    Supplements

    I feed a variety of different ingredients each time I make it (which is usually every 5-10 days), and she gets a multivitamin and joint supplement daily, with a fish oil supplement every other day. She also gets daily eggshell for calcium in her food.

    Nola's Heel work

    I've been really buckling down with Nola's heel work, and this is what we have so far. It's not totally where I want it yet (I want her a little closer and her turning needs work, but her focus is stellar), but I'm happy with it. We have a Rally trial in March, but if I can find a trial before...

    Dachshund Coats

    I have one from DoxandDane on Etsy, and I have one from Cozy Hound on the way. I'm also getting her a Ruffwear one in the fall. The best sweater I found was from Walmart for $5. It fits her perfect!

    Dachshund Service Dog

    Nola's full sister (same parents, different litter. She's 2 years older than Nola) is a seizure alert dog. She's incredible. When I first got Nola, I was going through a very difficult and painful time in my life. I had panic attacks everyday, several times a day. Nola would alert me to them...

    Do Not Pet!!!

    Are you working with her to become a service dog? Either way, you could get a vest with patches that say "do not pet" or "in training: ask to pet". That'll help some, but really the only way to stop people from doing it is to tell them. My girl is incredibly well trained, socialized, and...

    Carrier suggestions?

    Hi, all! It's been a while. :D I'm searching for a carrier for Nola to use when I travel. I'm taking her to the north east for 2 weeks next fall, and want a way to carry her in crowded places so she doesn't get stepped on (it's happened before:mad:). I'll also use it when I take her with my to...

    Tropiclean Water Additive/Teeth Cleaning

    As I said in my review, I really like it. There's nothing dangerous about it.;) If you're like me and not comfortable giving your dog bones, it's a great way to help.

    Animal bones = scary!

    So scary! Nola had that happen with a stick once. Which is why I taught a solid drop it and leave it.

    What do you do for dental care?

    What does everyone do for dental care with their Doxies? I've been brushing Nola's teeth since she was 12 weeks old, and they're in stellar shape.:D No tatar, no staining, no inflammation, no redness, no bad breath. She'll be 3 in Oct., but has the teeth of a 1 year old. These were taken...

    Would This Be Safe?

    Hi y'all, haven't been on here in a while! I've missed it here. I have a question for you all. Okay, so I was contacted by the company Ruffwear about doing a review of one of their harnesses (and a leash). I said sure! They're send the WebMaster harness is XXsmall (Ruffwear Web Masterâ„¢ -...
