awww zamboni! lol your gusy are so cute

hmm my dog is a spoiled brat but what kinda helped was spraying windex (or the peepee scent spray) on his wee wee pad..... windex works also because i think they said it has omonia in it orsomething like that which makes dogs want to cover up there scent with their own, but we mostly used the peepee spray which smells like a$$

haha, i read this and immediately thought of 'my big fat greek wedding'

I have a mini dachshund also!!!! They are the sweetest most loyal dogs, but very very stubborn! The idiots guide to owning a dachshund is a definite must have. She is adorable and I love the name

Re: Puppy!!

Keep her in a fenced in area inside the house on Newspaper. Unless you don't plan to have her go outside at all? Then use the wee wee pads. If she's sniffing around on the floor.... or circling she's about to go. So grab her and run if she's on carpet!!!!!!!!! EVENTUALLY the newspaper area is taken away or made smaller. Wee wee pads are amazing as a backup once she's potty trained and ur gonna be out at work or whatever.

Have fun.... and be patient it won't happen overnight!!!
