The Dachshund means "badger dog" in German and they come in three different coat varieties (Smooth, Wirehaired or Longhaired) and can be miniature or standard size. They are a lively breed with a friendly personality and keen sense of smell. They are known for their long low hanging mid section. Nicknamed "wiener dog". These lovable creatures can be hunters that excel in both above and below ground work.
The best thing to do is not only keep the lid down but try and get into the habit of keeping the bathroom door closed. I know if you have kids this is not always an easy task.Be sure to always provide fresh water and in a clean bowl. Eventually the dog will realize to look elsewhere for water. Try to leave the dogs dish or water bowl in the same place every time as well.
I didn't realize there could be so many steps on training a dog how to fetch, but there are some good pointers in this video if you are having some difficulty training your dog.
#1)If you want to buy a dog that is not ill tempered than you should try this when it's a puppy. Of course make sure the dog is some what playful but also intelligent. Hold it in your arms, if it starts to squirm or wiggle and try to get away would mean it may be a hyper dog when it grows older. If it cuddles up and seems to be more relaxed it probably will be a lot calmer in it's dog years to come.
#2)Allergic to dog fur? Get a Shitzu. They actually have hair instead of fur.
#3)Chihuahuas are born with a soft spot in their skull. Which is very similar to human children. Human infants also close that gap in their skulls with age.
#4)Simply hold their arms and gently step on your dogs hind paws when they try to jump on you. This will cause them to feel a slight discomfort by making them realize it's also uncomfortable for you as well.
#5)Watch out for leaving antifreeze lying about for vehicles that are not animal safe. Usually Lethal... It fools animals because it smells and it taste good to them.
#6)If in case a dog attacks the first reaction might be to stick your arm out? Which actually could be the correct reaction. The reason it could be correct is because, instead of they're natural instincts, which is to attack your neck, they instead get a hold of your arm. Better to protect your self than to be harmed.
