DACHSHUND TRAINING! How To Stop Your Dachshund Puppy Crying All Night!

[@transtibialog9248]

Hardest thing is training the wife to not go running when she crys 😅 I'm naturally worried so I'll try the bedroom. Great video thank you 👌🏾

[@MarkW77]

How did you get on with crate training ? We are on our first night and re watching this video for reaffirmation that we are doing the right thing lol.

[@jedi1015]

First 3 nights I slept downstairs with mine, she was brilliant didn’t even cry or whimper once, now 2 weeks later she’s spot on, only ever cry’s when she needs to toilet etc

[@jwcleaning5677]

Just got a daschund puppy. I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm glad I've found an English channel that is very passionate about what he does. Nice one Will 👍

[@fenrirdachshundshow918]

Welcome!

[@elsh332]

Same. This is our second night of him yapping and crying all night. I'm over it.

[@The360xyz]

Thank you sir, we just picked up our red female. 8 weeks old and trying to nip future newborn training. Good work you do.

[@leedavison8778]

Thank you for sharing Fenrir - I have just purchased a mini- dachshund but have to wait another 4 weeks until he is 8 weeks old. In the meantime with your videos I’m motivated to train him right 😊

[@fenrirdachshundshow918]

That's super exciting! Good luck :)

[@shar1841]

He was screaming his head off 😂so I opens the crate door and he slept on the floor outside the crate I would call that a compromise 😂

[@yvonnemartinez3622]

Wow!! thank you!! I am so glad I came across your channel. I do have a promble. My puppy is 7 months old I got him when you was 4.5 months from a rescue. I'm taking him to a babysitter for an over nighht. I'm nervous that he will cry all night long. He usually crys for 10 mintues with us but I don't know how he will be with them.

[@Hypnausea]

Great advice. Had a doxy for 11 years and was plagued with this problem the entire time! Now that he's gone I miss everything EXCEPT THAT! It was a good learning experience though. Now have a 3 yr old corgi, and yes they are very different, much easier to train and don't have the potty or howling/barking problems at night but I think at least some of the reason is from what I learned NOT to do from failing with the doxy. Would get another doxy in a heartbeat though. They're so loyal and affectionate. Corgis, yeah loyal but definitely not snugglers...

[@fenrirdachshundshow918]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lug.5329]

I just gave up and have the dachshund on the bed. Lol. Now, I wonder if I can sleep without her.

[@zildgin8691]

Thank you for the confidence in this approach. Day 3 new dachshund puppy trying tough love with a little spin. He cries I take him out he goes potty right away. I put him immediately back into his den calmly. If he continues to cry I've found luck by laying down and trying to sleep on the floor where he can see and smell me. This usually gets him to calm down. When the whining stops I return to my bed (fell asleep on the floor myself once whilst waiting for the whining to stop) not sure if it's the best approach what I'm doing it worked splendid night one... Night two he whined significantly more throughout the night but there where some different circumstances as in we layed him down for the night at 830pm rather than 11pm the first night. Plenty of exercise food and water - I fear he may becoming dependent to my wife as I reminded her what our approach and why we are doing it and soon as he heard her voice he went ballistic 🙄

[@betsyk22]

Put the crate on a chair to elevate it to bed level--no need to sleep on the floor

[@Tlhart]

@@betsyk22such a good tip. Thank you!

[@giuliamor1]

I have trained all my puppies with the crate positioned at the side of my bed, similar to your procedure. Thank your for this video!

[@Ys______22s]

Thank you because I really need this because mine is a puppy I got it a few days ago and it keeps on crying

[@fenrirdachshundshow918]

You're so welcome, hope our video has helped!

[@Bittamin]

Been 3 years we need an update

[@jude1515]

Good advice and it works. My puppy is now sleeping quietly thru the night. Thanks.

[@moniquearntz9567]

I'm getting my first Dachshund puppy in three weeks. Me and my partner had two adult dachshunds before, both of them from a shelter. Your advise is great. Thank you!

[@stephenconnolly5904]

I just got one. He's 8 weeks old. Kids have fell in love with him. However I'm worried about barking, I've read they can be bad? But then others I've read have said theirs was fine

[@glucoseexplorer]

I just got my girl last Friday, she's about 10 wks. I sleep on the couch in the living room usually. She has been sleeping with me since night 1, but I practice short stretches building up to longer ones of her in her playpen alone. There is a pee pad and a bed in it usually. I tried the crate but I am honestly telling you, it was insufferable all around. She was miserable, I was miserable, I am sure my apartment neighbors were miserable lol. As we speak, I am awake and she is dozing off in the playpen. Long term, I do want her to sleep with me but I also want her to establish independence. Hopefully my method works out. I only let her out of the pen if she is quiet or obedient. She already knows 'sit', 'stay', 'fetch' and how to go up and down her lil dachshund steps on command. I hope that indicates I am doing something right...

[@seanmurphy4333]

just got mine, Jax. He's the life of the party, and quite the nibbler. But i hear you, mine wont even go into his cage without freaking out. its been rough, i just give him free range of the living room at this point but i'd like to have him i a pen or crate soon

[@glucoseexplorer]

@@seanmurphy4333 so it's been almost 7 months now and my girl still bites sometimes, but redirection works the best i have found. we taught her "kiss" and she gives us lil kisses when she wants to bite and we just give her other stuff! it is a lot better, no more biting on my hair or ears or face for the most part lmao. she also can sleep in her crate by choice now :)

[@nilgerami9000]

Hi there this has been Great thank you :) this nat sound silly but how do I know if the shining is for attention or to go potty ? I wouldn’t want to ignore puppy and make him hold a wee

[@izume5301]

This was so helpful just got her day before yesterday and she was crying a lot

[@fenrirdachshundshow918]

So great to hear, thanks for watching!

[@CS-td1nn]

My sister got a miniature dachshund who is about a year old now. She got her as a puppy and did everything wrong with the dog. She let her onto the couch every day with a little stair ramp, took the dog out everywhere in a crate (she was never left alone as a puppy, always taken everywhere and anywhere), not crate trained so she barks and scratches at the crate door when she is in one, she struggles to go on walks, she doesn't recognise basic words like sit, away when she is begging for food or even "bed time" which is what we say when it is time for bed. She does know 'walkies' though but struggles once she is out on the lead. I don't know if she is trainable at this point to be honest, we have had the staffie breed in our family and have never had a little breed. Unfortunately I think my sister spent a ludicrous amount on what is essentially a noisy couch potato, she isn't a fan of exercise because my sister just carried her around like one of those handbag dogs and she basically only used puppy mats, never going outside for a poop or a wee. We have managed to get her to go outside and use the garden rather than puppy mats which is better financially and hopefully that means she will not need the puppy mats again. She isn't too familiar with her name either, she has limited recall and we now have the dog at our house through no fault of my sister's due to her housing situation but this dog's behaviour is just really annoying. I understand that she now has seperation anxiety as she whines if you leave the room, if you leave the house just to go grocery shopping, she barks 24/7 and we often come home hearing her barking away which I am sure will annoy the owners. She has always been pacified as it were when she whined, she would whine and whine until they gave in and this is why I really think she is going to be very difficult to train and manage. We had a dog who died last year and he was a staffie. We have gotten used to being pet free and having never had a smaller breed, we don't know if this can be corrected so she can live without whining etc. I think it's too late now because those things were done at a very early age and I don't think even my sister is capable of dealing with what I know is a high maintenance breed because she has mental health issues and is struggling herself so the dog hasn't been exercised which she really needs... not sure what to do at this point

[@haleycomisak6094]

My 2yo mini doxie used to do well in the crate for bedtime but over the last week, she cries for hours and will no longer sleep in her crate.

[@hannah8903]

What do you do about little puppies who need to pee through the night?

[@Andyjenkins183]

Hi, ours was crate trained really well from 8 weeks to 8 months but she came in season and now cries for hours at night in her crate so I have had to sleep with her on the sofa for the last week. Now we are in this bad cycle, do you have any advice? I’m hoping that when she’s out of season she’ll go back to how things were? Thanks 🙏

[@xenomorph6665]

Great vid! I have a question about mine. 6 month old mini dox, that eats goose poop on our daily walks around the neighborhood. We have Canada geese that stay year round and the poop is everywhere. And little Gracie has taken a shine to it. Any information would be helpful.

[@MissKristinaAlice]

Our 3-month old puppy sleeps quite happily in his crate in our bedroom at night. But he will not fall asleep (let's say during the day) anywhere but in my lap. How to teach him its ok to go to sleep on a dog bed by himself?

[@Minella14]

Same problem here

[@cgresh28]

We picked up our first ever puppy yesterday, a Mini Dachshund named Buddy. Last night we had him in our room in his crate with his bed and blanket. He woke up three times whimpering, we left a minute or so, took him out and left him ten minutes to have a wee on the puppy pad. We then put him back in straight after, no play or a great deal of attention and did this each time he woke up. We used a puppy pad as the weather was absolutely awful and with him being only 8 weeks thought this be best. Are we doing the right thing?

[@ryansdrew]

At what age can you realistically expect them to sleep through the night without compromising potty training?

[@jazzychazjourneys]

I just got a puppy Dachshund and he was crying all through out the night but I was tough and didn’t let him sleep with me in my bed because I’m afraid I’ll rollover and hurt him.

[@talulatilly]

How is it going now? Is he still crying through the night?

[@catherinecallear1580]

My puppy is eight week old she settles in her crate no problem but after about 2 hours wakes up and wails like a banshee (I don’t want her to wake all the street )so I go to her take her out to toilet and then she settles again between 2 and 4 hours is this wrong?

[@fenrirdachshundshow918]

It sounds like you're doing the right thing, as she gets older she should be able to go longer

[@preciousinnocence1]

Great advice. Getting my first dachshund in a month. Question though, what about crying for potty? My boy will be 8 weeks. I’m assuming he won’t make it through the night to hold it.

[@johnstark6535]

This is my second day with a dachshund puppy. We only let it out to use the bathroom because it pees every hour or so. We’re trying to not use pads unless it’s in its cage. Do you still let it ride it out even if it may have to go in the middle of the night? Just curious this video was helpful for sure just not quite sure about that scenario thank you.

[@betsyk22]

Better to take it outside instead of the pads. The crate should not be so large that they can pee in it.

[@candicefrazer5656]

Awesome! Thank you for this... you guys are great.

[@fenrirdachshundshow918]

You are so welcome Candice, thanks for watching!

[@jellybeanz36]

I just got a mini dash today hes nearly 9weeks old hes just cryin and shoutin he wont sleep without me so I gave in and let him sleep with me cos my neighbours are gonna hate me if I leave him to cry :( hes also tryin to dig his way out of his crate if I ignore him

[@addimom5242]

Mine sleeps in the bed with me always has we love snuggles

[@rebeccax6818]

Iv just got a dauschund puppy, and we have her in the bedroom in a crate of a night - at the moment she wakes up once through the night and we will get her out take her downstairs outside for a wee we then put her straight back in the crate and if she cries we leave her untill she falls asleep. Should we be doing this? I wasn’t sure if she needed toilet breaks and i don’t want to distress her if she does and we leave her in there but also I don’t want her to think that if she wakes up in the night we come running

[@fenrirdachshundshow918]

It sounds like you're doing a good job!

[@hannahsmith2099]

My puppy is 9 weeks old and he's been with us about 5 days. His crate is in our room and I'm sleeping in way that he can see me throughout the night. He'll cry if we shut the door, tried sleeping with the door ajar with my hand in there and he'll climb out. I'm putting him in there during the day if he's napping on me and keep door open and sometimes close and will open when he's more awake. He's a bit funny with his food in that he'll not eat of mental bowls and prefers eating from the floor so tried putting his food in there but often uninterested. Is there anything I should be doing differently? I'm just so concerned he'll get up in night and I won't wake up. Room is as safe as possible but don't want him being unsupervised

[@neiltatham8298]

Hi, so we made a rod for our own backs…. We’ve now got our 10 month old mini dachshund to go into her crate (in the bedroom) at bed time and go to sleep no problem at all, but… somewhere between 3-5am she wakes up and all hell breaks loose been two weeks now and she basically cries and barks till we have to get up for work - any advice would be greatfully received 🙏🏻

Wanting to try the first approach but im worried with how young the puppy is that she will mess in her crate over night every night.

[@hannahbaker007]

So many questions: we have the runt she’s TINY 2lbs just itty bitty and just now 8weeks, I wanted to crate train gf won’t and let’s her sleep with us (because in time we’re fine with her sleeping with us!) crate training was what I wanted but she’s worried she won’t get sleep she’s gonna howl we’re only on day 4, any way to let her sleep with us but stop howling cuz she’ll wine unless she’s cuddled around my neck

Ima have some dachshunds baby’s the first of the year 2024 I’m in Columbus ga if anyone what’s one of these amazing baby’s

[@becikelly5735]

With both techniques, What I don’t understand is what about when they need the loo though? You can’t just ignore them and let them pee or poo in their crate?

[@annbarnes8402]

I get it but you didn't address the question of night time toilets with a new puppy

How do you put in crate and played then feed for the night as my chihuahua cross dachshund is only 2 months old so i have to feed in the night dont you we have had him 4 weeks and i have to stay up all night so he lays on me is only way he stops crying howling

[@staceyhouseholder5592]

I am having trouble with our female dachshund we have had her since she was 8 weeks old. We have always put her in her own room in her crate she is only in there at night and when we leave the house. She will go to sleep when we pit her in there but she wakes up and cries and barks very loudly around 2am every morning. She has a spot to go to the bathroom while she is in there. What do I do to make this stop she wakes everyone in the house up?

How do you stop biting in a dachshund?

[@robertreeves880]

Many thanks for the Vid, we are going with the first approach she is now 9 weeks old. She is doing amazing by going from 10pm to 3-4am I've been getting up then and taking her for a wee when I've heard her cry out, she does go but then stays awake after this. Happy to do what is needed but my thought process is that as she is small she needs the loo. What we have found is that at about 6:30 when we go down she has had a wee and also pooed which cant be nice for her and my wife is stressing as we only want what is best for her. Any help much appreciated

[@pamelabennett4616]

When you let your puppy cry and use the tough love approach- and they have everything they need before going to bed- do you still have to take them out in the middle of the night like some suggest.? It seems counterproductive to do that

Let it sleep outside

[@ashleymortimer2087]

How do u know if your puppy has to go potty in the middle of the night if she is crying all night and I shouldn’t take her out of the crate? I’m picking up my mini dachshund in 4 weeks! :)

You'll want to get up to let them out at least twice in the night initially, then you can reduce this over time. That's super exciting!

Hi. Great video thank you. We are getting our new mini dachs in a few weeks and are new dog owners. I’ve heard that the tough approach can cause worse separation anxiety. Is this true and would the softer approach cause fewer long term issues?

[@cja398]

My puppy is a lab mix and absolutely hates the crate. I’ve tried all the happy associations stuff but it’s not working. We are a week in and she struggles with going in and cries and screams for a long time. We are one week in and she’s still at it. I can handle it. I bought mouse cancelling headphones. But I feel sorry for her. Outside of the crate she’s a great dog. How long does it usually take?

[@sierraG333]

I wish you could come to my house and deal with my 8 week old dachshund puppy. This "letting them cry it out until they quiet down" thing doesn't work. Whether it's in her playpen, on her bed or the balcony, if I actually left her alone for as long as it takes, I would have the RSPCA called on me, as it would NEVER STOP! She gets worked up to a really loud distressed yelp. I swear the neighbours will think I'm murdering a puppy in my apartment. Am I alone in this? We decided last night to let her sleep in the bed with us. That's the only way she sleeps through the night.

Hello, thanks for the video, some great tips. I’ve been considering getting a puppy for months, I already have 2 adults cats and I’m not sure how they will get along. Do you know what dachshunds are generally like with cats? Can it be a good relationship or is it something to avoid? Also, I currently work from home (like a lot of people these days) and whilst my company are looking at a hybrid model, I may have to go back to working in an office; am I best to get the puppy now, or wait until my work pattern has settled ie do you think the dachshund will be better learning my normal work routine and not my WFH one? I’d appreciate any advice, thanks Lisa

I currently have a LH Red boy who is 3-years old. In 2 months time, I will be picking him up a brother! I am beyond excited but I am also super nervous. My question is, will already having a dachshund result in easier kennel training/potty training, or should I expect the same result of if I didn't have my current boy?

[@fenrirdachshundshow918]

That's so exciting! Having an older dog around often helps with training as they are able to teach and show the pup what to do as well as you. If you plan a training routine before you pick him up this should help with any training you have ahead of you with your new little guy 😊

[@spiritlearningtofly]

When you moved the crate to further position from you, what happened? Did she cry even more? I'm thinking of starting in our bedroom, then slowly moving her to the hallway then downstairs over the space of however much time it seems like it's going well?!

[@keithmuehsam8990]

@@spiritlearningtofly the cries were the same wherever we put the crate. I was surprised this worked in only one night. She now happily sleeps in the bed with us on most nights.

[@keithmuehsam8990]

Probably, but I couldn’t hear her. She must have been unhappy outside, because she doesn’t cry in the crate anymore. They really are intelligent. She knows crying will eventually get her out outside

I get up about 5 in the morning, and my puppy is barking if I go down stairs to one get ready for work and let him out. Will he think he’s got his way though moaning/barking? Thanks ben

Wait why can't the dog stay in your bedroom?

[@enteruserdata4565]

It’ll make them develop separation anxiety and it might make them more stubborn. I believe with a full grown dachshund it’s fine but with a small puppy you want to make sure you get them used to being independent and alone.

I'm a new puppy dachshund owner (picked him up just a few days ago) and when left alone to "cry it out," he has pooped in his crate every.single.time. And I should also mention that he gets it everywhere. Any thoughts?

[@fenrirdachshundshow918]

You'll need to let them out once or twice in the night for at least the first few weeks then you can reduce this over time

Lawks.. its a nightmare isnt it...

[@larryjackson221]

I think letting a child or dog cry it out is cruel and definitely leads to big psychological problems later in life, good way to creat a sociopath in a human, and lots of problems in dogs, so I will take the beside my bed approach that you suggested. I hope no one lets a dog cry it out or a child. It is a quick fix in the short term. but later you pay - its like pay now or pay later. and later you pay much more !

It shows them they can get whatever they want by crying.

Thank you for this helpful video. My new baby dachshund will be here in two weeks. Question: At nighttime when the puppy is in his crate, do I wake him every few hours to take him outside to the bathroom? Or will he hold it until the morning? Do I put a pee pad in the crate?

[@aleishapattinson7368]

when the puppy cries take it toilet then put it back to bed, don't put pee pads in the crate

[@joygarnier4099]

Very sound advice. I had a cocker spaniel pup who had a sock that had the scent of the mother dog on it. It was put in his bed at night and he only cried out for a short time the first night. Found the mispronounced dachshund a bit annoying, it's not docs it's dack

A puppy is a baby animal. How can you be so cold and cruel as to make them sleep on their own? All Dachshunds of any age belong in bed with their human. If you want a dog that sits over in a corner somewhere far from you, why not just get a stuffed animal?

I partly agree and cannot wait for my little guy to be able to sleep in my bed, but he has to develop a trust first. If I fall asleep, he has free reign to chew and destroy anything he wants, pee and poop in my bed or room. You need to establish some basic training, including crate training until you know he can be trusted. Once he can be trusted, he will be in my bed most nights.

[@jadearrowsmith1603]

@@ZrankFappaH It is incredibly difficult. I kind of cheat and wake up an hour or two before I have to and let my baby out to potty then I let him sleep in bed with me because I’m awake. But otherwise, I agree that crate training is absolutely necessary because otherwise he would pee everywhere while I’m sleeping and it would undo a lot of potty training.

[@1suitcasesal]

@@ZrankFappaH May I suggest putting him in a small dog carrier and put it on your bed at night. Make sure he is warm enough. Dachshund get cold easily and like to sleep under the covers. Put something he can snuggle into in the carrier. You have to consider that as a puppy he has been torn away from his canine parent and family and is probably quite miserable and hurting emotionally. He needs to bond with another living thing as soon as possible, and that should be you. Of course we all know that it is our responsibility to provide for our pets physical needs but we really should put equal importance on our pets emotional needs if we want a mentally and emotionally healthy pet.

Day three. So the first night the little girl was great in the crate. I thought we had lucked out. But I think she was constipated and not feeling good so that was probably why she had been so good. Because night two she pooped three times and suddenly perked right up and wanted to play past 10pm. We put her in her crate and it was as if we put her on a bed of hot coals or something. She howled and freaked so bad she had my wife climbing the walls. I had both freaking out. I know you said not to bring them into the bed but that was right where she ended up. Content and fell right asleep. I woke up with the little thing right on me and couldn’t move. So tonight will be night three. I already told the wife she was going to have to get ahold of herself. She decided that the trick is to tire the puppy out. I don’t think she has wrapped her head around the idea that she is just going to have to deal with it for a night or two.

Let him sleep with you

[@kamalarampertaap2338]

My situation is that even when my dog sees me he still barks in his playpen

[@fenrirdachshundshow918]

Hey Kamala, thanks for watching! We have an episode that looks at Dachshund barking that you might find helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqPKlaCLZqeoo68

Don't put up with this bullshit. My dog howled all night every night. Mine did the same thing. I bought an electric trainer. I carefully read the instructions. I put him to bed in his oversized crate, and when he started howling, I hit the tone. He continued to howl. Then I hit him with the shock. He yelped and stopped barking. A few minutes later, he started to howl again. I hit him with the tone, and he never barked at night again. You don't need to struggle with daschund training, it's a safe trainer and works.
