Day In The Life Of My Mini Dachshund! 

If I was locked in a cage the whole night I'd be well behaved too

My boyfriend hates when I let ours sleep in the bed because her puppy dreams wake him up and when she stretch at night her nails scratch him, because she has to be touching someone at all times, I never minded it though I love when she sleeps next to me

Crate with black cover and kind of sealed all around 😮

Completamente de acuerdo. Inaudito que lo tenga en una jaula.

Veo que lo tiene muy bien entrenado, pero el,perro no es libre, recibe órdenes permanentes, cómo puede ser feliz?

​@@arupsanYes agree like putting Frankie in jail. And how is it with oxygen. Looks pretty locked up. Why

​@Michael Jordan No clue. My wife got the black and cream before we met, it was at a puppy mill though in Tennessee. The blonde one we got in Wisconsin but the breeder relocated to Chicago, not sure if she is still breeding.

Do they bark a lot?

@@lasi1645 Depends. They act like little guard dogs so they'll bark if someone walks by the house but we just tell them to stop barking and they listen. They'll bark too if playing rough with each other but again, we just tell them to stop barking. They're never aggressive though with strangers, etc. Dachshunds are super intelligent and loyal, they're pretty easy to train if you put the time in when they're pups. They're honestly an amazing breed of dog, they have huge personalities, act like big dogs in that they want to explore and swim, etc. Just a total joy to be around. You really gotta take them hiking to see their true nature. I take mine hiking, off leash, everyday for like 90 minutes, it's awesome. I have some videos on my channel if you're interested in seeing what they're like when they're allowed to embrace their instincts.

Obviously a horrible thing to put a dog with 3 inch legs through, no matter what weird stuff you project on them.

​@@Rich_P_Anya is that directed at me? I have no idea what you're talking about. Dachshunds are hound dogs, they love being outside in the woods, it's what they're bred for.

fr !!! I’m getting one soon so I need tips

I'd kill the bastards.. Pups do not get treated like that

I agree

I think it's a bit cruel. Keeping him in a sealed cage overnight? My dachshund had dog beds in each room and she still slept in the bed at times.

Cruel, scary for him and dangerous. What if there's danger or fumes and he needs to move, get out of that area. Horrible.

NONE of you have ever had a dog, have you? I’ve had three Dachshunds in my lifetime and several other breeds and they have all loved their crates. You are all judgey with a bit of ignorance in there. Dogs love dens. It’s very safe for them and they feel secure inside.

Horrible humans

I’m stealing that name for my new guy I get in September

probably training, you can tell them to be quiet or stop barking

My dachshund almost never barked

I had two and mine barked at noises and people. It was hard to take them anywhere. They were the best though, loved them tremendously. Lived to almost 17 years. Never were completely housebroken though no matter how hard I tried to train them.

With age they will bark. My male is vocal. My female listens to No barking. Hard to tell which is better behaved.

My princess Leia barks a bit during the day, but during the night she never barks. Noises she hears and people going by our street make her bark 😊 I don't mind at all... she is kind of warning us of something. She is a cutie, but I didn't train her and she doesn't sleep in a crate. She sleeps where she wants to. Only not in my bed during the night. Hubby loves her but doesn't like pets in bed. I had a kitten and it was the same; she only slept in my sons' bed 🤭

Yer bc their dumb like a cavalier , only owned for their cuteness

ok i cannot BELIEVE how much our frankies look alike!!!

They are den animals - it makes them feel safe, which allows them to be calm and relaxed.

They are helpful if you don’t want them to be chewing on things when you are doing tasks which require your full attention. In 5 seconds they could destroy something while you look away. But this is only in the beginning when they are a puppy and you are training them

They're just fine secured in a crate. Mine has no reason to wander the house at night. He can go 10-12 hours, if needed, without having to go outside for a bathroom break.

Short haired dachshunds don’t require daily brushing. A couple of times a week works. Long haired dachshunds should be brushed daily and should probably be bathed more often.

i agree, too much time in the cage. smh

Me too. Cage should always be left open.

Some dogs feel secure in their cage

I thought exactly the same our dachs is in his bench with the door open. A closed cage is absolutely horrible.

​@@balancedeerlennon Hardly, that sounds like an excuse to lock them up. We never locked any dog of ours in a cage ever. And if they only feel secure in a locked cage you have created a very scared little dog and have to work in that, not locking the cage.

If your home ever catches fire, all You have to do is grab that crate and your pet is safe and you know just where it is

Dogs are den animals and they feel safe in their crates. They only have to go during the nights while they are still puppies and they make it known if they have to go. Plus, responsible owners know to be on the lookout during the puppy phase. They will learn to hold it longer and longer as their bladders grow bigger. Animals will not go in their crates unless the crates are too big. They need to be just big enough to turn around in and lie down comfortably. Sleep time is not for just walking around.

Don’t compare dogs with children. They are completely different

Dogs bark.. That's what they do.. Get a mute Russian kid if that's what you want

lol yes

Dachshunds generally like crates from what I've seen/ in my experience. Mine got excited the first time she saw hers, I've never once had to put her in or make her go inside. She does it on her own, curls up and it's big snoozing for her. She basically trained herself.

@@Foxhead2012Oh, she saw it as a burrow! I don’t use crates, but I’ve noticed our dachshunds love to burrow under the blankets. One wanted to guard but not leave the blankets so we had barking blankets.

Over the summer yes!

This is just untrue I’m sorry. It’s not torturing for every dog. A crate trained dog learns that the crate is a safe place for them. My dog has anxiety and runs into his crate when he gets overwhelmed to calm himself down.

@@sarah-ki1hd That's totally different. Your dog chooses to enter the crate, the door stays *open* , you don't shut him in for 8+ hours, he comes out when composed.

Its probably monthly heartworm preventative medication.

Do what’s best for your dog, but don’t tell others what to do with theirs. So if that’s how she puts him to sleep at night than that’s just fine.

@@EilandMeisje85 no it is not

Boy your stupid 😂 “pooooor thing locked in a black out cage” it’s a crate bro. SOMETHING ALMOST EVERY DOG OWNER uses to travel and keep there dogs safe at night from themselves or other pet in the house hold. Crate is blacked out so she can sleep peacefully at night. Tbh you sound like you are neglecting yours. Long haired Dachshunds have different hair lengths. There not all the same. So the dogs hair might naturally be that length. But I bet you didn’t know that did you? Fix yourself before you speak on others.
