I really hope you have BIG crates as you like to use them :) I know we can teach dogs not to go inside without using a crate. I believe in fence or gates so they cant run around but not a crate. :) I would never leave a dog in a crate for 1/2 hour at a time. Its a really long time...

He hasnt got the message that peeing is for outside. Dont crate your dog, this can lead to problems like this because of the stress it causes to be put in an cage. Take the dog outside and stay there till he does outside, praise and go inside. Go outside as often as every hour. I did with our...

I only use harness. They are very small dogs so I dont want them to have any tension on their necks if they suddently make a jump or anything. Use whatever you feel safe with. If you use a collar make sure its wide enough. Very small or thin collars can harm the dogs neck. Our boys dont...

we are @historienomalf :) my two doxies.

I think this comes from when humans forget what dachshunds are. They are as breed a working dog, a hunting dog. That means that they have quick reflexes. They cant stop and think during a hunt in a rabbithole or in an encounter with a badger. They bite first. When people dont respect smaller...

If its on a vets order to rest I dont see the problem. What I dont like is crate as a way of keeping the dog for long periods of time, on an regular basis. I cant leave my dog in a crate as a way of "controlling" them when Im at work. (so they cant chew on things or go inside). My dog had a...

Snow here too. I want summer and flowes soon. North of sweden will have snow for two weeks still, before it will be more green grass.

Very nice! :) I would have been scared :)

I think you should be very careful when children and dogs play. Even a friendly dog can bite if the child is to hard on it or accidentaly harms the dog. The stubbornness is there to stay. Its been bred that way so they would be god hunters. If they gave up easely they wouldnt make it out of a...

I dont think there is a good use for a crate at all, no other than for traveling. But I get your point. If you have a crate just like a den without shuting any doors its more like a dog bed :)

Thank you. I know its not like this for every dog but for those who live like this its no life! So if we can get one or two to think before they get a dog its going to be a better day for thoes dogs...

Dear dachshund owners. I would like to address this to new dog owners and owners that experience behavioural problems with their dog. I am a member of the Swedish Dachshund Club and sits on the board of my local club . I hereby want to explain and give you arguments against putting your...

Yes puppies are not supposed to be left alone at such a young age. She is in a new place and is getting to know you but is beeing left alone. I would get a dogwatcher to take her when you are at work. Its just a baby. Do not scare her or throw things near her. She is just a baby all puppys...

If you let him poop inside when you are at work I think he doesnt see the point of doing it outside other days? It is important that the dog never gets to do inside so it gets it quick that potty is for outside. If you cant be with him some days, can you get a dog-watcher for the time when you...

Old dogs can do anything an younger dog can do but not always as fast or long. So just let her decide how much she wants to train or walk. An older dog doesnt need as much energy as an younger dog so get a dog food for older dogs, maybe your vet can helt you there? Any dog can be trained. But...

The dog's prayer 1. My life only lasts about 15 years. Separated from you means sorrow for me , think about it when you get me. 2. Give me time to understand what it is you are asking of me. 3. Makes me confident, for you are my whole life. 4. Do not be angry with me for long times...

Happy birthday!
