For those of you like the first Dachshund, it’s okay to use beer cans if you don’t have soda cans.

How to train your Dachshund
Dachshunds have a reputation for being stubborn, but as these wiener dog videos and articles attest, Doxies can be trained as well as any German Shepherd.
The Doxie News has gathered proof that Dachshunds are up for agility, earth dog, truffle hunting and all the usual dog tricks. While it’s true that some wiener dogs are smarter than others, all it takes is a bit of patience and you and your dog could be on the Dachshund News, showing off your moves.
Here’s some inspiration for both you and your Dachshund to get (or stay) in shape this weekend. If these two don’t make you want to set up a dog agility course

Apparently no dog trainer has yet been able to answer this question:
Dear Old Trainer: I have a 3-year-old dachshund (Charlie), whom I love dearly. He was my best friend and went everywhere with me until my husband brought home a German shepherd (Duke), whom I also love dearly. After Duke came, Charlie seemed a little jealous and became very distant. I tried to pick him up, and he snapped at me.
I told him “No!” in a firm tone and took him outside. Ever since then he growls at me, and no dog treat can change his mind. Charley is not that way with Duke or my husband. He likes Duke and follows him around the yard. I have tried everything, but nothing works. Please help me, I need advice!

The Old Trainer has promised to try and get answers for next week.

Cesar Millan takes Couscous the Dachshund and his owner to Central Park and gives them a talking to. The Dog Whisperer suggests signing the bullied wiener dog up for agility to give him a purpose in life. As for the cat, she should get to go outside for walks so she’ll feel like part of the family.
Good luck with that, everyone.

Six months into dog ownership, Harriet had ruined a couch, a chair, a throw rug and my marriage with her poop-eat-it-and-vomit-it-back-up routine. The house smelled of poop and my husband refused to let her out of the kennel if it was just the two of them at home. Harriet bit him again and Dave insisted that she be sent to a shelter. “Will you do that if we have a child who has problems?” I shouted. “Will you just send them away?” Wisely, Dave didn’t respond, but that night we slept in separate beds.
And there was no happy ending.

So much for the myth that it’s only female dogs’ urine that is a problem:
“Bud is a dachshund-Yorkie mix,” Ms. Kocher said. “We call him a dorkie.”
It is Bud that has taken up the steady task of murdering the boxwoods. Ms. Kocher planted a few of the evergreen shrubs last year, with the notion that their foliage would brighten the yard in winter.
Yet, under a steady stream of Bud’s attention (to use a polite term), the leaves have browned and wilted.
“They’re doing what dogs like to do,” Ms. Kocher said. “You can’t get angry with them. You just have to kind of work around them.”
The nitrogen in dog urine would seem to be a helpful fertilizer. In fact, the concentration of ammonium is often toxic to plants. “If you get one of these trees that every dog has to pee on, they can actually burn the bark,” said Nina Bassuk, program leader of the Urban Horticulture Institute at Cornell University.
