@@felicitylydiasummerfield5464 did he eventually get crate trained? Mine is the same age

@@felicitylydiasummerfield5464 please update us…Going through the same thing. Did you get through it? I need some hope…..plz…

We picked up our 12-week-old dachshund puppy two days ago. She came from an outstanding kennel, and is well on the way to being toilet AND crate trained. Regarding toilet training: her first accident taught me her signs for needing to go outside. We now take her out every hour or two hours - depending on if she is sleeping - and there have been no further problems. She alway goes outside before eating and after she wakes from her nap, regardless of the last time she went out. It’s easy enough to time her naps if we tire her out sufficiently. She gets taken to the same place to do her business, and is rewarded on the spot with a piece of kibble. My husband has been carrying her outside to the spot because it has been very cold here in Toronto (and she clearly dislikes the cold), but it is warming up, so I have begun taking her to her spot on her lead, lured by her little bag of kibble. So far, so good. Regarding crate training: while she was crate trained by her breeder, she always had the company and security of her siblings in their crate. While we decided to put the crate in our bedroom to keep her near us, it was not enough to prevent her anxiety. That disappeared when we repositioned the crate to be beside our bed. That we are close by offers our puppy enough security that she actually slept through the night last night! Over time, as she gets more comfortable and secure in her new environment, we’ll slowly move the crate back to its preferred spot. My next task is to avoid separation anxiety when she’ll be left alone. I’ll follow the guidelines offered in this video.

You shouldn’t have a dog!

@@bac9346 I dont anymore, I tried to get days to work from home but they wouldn’t let me and I tried hard to do the best for him but in the end I rehomed him with friends one of which works from home, the other is a vet tech and the have another dog. They moved to a house with a few acres, he’s living his best life now. It killed me that I couldn’t work it out but I know he’s far happier now and that’s all that matters. But I do see him every so often so that’s nice.

Is the dog locked in the crate all day as well?

No the only time I put him in the crate in a daytime is when I go to the shops

He's teething right now. Please don't scold him or do anything to hurt him. Try to give him something to chew on
