Housebreaking dachshunds is one of the most important training sessions for dachshunds. It is very difficult to train this breed, and they require vigilant care and an effective training program to accomplish this task. One of the important things to note while housebreaking dachshunds is to give rewards and praise each and every time they perform appropriately.

Considerable time, patience, firmness, properly devised training programs, consistent schedule, and persistency are vital for housebreaking dachshunds. Dachshunds respond quickly to positive training methods. The time taken to housebreak a dachshund depends on the nature of the dogs and training methods adopted. Usually, it takes four to six weeks to housebreak a dachshund. House training is generally given to prevent dachshunds from damaging furniture and other household items. Further, it assists your dogs in proper chewing and elimination behavior. It is also beneficial for easy traveling and to build up a healthy relationship between owners and dogs.

Housebreaking dachshunds include crate training, paper method and direct method. As it benefits both dogs and owners, crate training is considered the most successful housebreaking method. It is estimated that crate-trained dachshunds are more secure and have less behavioral problems. Crates are rooms as well as houses for your dachshunds. Certain things are to be considered when adopting crate training. The main thing is that the crate should be attractive and big enough so that your dachshunds can easily turn around and lay down comfortably. Crate-trained dachshunds should also be given ample outdoor exercises.

When using the paper method, select an area on the floor near your dachshund’s crate or sleeping area and place a layer of newspaper. Whenever your dog gets ready to relieve himself, make him stand on the paper immediately. Praise and appreciate him when he is finished. Pups generally have bowel and urination urges shortly after drinking or eating something. Therefore, placing them on paper immediately after eating is advisable, as they become accustomed to associating this with bowel and bladder control.
