Omg I am sooo happy I found this video! I just brought home a Dachsund and last night was horrible

Is she a mini dachshund? I'm considering getting a 4 month old little one and wondering if this would be her size.

@@jsmum196 She is a bit bigger than a mini, she's grown to be about 15lbs now after 1 year!

Can you tell me what crate you are using and size? We will be getting a 8-9 week old mini dachshund in July.

That's what I did and trust me you will be so glad you did lol I shudder to think what it would have been like had I not binged these videos as well. Oh this was a year ago. How's it going with the pup?

Hello 👋

Same boat right now

Put their crates in separate rooms.

What the heck is a Double Doodle??

I'm bringing home 2 aussie pups in a few weeks, this has become my favorite channel. Can't wait to get into training.

Hello 👋

Congratulations! Happy Training!

:)

How is your puppy?

Hello 👋

have you tried closing the door slowly? like, one day you move it just a little bit,the other day you move it more, and more, and nore until its finally closed. Or shutting the door when he is doing something? Like eating inside the crate or chewing on a toy. That worked for my pup

Exercising them beforehand always helps whether it's a longer walk or a really good play session that way they're calmer and have had that bit of happy hormones from the exercise. Often if a puppy hasn't had enough of an outlet before having to settle they'll just go berserk and bark up a storm especially a high energy breed like a husky that was bred to run for miles a day.

hows it going

He is doing so much better! Still whines sometimes when I put him in his crate, but he always settles down eventually and is sleeping through the night in his crate.

Or maybe keep going and don’t give up. Keep doing it

Hello 👋

Oh boy thats a very short span in time, normally you would give up summer holiday's for it, like 3 or 4 wks

@@anoukduarte3984 I'm guessing OP lives in America, like me. Even good companies will typically only allow a max of 2 weeks off for vacation per year. Most places, it's only 1 week for vacation and another week for sick leave.

Many years ago, I had adopted a puppy last minute on a weekend. No planning time. I worked in a law office and brought the puppy to work with me first day, full of apologies. Had a conversation with my boss and brainstormed how I might be able to come back and forth during the day to break up crate time at home. To my absolute delight, the boss said, “Carol, why don’t you just bring the pup with you everyday for a few months to work through the puppy training”. What??? I would never have asked! Turned out that the clients LOVED having the dog there and she became quite a little ambassador for the office. She would comfort stressed clients and was even welcomed into the courthouse when I walked over there to do my daily filing. I know this would not work at most jobs, but I certainly never imagined it could work in my situation. Next puppy, hubby and I took turns coming home during the day so the pup had attention twice each workday for a walk and some people time. That pup did really well too. Good luck!

LOL! We were sitting for the. Grand-dogger and dealing with her screaming in the crate (separation anxiety?). I was being sarcastic with hubby and set my tablet down in front of the crate with a KZfaq video going and to my absolute astonishment, the dog laid down and settled. A friend’s rescued dog had destroyed a metal crate and asked for help. We did some crate games and to practice leaving the house, we took doggo for a walk, placed doggo in the crate, turned on an audio book and left. It was MAGIC.

@@carolschedler3832 These are excellent tips! Thanks for sharig!

Hey 👋

Haha wow that’s wild!! Hope it’s going well with your pup!

Hi 👋

Get a crate for their full size and use a divider to make it smaller as they grow into it.

only train after a hard exercise right before a meal, then just use their kibble. Most puppies attack a meal as if they haven't eaten for a week, so they are very motivated for that training kibble.

And now he won’t even go to his open crate to sleep. I’m worried I’m it’s going completely the opposite way.

I'm sure it would! Exercise the dog first and make sure they're tired. It will help for sure!

Hello 👋

@@walterwalter1448 hi

@@shae8343 How are you doing?

Hello 👋

Sorry also if there’s any training tips is it possibly me and my timing of responding or if it’s the treats, thank you! :)

you can use pup regular food like instead of giving free breakfast you use his breakfast as treats for training and whatever is left after training(if anything is left) you give them as big reward for finishing the training. its conditions the dog to get used to work with you

@@-Leerz some dogs are just not food motivated. but if you dont free feed them, they will be

train before a meal and just use his kibble. If puppy is still not motivated, perhaps you are overfeeding? most puppies attack their meals as if they are starving!

I find the blanket covering is good if the crate area is drafty and cold. Otherwise my pup likes to see me or be able to see me re enter the room. Make sure the blanket is not reachable by the dog in the crate, as it is more to chew on and not a toy.

Are you taking him out regularly (like every hour), because at first that's what you have to do. Our puppy was very good outside but still didn't know the difference between inside and outside. I would just keep doing that until he's a bit older (and you may have solved this by now).

Puppies can always benefit from crate training! A play pen I feel like is way more freedom than a kennel and dogs don't need that much freedom when kenneled

Hi, Congratulations on getting your puppy. Did you crate train? How is it going? Thanks

20 dogs can destroy 80 cats

Hey, friend, I'll try to answer you. Listen, as far as I know, you should never give your dog "free food". Instead, they should "earn" the food through a behavior you want. So the treats during training are usually the own dog's regular food, no need to buy new stuff. This means you can get the total amount of food of the day and separate it into portions: some for training sessions and some for regular moments. A training session would be something more complex, like new tricks, crate training, etc. Anything you guys are still working. A "regular moment" can be giving them food after they do the tricks they ALREADY know, such as sit, down, roll over... If your dog hasn't leaned any tricks tho, it can be something as simple as stop jumping/barking to the plate of food in your hand ou sitting as to wait for you to put the plate on the floor. None of us have time for so many training sessions per day, right? 😅 Just remember to keep an eye on the amount of food, avoid giving them more food than they should eat in a single day, ok? Good luck!

@@limanino I appreciate you taking the time to explain all that. First time pup owner so trying to learn as much as possible to give her the best life possible
