What I Wish I Knew Before Getting A Puppy 

"Stella is extremely stubborn, extremely tenacious, when she puts her mind to something she does it. Sometimes that makes training really easy coz she's a pleaser and sometimes it makes it really difficult if she doesn't wanna do something" I'm pretty sure that describes me and most women I know! Haha

Omg this is 100000% accurate. 3 weeks into having a mini dachshund and it’s not perfect but wouldn’t change a thing. 💕

This video is actually extremely informative! As a colleague of mine once said, "Having a puppy is like having a baby."

I love the binder idea! You fed into my need and desire to be 100% organized and surprisingly I had never thought of doing this for my puppy. Thank you for sharing this with us, I am getting my puppy in June and this has been invaluable knowledge!

I love that you pointed out that all dogs are different and have different personalities. My mini dachshund Roxy was difficult the first month or so at night like Stella, but my other mini dachshund Moose slept through the entire night in his crate without accidents or whining from the very first night. Dachshunds are just so great! 💕

My family is down for getting a litter in November. They were just born yesterday. I’ve taken SOOOOO many notes from this video and others. As in how to hold the puppy, what treats and food are the best, leashes,collars, etc. We don’t know what color we are gonna get ours in or their coat. We’ve done lost of research and prepared. The woman trains them before giving them and potty trains them. We’re ready for the personality and the obstacles of training. Btw, Stella is a lovely little angel!

Great video! Dachshunds absolutely are the best pet you'll ever have

When my long hair dachshund Zeke was a puppy he drove me to tears! He was so active and so stubborn. He broke out of his crate at 11 weeks old! However, he was a great sleeper. From the first night he slept all the way through. Good luck with Stella! She's a cutie!

Aww! My Luna is a 9 month old ee cream mini doxie. She's just the sweetest, smartest, most loyal little pup. They're fun aren't they? Great idea about the binder!

Love your sweet pup. I like the binder idea also. We have a chocolate and tan longhaired mini dachshund. More videos would be great with her in it.

I have watched this video & your crate training video soooo many times. You're right when you say that they can be stubborn & have their own personalities no matter how prepared you are. Marshall is on his 3 night home. He does not love his crate yet, but no matter how much he cries (or screams) I know it will be worth it. Already nights are getting better. During the day is still a challenge, but I will not give up. Thanks again for all the help. By the way, I love the binder idea!!

I inherited my dachsund Barney from my dad when dad got sick and passed away. He's my baby. Thankfully, he was over a year old when he became my dog so he was already bathroom trained (he uses pads, because it was just easier for my dad, who was elderly). That turned out to be perfect for me because I have to work away from home full-time, so he can go when he needs to and I don't have to rush home if I have to stop to do an errand. Re training, I am not a fan of Cesar Milan's machisimo and rough techniques, and prefer Victoria Stilwell.

Love how real you are with everything!

such an informative video! Stella is an angel as we sleeps on your lap the entire video

You are awesome!! You're an inspiration to anyone (including me, and I've had 2 large dogs in the past!). Your binder and tips are so valuable and will undoubtedly benefit many dogs and owners!!! Thank you for this wise video!!

Getting ready for my little girl this weekend! Thanks for making this playlist, super helpful!

Well done … I’ve watched a million videos and no one did that binder. Such a clever idea thank you!

What a doll! I am #3 in line to purchase an English Creme Doxie. I have owned a Dachshund before however I very much appreciate your video. Great reminders.

So helpful! lol I used to say dashund too! You are not alone!

Very well done video, I know how much work a puppy is and that its important to know what you are getting into before getting one. I have a doxie who is 2 and a half, he’s a cutie and we love him to death but he’s been a handful until recently so patience is a MUST . Ratting and scent detection are great sports for doxies, but because of the stubborn streak its a hit or miss when working with them....thank goodness they are highly food motivated. Keep up the good work.

We love our dachshund sooooo much❤️

This is very helpful! 🧡

Hi holly I’m getting a puppy tomorrow morning I was looking for a good video and I’ve Ben watching your vids And there soooo good thxs so much and yes allllll dogs are different

Yas ima get it and print it out !!!💝💝💝💝 ur dachshund looks just like mine mine is called ginger and she is a smooth coat not long but urs is super gorgeous 💖

Great information... thank you.

Sounds like you are an excellent dog owner

Aw she's so cute.

🐾👩🏻‍💻🌻Love your idea with her puppy file I’m going to do that when mine gets born.. This will be my fourth dachshund and I love them and your puppy is beautiful and I like that your hair is very similar.my puppy was here before so to be like her, I started painting my nails black like she had..she was a black dachshund. And so smart -you just can’t imagine!💝 thanks for the download it is wonderful!😷!

Thanks for the information I have a question tho What are the first days like.

TYSM! I’m getting a puppy in a week and it’s help me a lot thank you so much 😊

I read that I should let my mini dachshund out throughout the night but when I tried to get him up he whined because he didn't want to go out. I have never had to let him out during the night and he quit whining throughout the night after the second day. Maybe I got lucky but he is surprisingly good (and also super clingy so as long as he is at my hip he is content)

Where did you get her binder? I’m looking to get one for my doxies stuff

Ela adora jogar a cabecinha para trás hahaha que linda🥰🥰🥰

to solve that problem get another mini dachshund. me and my wife have 2 mini long hair dapple dachshund and at night we imminently notice no barking, they play together and dont feel stress from lonesomeness. good luck

Ahhhh your such an inspiration!! I love your channel so much 💗💗 new subbie!! I cant wait for what you upload next time

At what age should I start setting my alarms in the middle of the night to pee train my dachshund? I bought wee wee pads cause mine is only 8 weeks old . But I want to potty train vim

Great video

Where did you get your mini dachshund from? I think they are so cute and want to get one.

Omg! We are doing a what we wish we knew for Kona this week! Hah

Where did you get your puppy?

What’s your website?

Were did u get her.

Great Video, Will Definitely Share It to my audience!

I used to want a daschund, I wanted a smooth haired one and they are to find.

Dachshunds are the best

Doesn’t sound like that much complaining just you being brutally honest. For me this just seems like a ton of work.

I just want to disagree with not telling her off when she chewed your microphone. Telling them bad dog and then just ignoring them shows that you are upset with that behaviour. You don’t have to hurt them to show them you are unhappy. Both of my dachshunds I am confident to leave anywhere with anything as I know that they will do there best to not do anything that would displease me.

How much does she sleep per day? My dachshund sleeps sooooo much!

My 4 month old pup has a lot of toys and blankets to chew on, she really likes chewing fabric. She is not distructive, but she plays súper rough, I saw her playing with her brother and it was play fight. And now she wants to play like that with me. She is awesome, but needs excersice. Hopefully she'll calm down.

Hi Holly.... My name is also Holly! What would u say is ur fav dog breed

Dang! Stella’s got her work cut out for her... did y’all see that trick list?😂🤣

OMG My dog is a Dachshund cross kings Charles cavalier and her name is Stella LOL

Also I have 2 kids under the age of 4 and I just got a mini dachshund. My life is chaotic but wouldn't change a thing lol.

😷🐾Sweet potatoes can cause a dog to form crystals in their bladder Which then turn into STONES. So beware of this, it’s so heartbreaking to know that hearing that they have a UTI again-will just break your heart knowing that The food you thought was to be totally healthy making them totally sick. Bless you all and I hope this helps you to keep your puppy safe through your whole life without any illnes. We were advised when she was a puppy by the vet to switch to sweet potatoes instead of wheat because of the gluten-But we never heard anything about it forming Crystals.Some angels pick fur instead of wings. God bless.🐾🌻 check it out, spread the news.💝

I got a dog and I can afford one I've had no problems my dog is just fine

Quick question wut is her size atm :3 My parents are thinking because of the CUTENESS of em :D She is so precious🥺🥺🥺🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️🥺🥺❤️🥺🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️🥺🥺😍🥰

i want one so bad i love animals and these are the cutest ever and Im a cat person

I've had dogs for 16 years and still have no idea how to potty train. Thank you Shiba Inus and Jindos for being born potty trained :)

Dachshunds are very stubborn. It’s the breed

where did you find her breeder?

Americans say “doxan” in Australia the pronunciation is “dashhound” so it’s not wrong at all 😄

Anyone else who has kids just watch this video and feel way more ready for their puppy that's coming home? Ours mini Dachsund Maggie comes home and watching this makes me feel a little better cuz it sounds just like raising my kid lol. Thank you (:

i've always wanted a daschund but i've read that they can be one of the most aggressive breeds :( is this true?

Let's see--Trouble maker, stubborn, expensive. Yep that's a dachshund. We've had four standards (not miniatures) over the past 25 years--I tell people that they should never get a dachshund (unless they grew up with them), but that I wouldn't trade mine for anything. P.s. there's a youtube video that explains why dachshunds don't win dog shows--that is worth watching if you can find it.

Thankfully the breeder I’m getting my dog from has the puppies 90% potty trained by the time you pick yours up!

I’m gonna get a shih tzu puppy and I’m so nervous

The reason why dogs smell literally everything is because they do not look first like humans with their eyes.. It's nose eyes then ears

lmao at the microphone, she wasted no time.

Video starts at 3:30

Everyone who ever considers their first puppy should be required by the breeder or shelter to see this.

just so you know how you said dashund you said it right the first time

if you are not patience pls dont get a puppy

Jesus died for you and he loves you, awesome video hun ❤️

your voice is soo... idk, high pitched n almost squeaky? lmao. it was soo hard to listen to all 11 mins & 23 seconds of this video, but I did it lol.. no "hate" it was just triggering my anxiety. 🤣 but thanks for the tips & beautiful pup!

Stella needs to pull her own weight with insta revenue

where did you find her breeder?
