It might be best to start the way you are now, training one at a time. Yes, the other dog will be jealous, they really don't understand taking turns. But once you feel confident that the dogs have a basic understanding of what you want from them, you might begin to work with both at the same...

I've got two short-haired dachshunds. One sheds a lot, the other, not very much. They will both shed a lot, however, when under stress, like in pain, or when they feel threatened (such as by a loud noise).

Nice stories. I have recently rediscovered the joys of writing with fountain pens. That inspired me to start my own retrospective journal. Paper and ink aren't susceptible to computer viruses or failures. And then I discovered Blogger as a fun way to share my stories. I don't have a...

That's close! Enjoy the forum!

Welcome to the forum! How deep into South Texas are you?

Whatever you do, don't let her behavior cause you to shy away from taking her out on walks. Since you live in an apartment, you may have to get creative in finding ways to give her enough exercise to drain some of that nervous energy.

Sorry, I've got nothing to offer. I just wanted to comment how sad for the dog. That's got to be really hard on you, too.

It is so much more difficult to decide what to do with an ill dachshund. As my wife once said, if it is your child, there is no choice. But with a dog, you do have a choice. We had to make that decision with Henry about four years ago. We put him down. We both still morn his loss and...

Don't mess with this aggression. It could get out hand. PD had become really possessive of my lap, and wouldn't let our new dog, Frank get close to me on the couch. He snapped at Frank once and stupidly stuck my hand between the two. PD drew blood, and I got really aggressive with him...

By "chemicals," do you mean combinations of chemicals developed through research for the prevention of disease? It is good you don't "always believe that using chemicals is the best way to prevent things from happening." Because that suggests that sometimes you do believe chemicals is the...

How is she doing?

Sweet looking dog! Welcome to the forum.

There are standards for human ramps, but for dogs, I think the only requirement is that they can get up and down. With a bit of carpet, and their four wheel drive, the ramp can be steeper than most people could use. I build the ramps around our house using scraps of lumber and carpet...

PD started in the crate, too. About 30 minutes later I was on the floor with my arm in the crate to keep him company. I think that's where I slept for the next couple of hours. We've both slept in the bed ever since. And so has every new dog to our home.

I'm sorry, those look like doxie mug shots to me. :) What was she arrested for? Stealing kibble? Assault of a squirrel? Loitering on the couch? Burrowing without a license? What do you think her sentence will be?

I bet they make good gifts, too. Just pick up, tie a little ribbon around the top, and present to a friend. :confused: Or not.

We've used the kitchen as well. With the "open concept" that is popular now, I can see that gates are not always feasable. Is there a doggy daycare nearby? Or a freind? http://www.pamperedpaws-corinthtx.com/ http://woofcitypetvilla.com/?gclid=COvf69_0pLgCFWdo7AodCTQAbA
