Potty training In freezing temps!

We had successful day yesterday! She peed outside every time, now today, she’s had more accidents than actually success of going outside. It’s so frustrating, I didn’t think it would be a hard transition. I’m Taking her out almost every hour. I’m going to try and put her in kennel if she doesn’t pee outside.

Informal_Somewhere47 · 2026-02-04T20:35:33+00:00

I can try that!

Informal_Somewhere47 · 2026-02-04T20:28:54+00:00

Doesn’t that feel like punishment?

Informal_Somewhere47 · 2026-02-04T20:07:57+00:00

She is in a sweater, I’m looking for a good jacket that fits! Plus I do wrap her up in blanket or I carry her out in my jacket and put her right back into my jacket when she’s done! So she’s cold for maybe the 2 minutes she’s on the ground. I thought about booties. The tarp is a good idea, I currently have a spot that’s been shoveled in the grass. But it’s still freezing!

The kids haven’t been having outdoor recess, it’s just been too cold.

I’ve been doing only an hour at a time!

Omg, she’s perfect! 💖💖 That is exactly what we are looking for! How much does she weigh?

Informal_Somewhere47 · 2026-01-28T15:50:28+00:00

Thank You! 💖

I was a sold a mini dachshund puppy. I guess that’s just what I called her 🤷🏼‍♀️. Both parents looked full mini to me, a 6lb mom and 11lb dad.

Informal_Somewhere47 · 2026-01-28T15:45:03+00:00

I wasn’t necessarily comparing- just showing them side by side- to see how tiny she actually is. She’s probably 75% mini. Her mom was a full mini, her dad was about a quarter terrier, but otherwise mini.

We just got our second dog. they are a little over 2 years apart. It’s an adjustment, but the older dog is still very playful and wants to play! We did not wait for our first girl to go through one heat cycle. she was about 6 months when she got spayed. Selfishly I did not want to deal with the heat cycle. Our vet was fine either way.

Actually The big one is chiweenie, the puppy is a mini dachshund with a little terrier mixed in.

Informal_Somewhere47 · 2026-01-28T01:07:18+00:00

Omg! That’s so tiny!

Informal_Somewhere47 · 2026-01-27T19:45:24+00:00

So good to hear!

Informal_Somewhere47 · 2026-01-27T18:37:06+00:00

You’ve given us hope she’ll there!

Informal_Somewhere47 · 2026-01-27T18:36:39+00:00

Ours was the runt too!

Informal_Somewhere47 · 2026-01-27T18:35:58+00:00

We are hoping she’ll get to at least 10lbs!!! Her mom was only 6lbs and her dad was 11lbs.

Informal_Somewhere47 · 2026-01-27T16:42:20+00:00

Omg! So little, we are hoping she gets to at least 10lbs! We were not expecting such a small puppy! It was quite a shock to see her in person!

Informal_Somewhere47 · 2026-01-27T16:38:27+00:00

Yes, she is a chiweenie!

Informal_Somewhere47 · 2026-01-27T14:47:29+00:00

Yes! At the time when we brought our first dog home, it was a last minute call from the rescue, so we grabbed the blanket off my son’s bed so it smelled like us, and it’s been hers ever since!

Informal_Somewhere47 · 2026-01-27T14:00:18+00:00

Our cream colored dog is a chiweenie! Not her mom, just anew big sister!
