I have a 9ish/wk old Dachshund and I had/have the same problem. I found this video on clicker training How to train your dog to be left alone- clicker training - YouTube and so far it seems to be helping. We are still working on it daily, but at the moment leaving the room doesn't cause...

I think the idea is that if they are over excited greeting them only encourages them to continue to behave in a way that is out of control. Ignoring them encourages them to relax, and only paying them attention once they do encourages them to greet you calmly. I know that when I act excited...

I just got my puppy two weeks ago and I've been struggling to teach her to settle down when she is alone. I found this video yesterday, and i've been working with her on it and so far she seems to be getting less nervous when I leave the room. Can't hurt to try: Crate Training: Crate Training-...

I can imagine! I was reading some previous posts where you were talking about the way in which deaf dogs bark. My biggest issue is that I live in an apartment building. Of all the things I thought might be issues I hadn't even thought of barking as possibly being a problem... and was I ever...

So far consistency seems to be working. We cover the crate with a blanket, she gets a stuffed kong whenever she goes in the crate, all barking is ignored, we put a radio on static for her during the day/a fan at night, at high energy/high anxiety times she wears her anxiety wrap(thundershirt), a...

Dogs will feed off of your excited energy, so be calm when leaving or arriving home. If they have learned to be excited when you arrive, changing this behaviour will take some time. Continue to wait for them to calm down before paying any attention to them, over time they should learn that being...

Welcome!~ South Africa is a beautiful place, I spent a year and a half living in Cape Town a couple years ago as my better half is from there. I would go back in an instant. Would love to see pictures of the dogs. :D

It's good to hear I'm not the only ones with this problem. It's hard dealing with while it's happening because at the time all I want is for her to be quiet, but the best way to teach her to be quiet in the long run is to do nothing when she barks. As I've discovered dog training can be really...

So we've been dutifully trying to ignore her everything time she bites, sometimes it seems to get her attention, other times she either tears at our pant legs, or gets distracted and goes onto something else. In addition, I'm not sure what has changed in the last 24 hrs but she has gone from...

That is so sad, I'm sorry! However, if it comes down to it you should get a second (and third) opinion from different vets and or from trainers.

Frustrated. So we've been dutifully trying to ignore her everything time she bites, sometimes it seems to get her attention, other times she either tears at our pant legs, or gets distracted and goes onto something else. In addition, I'm not sure what has changed in the last 24 hrs but she has...

Good Citizen Dog Test At the moment, Zephyr would fail with flying colours (ha), but I am looking to educate her enough as to be able to do this. In my opinion I think all dog owners should be working towards making their dogs both dog and people friendly. I am interested in possibly having her...

Socialization It's great that your new puppy has dog friends to play with, and from what i've read it's normal for them to fight while the puppy is in the process of learning his manners. When a puppy is young they bite a lot, it is through playing with other dogs that they learn that biting...

Hi, this is my first time posting, and I just wanted to introduce everyone to my new puppy. She is a 9 week old black & brindle miniature dachshund, I've had her for almost a week and she is such a joy to have around. She's doing great with house training and socialization, but she's having a...
