We have a 5.5 month old dachshund who will not potty train.
She is getting let out about every 1 - 1.5 hours when we are home. She will come inside after being outside for 15 minutes or so and pee/poop in the floor.
I've also tried adding a reward treat after she goes outside like she is supposed to and it has made ZERO difference.
She is also using her crate to go to the bathroom in. If her crate is open she will go inside the crate long enough to pee/poop and then get out of it. It's like she thinks it's the toilet for her. Anytime she is crated she will use the bathroom in it.
She has finally stopped chewing/biting for the most part. She will have an occasional accident, but after being corrected it stops.
The crate we have right now is a bit big for what she actually needs, so I think that might be the problem with the crate. I'm going to get her a smaller crate and see if that helps.
I don't know what else to do. Both of our adult dachshunds were pretty much house broken within a matter of weeks -- besides an accident here and there.
Any advice?
....or does anyone want a really cute dachshund?
