I wonder who would ever say that a dog bite could have been a good thing! This time it may have been so. The elderly couple have had two-year-old Millie for just a couple of weeks. They wanted company for Wirehaired Pip, age four; the two dogs get on famously. Read more…
Reading the dog incorrectly can cause us to do the very opposite of what is needed. Angus is a gorgeous miniature wire haired dachshund. He greeted me in a very friendly fashion and sniffed me (getting information about my own four dogs I’m sure). He then rolled over onto his back, still Read more…
It was quite hard to take a photo of six-year-old Daschund Chippy due to his continual barking. He was seldom still enough! This little dog is on high alert all the time and extremely vocal. He barks at every sound he hears and at anything passing the window. One of their other Read more…
Butter wouldn’t melt! I didn’t take this beautiful photo – at no stage were the little dogs either still or quiet enough. Blaze and Rolo, three-year-old Miniature Daschund brothers, are very excitable and extreme barkers. In order to get them to stop even briefly when people visit they have had Read more…

Highly stressed Dachshunds Barking, excitement, peeing indoors, nipping, jumping up, easily spooked, scared of people……it’s a long list all coming back to one thing – stress. Read more…
Two lovely-natured and much-loved little Wire haired Daschunds (doesn’t the picture on the left tell a story!). Both are eighteen months of age but not brothers. They are competitive teenagers. Schnitzel is a confident little dog – not needy at all. He loves a cuddle but is also happy to Read more…
Not a good photo as he merged with the background and the flash gave him eyes like flashlights! Matty is a lovely friendly little dog, six years of age. He was with the breeder for the first three years of his life and came to my clients not well socialised Read more…
Yesterday evening I went to visit Bangers and Mash (don’t you love it!), brother Miniature Dachshunds age 15 months. Mash on the left having his tummy tickled (not by me – I never got that close) is the more nervous and noisy one of the pair and despite being considerably Read more…
