Animal And Company: Re: New very shy and fearful Dachshund

Ken is right . Somewhere down the line someone has been really mean to this little guy. You have to give it time and it will change. It cant in a few day. He is so worth it and you will have a very nice dog.

You will have to earn his trust and in a gentle way let him know who the master is. In the short time you have him you have made real progress but the little guy has probably been through alot and is assuming you are the same type as the person who has put him through the abuse he recieved. We know you are not that kind and it will take some time to convince him. Love and patience will win him over and please don't give up on him. You are a great mommy and show him who the boss really is.

I adopted a 1 year 5 month old male dachshund on Tuesday and Well the just shy quiet stage has ended. After a nap in his cage this morning he finally stepped out of the cage and then I had to try to corner him it was the only way I could pick him up. He thrashed around and tried to bite me when I tried to pick him up. Same thing happened when he was done outside in his fenced in area. I attached his leash to his halter and put him down. He of couse does not like being led around on the leas while I tried to do some things So he thrased around again and actually got loose of his harness so I had to quietly try to put the leash back on his collar and my brother spend a few minutes with him but then my brother left him without letting me know so I had to catch his leash then again he thrashed around and got loose of his collar. So I tried again to put his collar back on and pick him up. I did pick him up but not without him trying to jump around and bite me again. And during the minute he was loose he tried to scent mark again. I know he did not heed to pee as he was just outside and peed 4 times and pooped. I got upset and started to cry I dont know what to do except keep him either outside or in his crate. I cant have him marking everywhere and he wont stay on a leash. HELP!!
