    Alf got injured and got to stay at the animal clinic!

    No I wasnt hurt. They ran out the door and my bike is close to the wall and they ran to close to it and Alfs leash got stuck. Now we moved the bikes to our neighbours so no more accidents!!! It was so scary. I thought for a moment we would have to put him down...

    Help me understand why I lost my Dachshund.

    Im so sorry for your loss. Dont blame yourself. I know many people that have dachshund jumping of furniture, they are not made out of paper. A healthy dachshund will manage that. Maybe she got a very seroius ruptured disc (or more than one) or maybe she reacted to the medicin. Its impossible to...

    Puppy won't poop outside

    She has been with you for only a few days. She must have some time to adjust. She is taken away from her safty of mother and mates. Give her time. She is most likely stressed. Be patient. Has she had a health check before you bought her?

    How to stop the biting/nipping!

    Her teath can be itching. Always have bones for her to chew on. How do you activate her daily? Mental stimulation is necessary for a doxie to be a calm dog. Get her a task to do, bloodtracking a few times a week and onbediencetraining, agility or tricktraining is perfect ways of giving them...

    My dachshund does not like big dogs

    Try the "tell me" method. The goal is for the dog to tell you when other dogs or people are nearby - by your dog comming to you and wait for a treat instead of barking at the dogs. The method is in four steps: 1= rewarding the dog when he is LOOKING at another dog 2) rewarding when the dog is...

    Peanut problems. :(

    What sort of mental stimulation does she get? An understimulated dog often starts entertaining themselvese. Start bloodtracking or tricktraining. Dachshunds are smart and if they dont have a task to do they may start this behaviour. We have the same problem with our new guy. We have to find...

    Spending to much time with puppy?

    No you cant spend to much time with your puppy. He just separated from his mom and is in an unknowned world with people he doesnt know. The puppy will start taking steps on its own when its ready. A selfconfident dog start exploring the world on its own when its ready. Just give it time :)...

    lump around hip bone?!

    How old is your dog? Our boy Alf got a lump on his back leg. It was histiocytom - small lumps on young dogs (up till 2years) that goes away by it self. It often sits at legs or head.

    HELP new dog owner stress

    Then you shoulnt get a dog. What I mean is that someone should always be with the dog. You cant take back the time you miss when they are puppys. A puppy shouldnt be left alone. If she cant be with the dog all the time, then get someone else in the family to do it. Its a resonsability to get...

    HELP new dog owner stress

    Do you really WANT this dog? If you do, its just hanging in there. Be with the puppy as much as possible, all the time. That makes the puppy feel safe and becoming a calm, confident adult sometime. Its just like having a kid. The more you spend time with your kid the better relation you will...

    what to do

    They need a reason to do things. They just dont do it for "free". What motivates your dog most? We have one dog that only work for food/treats and another that is all for playing. make sure you have the best candy, according to your dog, or the best play or toy. I found that our insecure dog...
