[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 658715, member: 4152"] GN....I wish someone freakin told me about the housebreaking "thing," before I got one. I don't know how these little dogs get away with what they get away with. Us dachshund owners seem brain washed or something because we are all so very much in love with our fur babies even though they are a tad eccentric. ALL my other dogs (and I do mean ALL of them!) were so much better behaved, especially in the housebreaking department. She will NOT bark if she has to go outside. WTH?!?!? She will look at the door and expect me to come running. Very recently, now that she is much older, she will whimper a mili second and I come running. That's it. Other dogs I've had will go to the door and bark, scratch, get their leash, etc. She seems to try to be subtle. I'm using treats like crazy now, incorporating positive reinforcement with everything. And yes, you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. Her motto "SHOW ME THE COOK iE and DONT BE STINgEY about it EITHER!" I've reduced her daily food intake slightly to compensate.
