hello all. this time I am writing y'all with a concern about my baby girl. just now I noticed her having these head tremors that I've never seen before. it wasn't a whole body seizure just like a Parkinson's like tremor, or that's the closest thing I can think to compare it to. I just texted my...

A few question I've thought of are how do I teach her tricks? She doesn't know anything, I've been trying sit and she's just not getting it. Ad far as food she seems to prefer wet over dry. Is that OK? Working at a vet clinic carries lots of perks including cheap dental so so that' parts not a...

well I've had some requests for more pics of the wiener baby so what could I do but oblige?? hehe so...here are a bunch of random pics of my dog <3 playing in her yard Christmas Eve with her pretty Christmas bow ^_^ her first groom <3 (the bow only lasted about 10...

We love her dearly!! I can't wait to share more pics, the majority of people who come across her don't believe she's a dachshund. And those who do don't seem to be big fans of the piebalds. i guess lucky for me dachshund breeders dont care for black and whites or she'd still be in a kennel in...

Hehe she does that several time a day, just runs full throttle around the yard til she's good and tired! It's funny to watch a 2 year old dog discover toys and playing and go through a virtual puppy phase because she's been stuck in a kennel being bred over and over and never allowed to be a dog...

darn, looks like my link didnt work for the video so heres the direct link ^_^ http://static.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid1066.photobucket.com/albums/u407/taralee129/VID_20130107_104823.mp4

hello friends. thought I'd pop by and say hello and share a bit of how we're doing. She's getting much better about her separation anxiety although we've abandoned crating her at night and just let her sleep in the bed at night :) we took her with us to our families big Christmas Eve party and...

Just wanted to share what worked for me was wearing my doxie out good and tired before putting her in the crate and leaving a radio on low next to her kennel at night. Consistency works with these guys so pick a method and stick with it religiously! Good luck!!

Hello fellow wiener lovers!! For those of you who didn't read my intro my husband and I just adopted a 2 year old mini dachshund named Duchess. She is a very sweet little dog but also very shy. She came from a puppy mill type situation where she was crated almost 24/7 and never taught how to...

Thanks so much for all the info!!! I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart, I can't wait to post updates and pick everyone's brains in the coming months as I'm sure Ill have no shortage of questions!!

Just wanted to confirm that I have the right idea...ignore unwanted behavior and lots of positive reinforcement for good behavior? she is very whiney when I leave the room or sit on a different couch etc. Will ignoring this behavior work too?

Thanks everyone so much for the warm welcome!!! Duchess is 2 years old and has just been fixed last Thursday. The advice on potty training is invaluable, I have heard dachshunds can be hard to potty train. So far weve just had the one accident in the house and she never goes in her crate...

the other thing I forgot to mention is we are having trouble getting her to eat her food. We got her iams mini chunks and the Dr at work suggested mixing it with a little canned chicken which worked one time and now she picks the chicken out and leaves the dog food! ???? >_<

Hello! I stumbled across this forum today while searching for some info. My name is Tara and my husband and I adopted a 2 year old dachshund last Thursday. I work as a vet tech at a clinic that also has an adoption center that adopts out dogs and cats. Well we had a client surrender this little...
