Let's look at some of the things you will need for guiding your dog:

A shipping crate of a size to fit your dog when he/she is an adult. It must be large enough for the dog to stand up well and turn around (for reasons that will turn out to be apparent later on).

To choose an appropriate Potty area for your puppy is significant.

You must select an appropriate Potty Sign.

Your miniature dachshund desired cookies. I find small pieces of hot dog (the sausage) work great and your dog will enjoy them!.

A cleaner which is non ammonia based for any accident spots. If you can find one that is made specially for pets, they are the best. You should be able to get one known as "No Go". You can get this from pet stores or catalogs.

Keep a chart to know daily needs of your dachshund puppies.

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

The type of crate and its importance which you will need is stated below :-

It would be great to purchase a crate made of moulded fiberglass. As your dog sees the crate he realizes that the crate is a room of his very own when you are not accompanying him or not giving your complete attention.

The most significant point you should keep in mind is to buy a standard sized dogs crate in order that your dog can move freely in it. If you have young puppies then its helpful to make use of a crate divider because it adds versatility to your pet home and saves your money by permitting you to set the dog crate living size as your pup grows.

One of the most vital point is keeping a chart to know the every day schedule of your dog. You should note down his playtime, his timing of potty, wake up time etc. in order that you dont face any trouble. All such timings can be recognized to you after observing his daily activities for at least a week.

It is important to carry your dog every time at the same place for potty whichever you have determined if the crate door is opened. Take a preferred snack of his with you, it could even be the hot dog.

Stay with your dog and have him on a lead if possible. You absolutely must not play with him. Your dog should learn from the beginning that this is not playtime or walk time, it is "potty time."

Once your dachsunds start relieving, select a word for potty. Acquaint him with that word so that whenever you utter that word, he must go out instantly. Whenever you think that the puppy is learning it, express the word pleasantly and praise him for the successful completion of the task.

Admire your dog when he potties on the designated spot. After potty take him inside and offer favorite snack to him. It is essential to take him outside right after food or playtime. You must repeat this sequence till evening.

I personally don't give food and water after 10:00 p.m. to my dachshund This seems to help the puppy stay clean all through the night. At bedtime, shift the crate to your bedside. Confirm that your dog is in a draft-free area and has plenty of warm bedding.

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