I am a 40 yr old woman, married with 8 kids(4 of them step) and several grandchildren. I have loved and lost and have also been blessed with a great family that, altho we have our ups and downs. I am insightful and give advice frequently to our kids, who range from 14 to 26. More often than not this advice pays off for them. Age brings wisdom and I enjoy sharing this wisdom with others

  • Stubborn Dachshund! Can anyone help?

    We have a 5 month old Dachshund puppy, who refuses to house break or be trained in any way. He belongs to my daughter(who is 14) and when she first got him, she was to easy on the discipline. Now that the newness has worn off, she wants us to help her. He needs to be "trained" but I fear it's too late. She has let him get away with this for so long now. He also chews on everything in spite of having chew toys and other things to play with. The poor dog spends more time in his cage than ever, because we cannot constantly watch him. He refuses to listen to anyone but my daughter, who can't bring herself to discipline with any authority.

    I know dachshunds are stubborn and hard to train(we have had them before) but this is ridiculous. We are moving into a new house soon and cannot have this problem there. I don't want to have to give him away, that would break her heart.

    Can anyone give me a useful solution? I can't afford to have him professionally trained.

    Thanks for any help.
