Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum but I have recently purchased a beautiful miniature dachshund named Walter. He is such a loving little thing, however, if he is alone all he does is bark really loudly and then when he's with you hes either sleeping or biting you like crazy. I know this is all very normal but I would like some advice as to how I can nip it in the bud so Wally doesn't keep these bad habbits for the rest of his life. His bark is so loud you can hear it from the end of my long street and he is breaking skin on my nieces when they play with him. Also he doesn't 'whinge' at night but he does his LOUD bark, and so our neighbours don't complain we just let him sleep on the end of our bed. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks, Meg.
