A Visitor asked the following question on 7/6/2007
I AM TRYING TO POTTY TRAIN MY 10 WEEK OLD MINATURE DAPPLE DACHSHUND. SHE HAS A HOUSE BUT IT IS NOT SMALL BUT WE BOUGHT A BIGGER CRATE AND IT IS ON ITS WAY. IM NOT REALLY SURE HOW OFTEN TO TAKE HER OUT. I TAKE HER OUT 15 MINUTES AFTER SHE EATS. ALSO ABOUT EVERY 30 MINUTES. IM NOT SURE IF I AM DOING THIS RIGHT? SHE IS ALWAYS PEEING MOSTLY IN HOUSE. I ALSO TAKE HER OUT WHEN SHE WAKES UP. I HAVE TRIED TO CUT BACK ON HAVING SO MUCH WATER IN HER BOWL. SO WHAT MY QUESTION IS HOW DO I GO ABOUT POTTY TRAINING? ALSO IF I SEE HER DRINK SOME WATER OUT OF HER BOWL, HOW LONG DO I WAIT TILL I TAKE HER OUT AND WHEN SHE EATS HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THAT TO CYCLE...I GUESS YOU WOULD SAY #2 TO COME OUT?

What you need to do is keep an eye on her at all times, so that you can see when she is preparing to go. When you can't watch keep her in a restricted area. Try using an exercise pen as a barrier. You can adjust the size a shape to fit your needs. Then you can do paper training inside the pen. See website for paper training and other ideas. dachshundsanddogs.com
