I have a little Dachshund puppy, Well about 11months, and his giving us grief with relieving himself inside just about every night. I found this great article that I think will help me. So if you are having trouble with your Dachshund urinating inside, read this. I’m sure it will help you:
Dachshunds are notoriously hard to housebreak. In fact, some have argued they in the top 20 of hard to housebreak dogs. Consistent crate training is mandatory. Sometimes a doggy door is necessary. And some owners never do get their Dachshunds fully housebroken. If you happen to acquire a dog that is not house trained such as a puppy or a adopt an adult dog that for whatever reason, is no longer house trained, you will have to plan on the first 2 – 3 weeks of constant vigilance and taking extra precautions to make the house training successful. House training is getting your dog to relieve himself outside or in a prepared place indoors. There are two commonly methods used to accomplish this goal: Direct Method and the Paper Method. Use the Direct Method to train your dog to relieve himself outdoors which is appropriate for dogs that have fenced yards or if you want to walk him on his leash to go. The Paper Method is used predominately for indoor dogs that don’t have easy access to outdoors. Whichever method you decide upon, you’ll need to watch for obvious signs that signal a dog needs to relieve himself. If your dog suddenly lowers its head and starts sniffing around, you need to act immediately. If you dog is in the room with you and then suddenly leaves the room, they probably are looking for a place to go. Again, you need to act immediately. What you do depends on which training method you’re going to use.
