Hey /an/,

My dachshund (not the one in the pic) apparently can't hold her waste. She pees when she's happy or excited or scared, and poops at any time wherever she is. It's been getting worse for a couple of months now; I really love her, but I live in an apartment so I just can't keep her. I thought it would be nice if I could give her to someone who lives in a house, but I don’t know anyone who does.

Any ideas about what I could do?

Thanks a lot.

It's called training.
You should try it.

It's not a behavior problem. She poops even in her bed and near her food.

Anything can be fixed.
I've had dachshunds that do that aswell.
Do they anymore?
No.

Do you walk her at least twice a day? Do you have a grass yard in your apartment complex? Dogs like to be outdoors and it works wonders to walk them. My mum kept a big dog in her apartment but never had problems cuz she walked her a lot.

My Dachshund actually had the same problem, except that he was incredibly submissive, and if someone bent over him he would flip over on his back and pee everywhere. I was very careful for a while.

You've just got to be patient. Dachshunds are small dogs, and have appropriately small bladders. Take her out to pee about every 2 to 3 hours, and if she's been just laying down for a while take her out when she gets up to move around. Also make sure to take her out as soon as she finishes eating.

I'm not going to say this will fix all the problems immediately, they certainly didn't for my dog, but it should help with the worst of it, and as she gets older the problems will mostly go away.

Dachshunds are known for this, especially miniatures. I knew one once that was a sweet sweet girl, and would lose control of her bladder with joy whenever anyone talked baby talk at her.

happens to old doxies.

Dachshunds are hard to housebreak as it is. I've owned several dachsies. They don't do well with holding it in, and as has been said, have small bladders. They don't have the temperament to obey at their own expense, such as enduring discomfort by holding their waste in.

That's adorable in a disgusting way.

this happens because this entire breed consists of fucking inbred retards, and all of them should be curbed on sight.

Dachshunds are my favorite breed. I've had full-sized, half-breeds, and miniatures, and none of them have had that problem except for the half-breed when she got to be over 15.

If yours is young, I'd try aggressive training techniques. If it's a year or two plus, I'd have a vet check it out before making your next move.

Is she old? If so, as hard as it is to do, it might be best just to put her down. If she's an old dog, it will only get worse, and it is just the beginning of more problems. I went this route years ago. It was tough to do, but in the end it was the best decision.

If she's not old, she may have some sort of problem, in which case, take her to the vet and get her looked at. The vet may suggest putting her to sleep though.

Hope you get through this.
