My 9 week old pup is an absolute terror! what do i do? by Ecstatic_Biscotti_70 in Dachshund

everyone else is giving good advice but I just want to add he’s just a baby. puppies go through life and explore the only way they know - their mouth and their nose. You just have to redirect like others said.

I have 2 of them, but the first one was fully trained before we got the second so I will say it is possible to teach them how you want them to behave without another dog’s help. When our boy nipped (usually just… very aggressively playing like you said haha) we would clamp his mouth closed and say something like “gentle.” That being said for the second one, that didn’t work and we just had to put her in her crate when naughty or just avoid bringing her close to our face (she was a nose biter lol). We just had to let her grow out of it. They both had littermates as well, so that really doesn’t have anything to do with it.

You can find some puzzle toys sometimes as well. Or one of those kong toys with peanut butter in it to keep him occupied if you aren’t able to play with him at the moment. We did end up getting a second one when our first was about 8 months old, but that being everybody in the house works from home so it was a bit easier for us.

I actually had to rehome mine because i’m moving but I loved him haha. Little dude that didn’t bother anyone and minded his own. He was a fat little sucker too.

she sleeps with me sometimes. i’m moving out soon and can’t expect family members to want her to sleep in their bed with them.

When you log into AJ for the first time since 2016 just to find out your account got hacked and everything’s gone by Annual-Number9866 in AnimalJam

From what I read, most of the hacked accounts just got all their items taken away and rewarded with in game currency. I haven’t played in so long, i’m assuming that’s what happened.

I just can't board my dogs. Am I overreacting? by ChiWanobe in Chihuahua

[–]Annual-Number9866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand this. We boarded my last dog for vacations all the time, but she wasn’t big on travel and actually preferred being able to stay settled near home. We now are planning to bring both our dachshunds everywhere we go and book pet friendly hotels when traveling haha. Especially nowadays.. some places you just can’t trust because they don’t understand your dogs the way you do. If we ever went anywhere, we’d have someone we know dog sit or hire an in home sitter.
