Requirements for training your dog:

To keep your dog in a suitable place is essential hence a standard size shipping crate is necessary.

A "Potty area". This should be similar until your puppy is completely trained;.

A "Potty Word or Sign";.

You should get those snacks that your miniature dachshund likes the most.

A non ammonia cleaner essential for any accident areas. If you can find one that is made specifically for pets, they are the best. You must be able to find one which is called "No Go". You can purchase this from pet stores or catalogs.

You must have a proper schedule to be familiar with your dachshund puppies needs .

Time and patience is the essential thing you will need if you got your dachshund rescue from a rescue area besides all the above mentioned features.

Okay, we mentioned earlier the crate (don't you love that word)

If you can get the molded, fiberglass type of crate used when shipping by air that is the most excellent type. This will become your dog's "den" and - believe it or not - he will grow to adore it. Your dog will remain in his crate at all times when you are not giving him your complete attention.

This is really really significant. The crate must not be too big. Your dog should have sufficient room to stand up and turn around. If the crate is overly large, you will defeat the purpose because your dog will relieve himself in one end and lie in the other. For most young puppies, you will require a crate divider. These are very useful because you can purchase a crate which will fit your adult dog and use it while he is still a pup.

One of the most significant point is maintaining a chart to know the daily schedule of your dog. You must note down his playtime, his timing of potty, wake up time etc. so that you dont face any difficulty. All such timings can be known to you after observing his daily activities for at least a week.

Your dog can understand his potty area if you habitually pick your dog up and take him to the same place. Take a favorite snack of his with you, it could even be the hot dog.

It is necessary to stay with your dog when you take your dog outside for potty. From the beginning it is significant to teach your dog his potty time so that he can understand his perfect timing for potty nothing else.

The moment your dachsunds begins to relieve himself,say the word that you have selected for your potty word. It may be "go potty", "hurry", or anything you like. Just choose a word and don't change it! As the puppy is eliminating, repeat your selected word in a lovely and admiring tone of voice..

Its best to admire your dog after he finishes potty and then take him inside and give food and play with him. The most significant thing you should always keep in mind is to take your dog outside after food since dog has the tendency to poop out every 20 minutes after food and then take him back in the crate. This cycle must be continued till evening.

If you want your pup to stay clean throughout the night dont offer food and water to him after 10:00 p.m. Employing the use of a dog crate in your home will provide your dog with a place he can call home hence provide him with a warm bedding. It is also essential for you to move the crate near your bedroom during the night for your dachshund

Your puppy will settle in comfortably if he is near your bed. Usually he desires to go out and micturate instantly after waking up. But dont forget his potty spot and methods you learnt.
