I hear, little guy, that you don't really like your harness. I understand -- girdles are no fun. :-) But, and this is a biggie, you need to get used to it. Harnesses are MUCH better for your overall health than just a collar. I know you love to run like the wind when you go outside and if you have just a collar and a leash, well, sometimes you forget just how long that leash is. If you do forget, you can come to the end of it and -- BAM! -- you get snapped back and can even flip yourself! That could hurt your neck (not to mention your back). A harness pretty much prevents that back-flip. You get a yank on your chest rather than your neck. So, Tyrone, hang in there (not literally, of course!) and get used to your harness. Mom and Dad are only thinking of your safety and health when they ask you to wear it. And send us some pictures of yourself!!! Welcome, Tyrone, to the Hot Dog Blog!!

Also, i'm worried about fireworks scaring all my doxies. my son is 21 today and hes comin over to set some off. my choices are-- put them inside alone or hold them outside. i tried to put leash on Bela & just let her drag it around. i read somewhere not to let them chew on it, thats all she wanted to do! i tried distracting, no luck, planning to try again tonight.

You can see it in their faces. Congratulations on your new doxie pup! They're funny and cute and are guaranteed to brighten up your day. I'd love to see pictures!

So glad you're having fun with your new puppy! Wanted to let you know, a dachshund is a stubborn breed! You're gonna probably have a time with potty training, but just be patient and consistent, and always give rewards for good behavior! They're smart little buggers too, so training now would be helpful, and doggy proof the house! He'll get used to the leash; try putting it on him and just letting him walk around with it on, praising him when he sees it and when he's being a good boy. I love Caesar Milan and his training techniques too, his show is called Dog whisperer on Nat Geo. For the most part, it's a learning experience for both dog and owner! Hi!
