Very cute! My wife and I have 2 long-haired mini dachshunds. Such a great breed of dog. The oldest is 10 and you'd never guess. Took him on an 8 mile hike over the weekend and he didn't skip a beat. The other is 2. It's such a joy seeing them as brothers, can't imagine owning a different breed. I highly recommend taking Frankie on a hike if you never have, it's really fun to see dachshunds exploring the outdoors, they absolutely love it!

[@jankmedia1985]

​@Michael Jordan No clue. My wife got the black and cream before we met, it was at a puppy mill though in Tennessee. The blonde one we got in Wisconsin but the breeder relocated to Chicago, not sure if she is still breeding.

[@lasi1645]

Do they bark a lot?

[@jankmedia1985]

@@lasi1645 Depends. They act like little guard dogs so they'll bark if someone walks by the house but we just tell them to stop barking and they listen. They'll bark too if playing rough with each other but again, we just tell them to stop barking. They're never aggressive though with strangers, etc. Dachshunds are super intelligent and loyal, they're pretty easy to train if you put the time in when they're pups. They're honestly an amazing breed of dog, they have huge personalities, act like big dogs in that they want to explore and swim, etc. Just a total joy to be around. You really gotta take them hiking to see their true nature. I take mine hiking, off leash, everyday for like 90 minutes, it's awesome. I have some videos on my channel if you're interested in seeing what they're like when they're allowed to embrace their instincts.

[@Rich_P_Anya]

Obviously a horrible thing to put a dog with 3 inch legs through, no matter what weird stuff you project on them.

[@jankmedia1985]

​@@Rich_P_Anya is that directed at me? I have no idea what you're talking about. Dachshunds are hound dogs, they love being outside in the woods, it's what they're bred for.

[@petramerten9714]

What a well behaved dog. Great work on his training.

[@Ginx-pe4si]

If I was locked in a cage the whole night I'd be well behaved too

[@allthingsdachshund]

How fun! We love our dachshunds, the best little babies! ❤️🐾 It's so fun seeing how similar all these pups are in many ways! Thanks for sharing!

[@pamelanaylor7761]

Frankie seems perfectly happy with his living arrangements. My mini longhair dach/toy poodle cross sleeps anywhere she likes, has access to yard via doggy door. In an apartment this is not possible but Frankie's Mom is doing all the right things for his well being. If he objected to the night crate I am sure he would be barking and crying out for a release. Lots of Love there between them. 🤗

[@batemanwank]

I grew up with long haired mini daschshunds, they really are the best, will always be my preference (and I'm a huge dog lover)

[@june2420111]

They have such expressive eyes. We have a couple of these puppies at home they keep each other company. So hard not to cuddle them all day

[@GaryT1952]

Within 20 seconds I see the problem...Frankie is in a crate. Truth be told, there has never been a better bed partner than a dachshund...you are missing out on one of life's greatest pleasures.

[@HollisterHottie161]

My boyfriend hates when I let ours sleep in the bed because her puppy dreams wake him up and when she stretch at night her nails scratch him, because she has to be touching someone at all times, I never minded it though I love when she sleeps next to me

[@arupsan]

Crate with black cover and kind of sealed all around 😮

[@marialuciacaro]

Completamente de acuerdo. Inaudito que lo tenga en una jaula.

[@marialuciacaro]

Veo que lo tiene muy bien entrenado, pero el,perro no es libre, recibe órdenes permanentes, cómo puede ser feliz?

[@ingridvaneijk2097]

​@@arupsanYes agree like putting Frankie in jail. And how is it with oxygen. Looks pretty locked up. Why

[@TheFallamir]

Amazing training. What a good boy, I love it

[@myrahouse2368]

Awww daft thing when you wiped his paws… so cute.

[@LeaNezz]

ahh im debating getting one thank you for this video!!! so helpful

[@ismaels3659]

Can you make a video of how you trained your puppy? It would be super helpful!!

[@sandyavalos3305]

fr !!! I’m getting one soon so I need tips

[@heckya1friese894]

Supercute doxie sweetheart and smart, what more could you want❤

[@feryennlangbata]

He’s such a good boy!

[@june2420111]

Crate training is important for puppies. In addition to potty training, it prevents them from eating stuff that's bad/toxic for them, chew furniture, walls, carpets, electrical wires, etc. As they get older they dont do this as much, but if you get a puppy rhe crate is vital at the beginning.

[@CarolStJohn-ev9ry]

Oh he's adorable and so well mannered! I'm laughing because my wired-haired Pierre, who I sadly lost to old age recently, was usually a hard-headed bad boy. Gosh I miss him.

[@KateRhee1002]

Aww how adorable 😍

[@jtaylor9562]

Frankie is simply adorable ♥️

[@alisabaxter8430]

Some people are way too sensitive to the fact that some dogs are kept in a crate at night. Personally, our dachshund prefers to sleep in his own bed in his crate, he'd jump off my bed to do so, even if I offer to let him sleep with me. Clearly this puppy gets lots and lots of love, and is extremely healthy. I also bet they both get more restful sleep at night 🤷‍♀️

[@felicesalvant5144]

So cute 😍

[@jrident]

So well-behaved! Frankie! ❤️ 7:19

[@elainegreen2552]

Such a good boy and so very adorable ❤

[@andresaudience8366]

I have a question where did you get the harness and leash from?

[@SteveSwags]

Cute pup! Is he not much of a burrower? Mine has a blanket on a recliner, one on the floor in my office, and one in his crate. He's always buried somewhere under one of them.

[@2013hwcamaro]

Our Doxie is scared of walking on vents too!

[@Daysha227]

Such a good boy! My Gus is 8months old he’s such a handful lol they look so alike tho. Good job mama !

[@Exclusive_Criminal]

I’m stealing that name for my new guy I get in September

[@user-qp5dk3ji2s]

Hi Frankie! I hope you are having a good day! ❤

[@user-ox4lj5yw4z]

I am afraid, he doesn't get enough air in the night in such closed Synthetik Box. 😥

[@beavishawk1]

I'd kill the bastards.. Pups do not get treated like that

[@darlenejoy2400]

I agree

[@AG-rg5mi]

I think it's a bit cruel. Keeping him in a sealed cage overnight? My dachshund had dog beds in each room and she still slept in the bed at times.

[@azby7933]

Cruel, scary for him and dangerous. What if there's danger or fumes and he needs to move, get out of that area. Horrible.

[@soniasteckle5548]

NONE of you have ever had a dog, have you? I’ve had three Dachshunds in my lifetime and several other breeds and they have all loved their crates. You are all judgey with a bit of ignorance in there. Dogs love dens. It’s very safe for them and they feel secure inside.

[@julien2958]

Why did you locked him in a black out cage. How can you lock him???

[@beavishawk1]

Horrible humans

[@FrazzledVirgo]

i want one but live in an apt im worried about training and barking! But yours doesnt bark!!?? how did you do ir!?

[@amelieleah4560]

He doesn't seem to bark at all! I'm looking into getting a long haired mini dachshund, but live in an apartment and am a little worried about the barking. Did you train Frankie to not bark a lot, or is he just always quiet? And are mini dachshunds generally all quiet like Frankie?

[@maliiandthemango]

probably training, you can tell them to be quiet or stop barking

[@jesterb6793]

My dachshund almost never barked

[@kellymcdonell9687]

I had two and mine barked at noises and people. It was hard to take them anywhere. They were the best though, loved them tremendously. Lived to almost 17 years. Never were completely housebroken though no matter how hard I tried to train them.

[@darlenejoy2400]

With age they will bark. My male is vocal. My female listens to No barking. Hard to tell which is better behaved.

[@AnaPaula-61]

My princess Leia barks a bit during the day, but during the night she never barks. Noises she hears and people going by our street make her bark 😊 I don't mind at all... she is kind of warning us of something. She is a cutie, but I didn't train her and she doesn't sleep in a crate. She sleeps where she wants to. Only not in my bed during the night. Hubby loves her but doesn't like pets in bed. I had a kitten and it was the same; she only slept in my sons' bed 🤭

[@hcs140975]

How did you crate train your dog??

[@godschild2432]

Beautiful and obedient dog

[@damitzdesign]

What time does Frankie go to sleep? He goes to potty three a day? I have a smoothed-hair dachshund and she's only 6 months old 😊

[@jeannereinisch114]

He is so well behaved and trained…congrats!

[@chop3625]

So nicely crate trained, kudos👍

[@cassiewallace3387]

Such a good boy! I'm on a list for a mini and would love to know what you did to train him?! I've heard they can be difficult to train and most nervous about that.

[@ElizabethGlasby]

Yer bc their dumb like a cavalier , only owned for their cuteness

[@MsYanira1969]

Beautiful dog! Well trained. ❤️❤️❤️

[@marleneavalos9491]

Where did you buy the cage?

[@HidayatFamily2.8]

Love it

[@robertoferes2455]

Where did you buy the crate?

[@mrkrinkle7051]

0:56,so Cute!!!

[@babymaknae7121]

Why you close the cage with cloth?

[@berkbuns]

They are den animals - it makes them feel safe, which allows them to be calm and relaxed.

[@dongo3042]

my lil frankie (frankenstein) is just a little younger than yours, same colouring too :-) so cute, nice video! also, what kind of harness do you use? it looks great!

[@dongo3042]

ok i cannot BELIEVE how much our frankies look alike!!!

[@johnkeith2767]

What kind of dog food to you feed Frankie?

[@torres97jds]

How many times did you feed him?

[@cynthiadaugherty8035]

Hims such a good boy❤

[@norespincemaille5139]

Where is Frankies bed from? PS: he’s so chute 😍

[@SonNguyen-qf1fx]

I have a mini red long haired dachshund named Franky as well!

[@nikkicamp2348]

I agree. No cage

[@delblink]

he’s so well behaved, how did you train him? dachsunds are a tad stubborn, or so i’ve heard

[@evdrd2453]

Thanks for sharing your experience ! Careful not to pick them up too often though, it can be really harmful for their back in the long run

[@robertcushman7002]

I leve my kennel open, he go's in and out at will, I would Never close the lock the door for any Reason!! I know you love your boy,please don't lock him in. as far as eating, I'm afraid of what Mr. man won't eat. lol cheers 🍾🍾🍾🏳️‍🌈

[@SteveSwags]

They're just fine secured in a crate. Mine has no reason to wander the house at night. He can go 10-12 hours, if needed, without having to go outside for a bathroom break.

[@sandyhausler5290]

The best way to get a dachshund to take a pill is to embed it in food. We used a piece of hotdog! Worked like a charm!

[@josephbuschette4185]

Two questions, are you from San Diego, or why do you have the 619 tattoo? Also, we have a short hair mini, is there a huge change in the amount of brushing and cleaning between the long and the short hair?

[@berkbuns]

Short haired dachshunds don’t require daily brushing. A couple of times a week works. Long haired dachshunds should be brushed daily and should probably be bathed more often.

[@ParzivalPlaysAtari]

I had a black & tan dachsund for 16 years. He was never put in a crate, never wore a collar, and rarely was ever on a leash. He slept right next to me in bed. Crates are simply not necesaary.

[@sandyavalos3305]

They are helpful if you don’t want them to be chewing on things when you are doing tasks which require your full attention. In 5 seconds they could destroy something while you look away. But this is only in the beginning when they are a puppy and you are training them

[@jefferyhall1646]

OMG he looks just like Stella

[@billjackson4703]

Must be wild !! being put back in cage so much !!!

[@mistyskye3]

i agree, too much time in the cage. smh

[@karenstanley964]

I ❤ Frankie 🎉😂🎉

[@claudiamulder4745]

i have an dachshund as well, he is almost 1 year old, but he is currently destroying all of his toys, even the most durable ones we were able to buy, do you or anyone in the comments have any tips for some good solid durable dog toys? i am from the netherlands

[@Lindsey-jr4xr]

im getting a mini longhair puppy this weekend and im so excited it brought me to this video of your boy. Frankie looks like he's very intelligent and has his human trained very well lol. thanks for sharing video of him, he's very sweet.

[@cynthiadaugherty8035]

What do you feed him.

[@Moving.to.the.moon.]

She’s sooo quiet !! Any suggestions on how to keep them from barking

[@beavishawk1]

Dogs bark.. That's what they do.. Get a mute Russian kid if that's what you want

[@Aparecida-mw5ir]

Que lindo demais ❤❤❤❤

[@jenniferhite260]

Awwe

you should put the need in with his food!! he wouldn't even know hehe

[@delinaranucci7928]

[@wallyj2000]

your dog is so well behaved more so than people‘s children thanks for sharing would you mind sharing what breed are you got him from thanks 🙏🏻

[@sandyavalos3305]

Don’t compare dogs with children. They are completely different

[@hcs140975]

Is he in the crate all night??

[@pollymiller616]

Frankie almost look like Daphne cute crusoe sister

[@laviedejulie]

Thank you fo the nice video. Could you kindly exlaine please, why do you put him in the cage for the night? he might want to go to the toilet or to eat or just walking around.

[@berkbuns]

Dogs are den animals and they feel safe in their crates. They only have to go during the nights while they are still puppies and they make it known if they have to go. Plus, responsible owners know to be on the lookout during the puppy phase. They will learn to hold it longer and longer as their bladders grow bigger. Animals will not go in their crates unless the crates are too big. They need to be just big enough to turn around in and lie down comfortably. Sleep time is not for just walking around.

[@ellierfromthebronx4531]

I just don't agree with the cage ...

[@Ginx-pe4si]

Me too. Cage should always be left open.

[@balancedeerlennon]

Some dogs feel secure in their cage

[@Flaggyt]

I thought exactly the same our dachs is in his bench with the door open. A closed cage is absolutely horrible.

[@Flaggyt]

​@@balancedeerlennon Hardly, that sounds like an excuse to lock them up. We never locked any dog of ours in a cage ever. And if they only feel secure in a locked cage you have created a very scared little dog and have to work in that, not locking the cage.

[@junelesher2794]

If your home ever catches fire, all You have to do is grab that crate and your pet is safe and you know just where it is

[@sandyavalos3305]

This is about one year since I have watched this video. For all that are bashing her for putting her dog in a kennel, get educated about. My dachshund was semi crate trained. This has helped me make sure that he doesn’t chew things up, potty train him, and for him to have a safe place when I can’t take him along.

[@moonxoxo17]

City dogs go on the sidewalk? Must be hard to clean up when they go number 2 lol

[@VlogsbyValeria]

lol yes

[@caninetraining7.]

Why does he need meds? I’m thinking about adopting one and trying to learn the most I can 😀

[@alizae.garvin2604]

Its probably monthly heartworm preventative medication.

Shocking to put him in a cage at night. Very upsetting.

Does he shed a lot?

Over the summer yes!

[@nanaaccount8434]

You know some people prefer to train their doggies to be in a crate. If doggy doesn't mind it, it's ok!😊

[@marekzak6951]

What is the advantage to let dog sleep in cage 50x50cm ? I have never seen this, so just asking. He certainly looks good anyway.

[@Foxhead2012]

Dachshunds generally like crates from what I've seen/ in my experience. Mine got excited the first time she saw hers, I've never once had to put her in or make her go inside. She does it on her own, curls up and it's big snoozing for her. She basically trained herself.

[@Hodoss]

@@Foxhead2012Oh, she saw it as a burrow! I don’t use crates, but I’ve noticed our dachshunds love to burrow under the blankets. One wanted to guard but not leave the blankets so we had barking blankets.

[@jessehellakoo]

He looks just like mine

[@lgronewold1962]

I now have 2 dachshunds my Daisy who passed away last year slept with me. I tried Pumpkin she didn’t want to. I got Poppi last March she was 1 year old. I have tried yet. I don’t like crates your dog isn’t free to roam at night. My Pumpkin sleeps in the bathroom. She’s a long hair dachshund. My Poppi is short haired dachshund she’s always with me she lays down on my left side on my couch. My first dog was a basset hound Sadie Sue she got sick had to put her down in 2016. She was in a crate when I left but that’s it. Basset are a great dog there very friendly dogs.

Er scheint so ein lieber Hund zu sein. Warum muss er in einem Käfig ohne Licht und Luftzufuhr schlafen? Wie würden Sie sich fühlen, wenn man Sie abends so wegschließt? Und dass Sie permanent die Pfoten reinigen, ob das so gesund ist. Unser Hund wird nur bei Regen mit einem normalen Handtuch die Pfoten getrocknet. Der süße Hund kann einem bei so einer Halterin nur leid tun. Schrecklich

[@EilandMeisje85]

Do what’s best for your dog, but don’t tell others what to do with theirs. So if that’s how she puts him to sleep at night than that’s just fine.

[@linguafranca7115]

@@EilandMeisje85 no it is not

[@tiannasticks3276]

Boy your stupid 😂 “pooooor thing locked in a black out cage” it’s a crate bro. SOMETHING ALMOST EVERY DOG OWNER uses to travel and keep there dogs safe at night from themselves or other pet in the house hold. Crate is blacked out so she can sleep peacefully at night. Tbh you sound like you are neglecting yours. Long haired Dachshunds have different hair lengths. There not all the same. So the dogs hair might naturally be that length. But I bet you didn’t know that did you? Fix yourself before you speak on others.
