I got my 8 week old miniature long haired Dachshund a week ago today. He’s just now coming out of his shell and getting used to everything – including my two dogs (Bassadore and Great Pyrenees mix). Although he’s been a little wild the past two days or so, overall things have gone fairly smooth (knocks on wood). I started crate and house training immediately. He’s only had 3 accidents in the house in a week and all my fault. He sleeps through the night other than one wake up in the middle of the night. I’m reading all these horror stories on here and it’s freaking me out a bit despite owning and training dogs my whole life and has me wondering – is this just the calm before the storm? Are others just not training and sticking to a routine as strict as I have been? Would love to hear some experience from people who were strict with training from day one and what your experience was weeks, months, years later. Thanks everyone!
