Hello fellow daxie lovers :D I have just joined the forum/site today and Im looking forward to hearing from all. We have 5 daxies and 2 German Shepherds and I would love more Daxies!! They are the most facinating breed ever and I love everything about them and mine have such unique little characters. Please feel free to message me and if anyone has any great tips, hints or info it would be so welcome (especially on toilet training cause mine just do it anywhere lol!!:rolleyes:)
 
lol..I was hoping you were going to give me some tips on toilet training seeing you had 5! My 5 month old seems to be taking an age to get to grips with it. He goes 4-5 days brilliantly and we think we have cracked it, then he seems to have 3-4 days of going anywhere..well mainly in the kitchen not in the lounge anymore!!:(
 
Im new just started today

Hey, Im new to this. I was wondering if someone could help me out with the basic's. I am the owner of a pie bald dachshand. His name is Snoopy and he's a hoot !! Hope to hear from new friends soon. Thanks !!
 
Hi
I try to put training mats near the back doors to encourage Bella to go to the door area if she needs the loo, then i take her straight out into the garden if im there, have you tried training mats/pads they have a scent in them to encourage puppies to go on them instead of anywhere on the floor, it might help x

Yes I have been using training mats he is probably about 75% sucessful with those and these are placed by the back door. I have stopped using his crate at night (where he was mainly dry) and he now sleeps in the kitchen with the old GSD. We don't have any noise in the morning :) and he has used his mats :) but also somewhere else on the wooden floor...normally under the table :mad:
 
sometimes Bella uses the rug next to her bed and the training matKaren :rolleyes:little monkey x
 
she's just turned 10 weeks last saturday Karen and we've had her 2 weeks x
 
Our doxies are 1 year old and usally ask to go outside. Molly sits by the door and barks.. Sam whines lol... But if its raining FORGET IT.... I have to go out with them almost carry them out so I end up getting wet too lol. We always keep the pads in a few key locations so they can use them if they cant wait or they know its raining.

I think the rain is sending Bernie backwards as he hates getting wet :( I would be happy if he was just using the mats 100%. I am used to having big dogs and they have all mastered being dry in the house by 5 months. It is encouraging that Molly sits by the back door and barks. Although Bernies bark is so quiet like a seal with a smokers cough !

Susan 10 weeks :) I wonder if Bella will pick potty training up quicker as we didn't get Bernie until he was 13 wks and he was with his litter mates outside in a kennel ( a very nice heated one I might add) fingers crossed for you x

Thanks....at the moment we are having our few good days and he is using his mats when I am not around. Which is great, although he still has a preference to use them even if the back door is open. I am putting that down to the fact he hates the rain outside..but maybe not :rolleyes: I will give this some thought!
 
Mouse didn't get completely house trained until she was around 9 months old... she got the peeing thing at around 6 mos, but she had no problem doing the pooping thing in the house.... it was crazy, I'd let her in and she'd poop right in front of me.... UGGH and as she's deaf, I couldn't startly her by sound, so one day I was right there and startled her with a tap to her butt, shook my finger at her, gave her the mad face and put her right back outside... she hasn't had an accident since.
