We adopted a beautiful mini long hair dachshund when he was 6 weeks old. He seems to be crate trained but…sometimes he will not potty outside. I have placed him back in the crate, taken him out again, ...turn around and he poops in the house. He is currently 3 months old and I am just looking for anyone who might have some ideas.

Thanks.

I have a miniature dachshund that is now 11 years old. He is a smart, loyal and loving dog, but I can’t say he was easy to house train. I think it took about 9 months for him to get a hang of it and a full year for all the accidents to end. I did crate-train him, but he also got some mixed messages from my mom who liked to let him out and not keep a close eye on him. I also waited too long to neuter him and had a problem with marking. He picked up basic training commands (sit, stay, heel) much more quickly than the potty training.

In comparison, my cockapoo was fully trained by 6 months. I think the Doxies are just a litte more stubborn in that area.

Hi,


Consistency is key! Be consistent even in which door you use to go outside, and be consistent with feeding schedules, go-potty phrases and places, as well as exercise schedules. Even if your dog just came back inside, if it drinks a lot of water or starts doing something they were not before—take them back out to potty! Sniffing the floor, circling, whining, wandering away, or heading toward the door are often signals that your pup needs to go, which means you need to be quick in taking them outside.
