21 month old miniature Dachshund barks at dogs and strangers.?

i have a male long hair Dachshund and he is a very well mannered boy,he dont bark much at all,but we also have a Chihuahua and are Dachshund and Chihuahua had pups and we kept on for my daughter (chiweenie) and she is the same way.. loves are family,adores my daughter but when it comes to other people and dogs she is mean,barks all the time and i also dont no what to do,i just wanted to let you no you arent along and cant figure out what to do about her being like she is,good luck and hope you figure out what you can do about her..

She doesn't "hate" the other dogs, she's actually afraid of them. As for not allowing anyone to stroke her, it's not necessarily typical behavior for a dachshunds.

Her not letting anyone in pass the gate is not unusual.

So, first of all, this dog sounds like a dog with no rules and no bounderies. Dachshunds can become nasty obnoxious creatures without rules & bounderies. If you are unsure of how to train her, then enroll in an obedience class.

Find someone with other small dogs or friendly dogs and start walking with them on a regular basis. The dogs don't necessarily have to interact, but your dog does have to learn that she is not allowed to bark, lunge and nip at other dogs for no reason. If you allow this behavior to continue, one day, your dog is going to nip the wrong dog and get seriously hurt or possibly killed.

Same with putting their teeth on ANY human. If it was my dog, she would have gotten a good "NO" and a collar correction.

Get this dog out more often, get her around people, when she barks, verbal and collar correction, when she behaves, she gets praise.

As for barking when your out, put her in a crate with a stuffed Kong. that should keep her busy.

Meanwhile, find a good obedience training class.

BTW, I own dachshunds. I make it very clear to them what is allowed and what is not. My dogs can bark at the door, when the door bell rings, but when I approach the door, I tell them so sit and stay. I control who comes in the home, not the dogs. I do not allow bad behavior.

Hi,

All she needs is some serous training. 8-10 lessons for a life time of bliss. Along side that is meeting other dogs and learning how to be around them. It will change her dramatically. She has no idea how she is meant to act or react to different situations.

Training will give her confidence. She nips because that's all she knows.

Look for a trainer in your area and get some personal training for your pooch!

TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN......It's not hard.

Good luck

Among the many important responsibilities dog owners have, training a dog is among the most important. Learn here https://tr.im/dYN6o

Well-trained pets are easier to care for and love, cause less damage to your home (and theirs), and live happier lives.

Dogs send myriad messages with their bodies and their voices -- this is one reason why they're so fascinating and beloved. The more you understand their messages, the more you understand them and how your own messages are being understood.

Train, train train. Did you properly socialize her to dogs AND humans when she was young? It honestly sounds like not... You need to reward her for ANY behavior that is what you want- not barking, allowing people to pet you, etc. it all comes down to TRAINING
