would bring this “maybe” second pup into my life. So, for anyone who has ever brought another dog into a home with an existing dog…what effect did this have on [...]

I just got a Mini Dachshund puppy yesterday he is 6 weeks old. I have a cat I have had since it’s birth that is 5 years old. And every time the puppies (I am puppy-sitting my puppy’s brotheR) are asleep and I am holding her, she will just stare at them. And then I [...]

I’m getting a dachshund (mini) in two weeks I want to start potty training her as soon as possible. My mom owns both of the parents and has never worked with them on potty training. I want to ensure that I never (or at least as caninely possible) have my house become a bathroom. Do [...]

House Training…?

April 17th, 2011

I have a seven year old dachshund that still isn’t house trained. He has been good about it off and on but now he is really bad about it. If he goes potty outside, we praise him and give him a treat, but he still craps in the house at least 5 times a week. [...]

My 11 month old dachshund has been potty-trained for months, but recently he’s been peeing in the bed at night. The one time i caught him, he wasn’t even standing up, like it was in his sleep? Should i take him to the vet or is it an obedience thing?

How do I help my abused dog?

February 8th, 2011

I just adopted a mini dachshund. Named her Angel. She’s about two and a half years old. She was very abused. I’ve had her for the last week. I am having major issues with her. Can anyone help me come up with new ideas? 1) She fear urinates. So far, I ingore her when she [...]

I’m going to be getting a second dog in middle or late summer, and I’m considering a Doberman. I’ve already read up on them quite a bit, and they sound like the kind of dog I’m looking for, but there’s nothing quite like hearing things first-hand from owners of the breed. 1. Do Dobermans tend [...]

I currently have a boxer and a dachshund. Depsite being raised around chickens, they are both aggressive towards them, so they can’t be out at the same time. What is a shorthaired dog breed that if trained properly, will be friendly towards chickens? I had a German sheperd but they require frequent grooming.

Merry Christmas Eve! Also, if your answer to the following question is "go to the vet," then please don’t reply. I’m maintaining communication with my vet, but would appreciate some outside information. Approximately 24 hours ago my 25 lb. Dachshund/Beagle mix, Lilly, ripped up her pet bed in her crate and may have eaten the [...]

My older brother and I bought a "body harness" earlier today, in an attempt to stop our dachshund from pulling so much on walks. I figured that since the harness goes around his shoulders instead of his neck, he’d stop getting choked. But right next to the body harness, a "training harness" was being sold [...]
