I have always practiced positive reinforcement for good behavior, which has gotten me good results.

I don't believe in manhandling your dog to show you are the boss or yelling or punishing them as this only causes them to become fearful of you and as the article states; act out aggressively out of fear.

Thanks for sharing Doozie!

Since she was 3 years old, unfixed, and dumped at a shelter pregnant, I suspect this may not have been her first litter. Whether she was a breeding bitch or just had a habit of getting pregnant, we'll never know.

Sadly, we decided both together and with the rescue that the pregnancy should be terminated. We had NO idea what the father was and whether this birth would be dangerous for her, none of us wanted to force her to continue to breed (in case she had been bred a lot) and mixed puppies are much more difficult to place through a breed-specific rescue. Additionally, the shelter didn't bother to check (big city shelter) on whether she was pregnant before giving certain vaccinations--the sort that do sometimes kill the puppies. I noticed immediately just by seeing her lady parts when she walked in front of me, but they didn't.

She was with us for 2 days before her spay, and she was "nesting" the entire time. I would not mind fostering the puppies and dealing with it until they could be adopted, but I completely agree that it was better she not have them.

However you may be on to something!

One additional behavior that I don't think has to do with pregnancy but may indicate her past. We have a vice grip attached to our kitchen table (not one you eat at, one you work at). If I need to do something very quickly before taking a dog out, I just slip the leash into the grip and they wait there. Butter was as calm as still pond one day, until I set the leash in the thing (plenty of lead on it) to tie my shoes. She had a COW. Threw herself to the ground and writhed around on the floor and managed to get herself out of her harness before I could pull the leash out of the grip. She does beautifully walking on a leash, but the fact that I was not holding the leash at the time made her crazy.]]> Wed, 28 Jul 2010 21:10:48 -0400 http://hotdogblog.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=13860&forum=14&post_id=113676#forumpost113676 dachshund - doxie training forum http://hotdogblog.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=13860&forum=14&post_id=113676#forumpost113676
Maybe your girl has had a similar problem and is exibiting weird maternal instincts. When you both are in the room, you are accounted for and she is looking to make sure she doesn't have any other "babies" she is missing??? When my mama dogs have puppies, it isn't uncommon for them to do this. They don't seem to have any understanding of how many there should be(and we have small litters of 2,3 or 4 puppies)and when they are all gathered together they will go looking around to make sure none have wandered off and are missing.]]> Wed, 28 Jul 2010 20:47:07 -0400 http://hotdogblog.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=13860&forum=14&post_id=113675#forumpost113675 dachshund - doxie training forum http://hotdogblog.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=13860&forum=14&post_id=113675#forumpost113675 Wed, 28 Jul 2010 19:46:37 -0400 http://hotdogblog.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=13864&forum=19&post_id=113674#forumpost113674 new dachshunds - doxies in the family http://hotdogblog.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=13864&forum=19&post_id=113674#forumpost113674 Wed, 28 Jul 2010 19:43:02 -0400 http://hotdogblog.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=13867&forum=19&post_id=113673#forumpost113673 new dachshunds - doxies in the family http://hotdogblog.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=13867&forum=19&post_id=113673#forumpost113673

This is Two, how are you? I have a question that I think maybe only you can answer. Why is it that when my Mama or Papa scratches me in just the right spot on my neck, my back leg goes kickie-kickie? I can't control it. If they start scratching when I am standing on the wood floor or sidewalk, I have to balace on three legs and go kickie-kickie with the forth leg because God knows I can't put my precious rear end on anything but carpet. I know you understand.

Does every doxie have a kickie-kickie spot? Why does my leg go kickie-kickie at all?

Thanks for your help on this matter.
