How to stop your Dachshunds excessive barking

Take a look at our Before and After video of dealing with Excessive barking, with Arnold the Miniature Dachshund. Arnold joined our 3 week Complete Training Programme for obedience training. One of the main concerns Arnold’s owners had was his excessive barking. Arnold is quite a nervous dog and would bark at people entering the house or pass by. In order to tackle this problem, we worked on building his confidence and pairing positive associations with people. Arnold had also learned that he could get attention from barking, so we taught him that when he is quiet and gives eye contact, he will then be rewarded with either a toy or some fuss. Take a look at the video and see how well he did.

As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home kzbin.infoUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life's work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.

I will never have another breed. They are the best.

[@MrJake023]

They are such happy little guys Tails always wagging

[@eloiserossellehitalia8236]

My dach woke up from his deep sleep when he heard a barking dog from this video 😅

[@kck9742]

Mine looked up... he's used to mama watching videos on his kind, LOL

[@deeds517]

They truly are the best dogs to own 💕

[@packmantreasures4687]

Marlie yes!!!!!!!

[@user-vn7xh4cu8v]

Marlie yep they are!

[@lexiemars8202]

Marlie definitely I have 3

[@mymuttollie6445]

Marlie I am getting 2 but through research I’ve seen longhaired ones are ‘less viscous’ and calmer is this true or do you not know ? Thanks

[@CGJUGO80]

they are such purposeless oversized rodents lol..useless creatures

[@DrJones-nh4my]

My two Dixie’s came running hearing Arnold barking. Hey who’s barking? Is it you? Haha

[@abuseofviolence]

In confirm that it's not so easy... My doxie would bark for play, for food, for going out, because there is a car in front of the house, because there is children behind the house, because he can smell a cat or a rabbit, because music is too loud, because it's too silent, because there is ghosts and UFOs, because he was happy, because he was sad. He had to communicate and every bark had its functions and variations. When he didn't like something he would stand up, wait a few seconds and make a silent "wofff" which means "I don't like that".

[@breezemorales]

abuseofviolence i’m cryinggggg because this is EXACTLY my dog. Hes soooo fucking bad i need to take him to training classes!!!!

[@amucandlecraft5423]

abuseofviolence They were bred to hunt in burrows and bark to alert the hunter after. Getting a Dachshund if you don’t like barking is a bit silly.

[@bluebeeboo]

Literally my doxie too 😭

[@bluebeeboo]

@@amucandlecraft5423 I don't know that, coz my parents just suddenly gave me a doxie on my birthday. And although I hated the idea of having a dog and the responsibilities, I've grown used to it and I love her very much. But yeah, the excessive barking can be pretty annoying sometimes. Whenever she does that I just hug and try to comfort her with gentle rubs. She's really anxious about almost anything. Even by just accidentally hitting/dropping something that creates an audible noise can trigger the barking 😅

[@dianaa4065]

Did this become better with age? I have a very anxious 1 year old doxie and she won’t quit barking at everything and everyone :( my poor baby

[@libbyjensen1858]

Loved this video! Thanks for posting!

[@jackiesenich2622]

Arnold is so adorable!!!!

[@theonlinedogtrainerreview5747]

Fantastic video!

[@drmichaelelinski6992]

Very cute dachshund and cute video.

[@squidreuel]

we got a rescue that was very sick, he is the greatest, when he dose bark its so soft and sweet sounding,

[@georgettebeacham4682]

Love them

[@pdm42079]

Watching this video with you're dachshund in the room leads to excessive barking lol. I wasn't thinking when I hit play all 4 dogs went crazy. Good video tho.

[@edwardpockett4862]

he lovely !!

[@packmantreasures4687]

I just love so much this dogs, i truly believe there little Ángels!!!

[@danielyourko1714]

Looks Arnold has you trained perfectly lol

[@kck9742]

My doxie is, thankfully, not too bad a barker, but he does keen and yowl at high-pitched music or singing, even if it's not loud.

[@chrishart2064]

That’s fantastic! How long did it take you to train him? We have a mini Dachshund and he has the same issues.

[@uu119816]

We named our dachshund Arnold too.

[@SuperiorAmericanGuy]

Dauchshunds are so adorable and funny when they bark nonstop and climb your legs

[@erinsun2611]

this type are non steady. they keep climing on your clothes. is a non stop

[@SuperiorAmericanGuy]

I want a dachshund but they are so rare and expensive.

[@nicholas_debono]

I really want a dachshund but im too young and my parents say that im not responsible enough so i can't wait to grow up and own one they're just so adorable and cute😊😊😇😇

[@aleksasltu5656]

Don't get a dog. You'll have to deal with them barking when left alone. That's a huuuuge issue that you have no idea how much pain it can cause you.

[@CC-bm3wb]

@@aleksasltu5656 You're right. Get two

[@sandysutton2684]

Love my two but the barking. How long did it take to train

[@fraudbuster5232]

I have the same problem with my chocolate and tan, along with the fact he is now terrified to go for a walk. This happened right after we moved into our new home.

[@mmishra8318]

I ♥ dachund!!!

[@mil1450]

I just fell in love with dachshunds after 3 of them climbed on my legs in Florida, AND THEN A SMALL BABY DACHSHUND START CLIMBING ON ME IT WAS TOO PURE!

[@CGJUGO80]

All they wanted was food lol

[@lisan11]

I’m getting a baby mini dachshund. I also have a 3 year old son. I hope I can train the dog to be calm and well behaved.

[@danielcs625]

what size of harness or vest you use for Arnold?

[@haplessasshole9615]

I would have loved to have watched this video, but within 20 seconds of the start of the actual dog footage, my dachshund started yelping!

[@johninokla2635]

WTF, have you not heard of using ear phones so the dog doesn't hear the video?

[@HugDeeznueces]

what do you guys use for treats when training? smallest bits of snack?

[@DChristina]

Daschund mixes are the best! Please adopt from your local pound/shelter🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕

[@maxinesherburn3087]

Great I loved my doxie

[@phantomstratocaster]

dachound mixes are not the best that's why there in the pound

[@DChristina]

@@phantomstratocaster -You’re wrong! Daschund mixes are the best! What a strange thing to suggest a dog is inferior if he’s at the shelter. There are many reasons pets are brought there.

[@phantomstratocaster]

@@DChristina there is something disgustingly wrong with large dog and mini dashound mixes

[@DChristina]

@@phantomstratocaster -Our doggie is a regular (not min) Daschund and mini Italian Greyhound mix. Feel better? What I find a bit disgusting is the snobbery of purebred dog owners that encourages a million unhealthy puppy mills. So unnecessary when there are so many wonderful dogs waiting to be adopted at shelters.

[@rustycr0w]

This is spot on. Our 5 month old now only barks when she needs to go out or when she’s a bit scared. Food is the best way to train out bad behaviour, keep a dachshunds focus (pretty much the hardest part) and help them be obedient. Also a bit of old fashioned firmness doesn’t go a miss, although with Arnold here that wouldn’t work because he’s so anxious already. With our Dory sometimes she just needs to be told lol.

[@candisibert9181]

Trent Crow too many rewarding treats and food will make your doxie overweight and that causes many back problems.

[@NAEEMKHANFABREP]

😘 cutie pies 👏

[@theflyingbrompton4787]

Dachshunds are natural ball chasers and barkers. Give any dog treats and you will have their full attention.

[@daddyfeelit7543]

One time I was trying to get mine to bark by barking myself to the back of his ears. He turned and looked at me frightened. Did I do something wrong?

[@alejandrom.9951]

Is Arnold a Standard or Miniature Dachshund ?

[@davidlowe4552]

maybe our family had an easy dachsund ( full long haired) as he only really barked at the doorbell. He's now 16 years old and not in great health (blind with cancer but with manageable symptoms)He's never been a problem although stubborn with his food as he's never eaten "dog food" only what we have eaten within reason eg cooked meat like lamb chicken et with fresh veg. A strange love of anchovies and olives which are his treats. he'll bite your arm off for fish, and he likes a share of my tea in the morning

[@bradhill1099]

Good Boy

[@captainjurgh8142]

Sigh... Dachshunds are very anxious and sensitive breed indeed, sure. But they're also very loyal and honest. If only my neighbor knew how to treat their pet dachshund this nicely. It just won't stop barking and yelping sometimes. I almost had it.

[@veronicamulero2189]

Yep. I iseplay with mine. But whenhunans come to the door he will bark. But I have been nothing but calm and I pick him up and open the door and when he feels my calmness, he stops to bark. Or I tell him to stop. And he does. You can control the amount of barking, but people need to be reminded that they are hunting dogs, not lap dogs and you can’t get mad of what they are bred for. They do have different barks. So I learned that. They are active and you need to play with them, give them something to destroy and walk them. Then they are relaxed.

[@marylavine2632]

Luv my half doxie but for barking and agression.

[@Jeyferret]

So, really, this is just an advertisement not a training video. So glad your little dog doesn't bark anymore but, here in Australia, my dog is still being quite the pain in the arse..

[@mikedennington8856]

Jeyferret Hayes maybe it's cos ur a pain and it takes after u...

[@mr.mockingbrd]

Jeyferret Hayes well the meaning of this "advertisement" is to train your dog properly.

[@Erizedd]

There are a few tips to take away from this video anyway. It's a start for something you can try.

[@nijojohnygeorge]

Background music?

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Just pick them up and it stops. Give them food and it stops. Ignore them and it stops. I have had two very quiet standards. They worry about you and they worry about food. If you are cool, they will be too

[@rachelkaper4961]

You've clearly never met my doxie lol

[@ktktktktktkt]

Yeah... This doesn't work with mine.

[@keithmuehsam8990]

They are great. Unless they are your neighbor. One next door barks all day long. My infant has trouble napping.

[@bobscho3310]

That dachhund looks exactly like mine

[@danbrown773]

Where is Royvon dog training? Our dachshund could do with some support. Think I noticed a midlands accent...

[@twn2rbo]

I can’t wait to get my hot dog!

[@carsondcutler]

I have a mini who I love to death, but he is a terror. I can't seem to get him to cooperate at all. Potty training took 6 months. I like that you teach focus first. That is what I will work on. What treats do you use while training?

[@imfunnygal511]

Carson Cutler My vet recommended baby carrots as training treats. They are lower in calorie than many other dog treats, so I don't feel badly about giving my doxie them while training. There are some tiny training treats you can get at any pet supply store too. I always have carrots on hand, so I use those, and my dog loves them.

[@doggydantheonlinedogtraine4752]

My dog won't stop barking at the cats outside at 6:30 AM. She won't calm down. What do I do?

[@thought1ess]

Having a dachshund in a multistory house is the best way to annoy all your neighbors.

[@keithmuehsam8990]

They’ll get him and they’ll cook the little bastard

[@Roarxez]

My dog Franky always barks at people entering the house,Knocking on the door ringing the doorbell hopefully I can teach him this and he will cut that out because it is really annoying..

[@Rosedaleb1]

I didn’t see or hear any step by step techniques on how to stop the anxiousness and barking.

[@crystaldavidson8563]

They are the best breed in the world I got the best weenie dog ever

[@tarashelton493]

Doxies are the best dogs ever!!! But if you got this problem with them barking like I did, go watch ceaser, the dog whisperer on stopping this behavior in doxi’s. It works better.

[@noahscott7272]

It was great progress but I feel it needed narration and some tips would have been nice.

[@GTVAlfaMan]

Great video, now how do I stop my Dachshund from excessive peeing?

[@michelequalters1103]

I had a dachshund and on Nov.5 2017 someone stole him out of my kennel in the back yard. I only had him outside for about a couple of hours I heard him barking but I didn't pay it any attention because he was constantly barking when he was outside. I had him for 6 years since he was a puppy it is really sad because you don't know if his alright or not. They say that they can come back home but I don't know if that will ever happen.

[@JC-xc8rx]

Michele Qualters sorry for your loss..

[@michelequalters1103]

Thanks I may get another dog at some point not sure what kind I want. I have eight cats so I'm happy with them.

[@ThePattibeth]

I would never ever leave my dachshunds unattended outside. Well not really, cause I used to take one for a walk and left the other tied outside, but it was within earshot and i could view her from the walk i took. Still I was risky.

[@rustycr0w]

Dachshunds are desirable dogs that are easy to steal because of their size. Most people also rightly train out aggression to strangers which makes it all the easier. We only leave ours outside for a few mins to do her business, never at night unattended and only let her in the patio bit near our back door. It’s not worth the risk. Sorry about your loss, it sucks.

[@DChristina]

Praying you get him back! Post signs, check the pound, post on craigslist. There's a chance, worth the effort.

[@joshuasaito1077]

oww hitman love dog hehehe

[@dogtrainingvideos3838]

My dog barks when I don’t let him in my bed and when I leave my room with him in it. Should I leave him in the cage longer to stop his anxiety?

[@campbellshook4671]

That’s called demand barking there are videos on how to fix it as well

I have a mini doxie..love her to pieces BUT she barks day and night. Bark collars don't work I've tried them and she just barks more. She just loves to hear her own voice and nothing will stop her. I was hoping for some actual training tips not just feeding a dog treats all the time. Still not sure how you shut that cute little dog up.

[@paulstope762]

Turn the music OFF

[@Marie-tq9wx]

Mine bark to sound the alarm that's why I have them. If I haven't been outside; I go outside the house when they bark and spend time with them....Their barking doesn't bother me but it irritates my husband. Bue he ignores them so that's what he gets. And he is supposed to be the big dog person at our home...hahahahahaha P.S. the big dogs don't bark when people come into their space without permission. they just bite your butt....

[@susanleighton6715]

I am not for or against this breed, I am not a dog lover at all, but when you have one barking under your bedroom window, day in day out, from selfish neighbours allowing it, causing stress and sleeplessness, it's only normal to dislike this breed.
