Dog harnesses????

I have a 6 year old dachshund and she is terrified of thunder storms. When thunder sounds, she runs for someones lap, under a bed, or just runs around the house trying to find a "safe place". She also cries. I try my best to help her by petting her and comforting her when she [...]

My 16lb Dachshund/Chihuahua mix needs a job. He’s to little to herd cattle, not tall or fast enough to do agility (safely anyways , but he loves to work real hard.

Please read the whole thing before you comment. Thanks. We got him from the pound about two weeks ago or so, and we are guessing he is around 6 or 7 years old. He is an unaltered male long haired mini dachshund. He has issues of course, but those we can work through. BUT he [...]
