I would love a video on bringing home a puppy when you already own a dog! How to introduce them to each other, help them bond, avoid jealousy, sleeping arrangements, etc. 🙏
I’ve binged all your videos! I get my puppy December 10 😀
Awww yay! Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed them ❤️❤️❤️
How is the puppy !!!!

I’m bringing home a new mini dachshund in like 5 weeks and this video helped so so much! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for these videos! My very first dachshund just passed away a few months ago, and I’ve been devastated. I’ve been binging your channel for the past few weeks to prepare for the next one, and we are finally picking up our new puppy today!
Perfect informative video! Thanks Lenny!! 💕💕🐶
Thanks zoe xx
I would love a video about introducing a new puppy to my nearly 1 year old daschund.
Trying to train my kids to ride in the basket. They so love to ride. I sleep in a dog bed 😂 we have a ramp. Only way they can get up and down. Doesn’t look so pretty but kids are safe. Tfs

🖤🖤🖤🖤
Hey massive congratulations on launching Nemo and crew I will definitely be putting a jumper or two on my x mas list. Just wanted to reach out and say a massive thanks. Watched all your vids last lock down and have had our pup Treacle a month now. Shes doing amazingly all toilet trained and shes just brill off lead / on walks and when left. Its really thanks to your advice and vids that we have had such a brilliant experience and avoided any issus. So just wanted to say how valuable your vids have been and thanks. Our plan was always to have 2 pups and we are on a waiting list atm and cant wait to welcome our second sausage!
Omg how lovely Victoria! Thanks so much! I’m so glad it’s going so well ❤️❤️ hope you manage to get sausage number 2 hehee x
We are bringing our long haired cream baby home in 3 weeks! We have a almost 3 year old Springer spaniel. I would love to see a video on how to introduce puppy and get everyone settled at home.
Hope to do this soon x
I pick up my little red & white dachshund in 2 weeks! She will be sausage #3 in our house and I can’t wait 😃
We're going to pick up our first puppy Friday (11/20) and these videos have been really helping alot. Shes a red long haired mini and we are excited and terrified at the same time... O.O I never knew how different Dachshunds are than regular dogs. Thanks for the advice! :)
Sounds absolutely gorgeous! Best of luck! You’ve got this 💪🏻
Great advice without being dogmatic. We picked up our new Dachshund yesterday and thought we were ready and prepared. Ha! First night not much sleep and lots of anxiety all round Pup included. Now we know we got most things pretty well right. You have have great tips and have given us confidence to keep going. Cheers. Oh BTW it’s pronounced Dachshund not Dachshund 😂
Hey Lenny we’ve really appreciated your videos over the last few weeks, as we’re picking up our pup next week, who’s dad is from Jacksondax!
Awww amazing!! Best of luck!! 💜
lovely video, thanks! Could you maybe do a video explaining how to introduce a dachshund puppy into a household with a cat. that would be really helpful! great videos btw
Thanks so much! I think that could be a good topic tor one of my live sessions :) x
Great video P Lenny! I have brought home 2 puppies and 1 rescue 7 month old. All Dachshunds. Good advise.for the first day home.
Oh my gosh! That’s a lot together 🙈 how did you end up with 3 at the same time!! X
Goofy me. I wasn't clear. The 3 were at different times. However, I did have 2 at one f time..
Hello :) we get our mini dachshund on Nov 11th and am super excited! We have a full house including a child (not mine but anyway) and another dog (a dingo, we are Australian) so I'm a little nervous about the pup around them - would be super interested in a video introducing a new pup to a preexisting dog :)
Sounds like it’s going to be a very fun home for your new dachshund 🥰🥰
Hi ! Thanks for sharing your knowledge ! I would love to know more about an adult Dachshund coming to your home....I am starting to babysitt one that i will adopt in some months ( the owner have health problem)... He is adorable but have separation anxiety and know 0 command......
I live in an apartment in Los Angeles. No grass, Piccolina thinks a wee pad is something to drag around and play with. She's had two sets of vaccines. She sleeps with me. The trip home was semi unsuccessful. She pucked 4 times, and would not settle. I finally caved and let her sleep across my lap, not safe but she did settle on the 7 hour drive. Although her food is not the best, lots of words I can't pronounce, I will very very slowly switch. I just watched your crate training video. Will work on that. House breaking, 🤦. Ive been unsuccessfully taking her to grass patches. No results. She wees and poops inside. Im about to watch your housebreaking video.
Hi Lenny, thanks for all the time and energy you’ve put into making these videos - I have watched them religiously and they have been a god send. I am picking my puppy up this weekend but due to Covid, I’ve had to bring him back home to my Mum’s house for two nights and will then head onwards to my own house. I know this isn’t ideal but for various reasons, there’s been no way around it. Do you have any ideas on how I can minimise his stress levels? I’m aware I’ll be disrupting him just as he is settling into another environment
Hey Dean! How exciting for you. As long as pup isn’t left and is allowed to cling to you, you should have much issues :) just make sure plenty of fun games between you two with food and high interest toys. 💜 the bond with you will be more important than the house change. And don’t overwhelm with people so just your mums household and your household for a week to so to let puppy diffuse once you’ve moved on xx
@@lennysixdachshunds1069 thank you so much! He was a lot better than I expected - thanks for putting my mind at ease.. I was dreading it! Going back to re-watch your videos to try and improve my training skills!!
Hi Lenny. Thank you for another great video! Which size crate do you recommend for a dachshund puppy? Thanks 😊
Hey Andrea, We use a amazonbasics medium :) x
@@lennysixdachshunds1069 Thank you ❤️
I could use info on bringing home an adult miniature long hair Duchshand. He’s 5 and being reformed with me.
Thank you so much for all the videos you’ve uploaded. I have a 14 week old smooth hair and it’s so nice to have some dachshund specific british content to watch. Can I ask how long you walk Nemo for? I’ve been doing some online reading about how you shouldn’t over exercise puppies and don’t want to give my dog development problems by over walking him. Thought you might have some great advice as a mother of a 3 legged puppy.
Hey!! I stick with all my puppies to 5 minutes per month if life on lead walkies and if it’s off lead on grass then up to 45-60 mins 💜 as off lead on grass they can rest and run more freely. Nemo is slightly more limited because of his hip dysplasia so we have to limit him to about 60 minutes every 2 days x
@@lennysixdachshunds1069 Thanks so much.
Perfect timing of your video for me. I will be getting a new puppy in a few weeks and will be needing all these new skills for training. I had another dachshund for 13.5 years, who passed away 6 months ago, but I had taken her in when she was almost 2 years old. I had watched your video on training the settle command and was very impressed; which, now that I’m expecting a new arrival, brought me back to your channel and saw this video. I understand about feeding the new puppy what the breeder has been feeding them, but unsure what food to feed them afterwards...there are so many brands and it’s rather overwhelming. Is there one or two that you recommend?
Hi Tracey! It really does depend as each dogs has different tastes :) your best bet I’d to read the ingredients and make sure the first ingredient is at least 50% meat anything else as a first ingredient and that’s no good x if you’re UK based I can recommend Enve Dog Food x
@@lennysixdachshunds1069 Thank you so much!! 😊 Unfortunately, I love on the other side of the pond (US). I checked and Enve doesn’t seem to ship here and not available on Amazon. (And. As I watched more of your videos, I did see the one where you talked about what you fed your dogs: but I so appreciate that you took the time to reply back to me!!) Your dogs are beautiful and their coats so shiny! So...back to the drawing board and I will have to research ingredients.
So many good brands out there Tracey! Just check the back of the bags for ingredients :) 💜
I wanted to ask you because the dachshund breeds in the UK are different to the ones in Europe and I wanted some clarification. In the UK are mini, twinnie and standard. In the EU are kannischen/rabbit, mini and standard. So the UK mini is the equivalent of what in the EU?
Hi Lenny Are there any videos on bringing a puppy home when you already have an adult dog at home? I can’t find any. Thanks
Hi Siân! Not quite yet but I will definitely be filming one 💜
Hi Lenny 😊 First of all thank you so much for your videos! It is rare to find someone with actual advices from personal experience, and that I appreciate a lot. Great work! I’m picking up my mini daxy very soon and it’ll be 10 days after his first vax (6 wks young). My biggest concern is how restricted were you, or should I be when it comes to travelling around with him or going for little walks where it’s quiet- as in a beach where there’re no dogs or barely any human around. Is it also okay if he hangs/plays with another puppy that has just received it’s first shot indoors/outdoors (private backyard) ?
Hi Lefi! 6 weeks old is far too young for a puppy to leave their mum and to have been vaccinated, so I’m hoping I’m misreading your comment 🙈🙈 ❤️❤️
I currently have a 3-year old LH boy. I am bringing home another LH male puppy in January. My curiosity is, how have your introductions gone and is potty and kennel training easier when having an older trained dog around?
I’ve always found introduction go best when you’re calm and allow the dogs to make their own decisions. Usually best to do in your garden now in your house if possible. And yes I do find house training and crate training easier with multiple dogs however you do still in the initial weeks have to be strict snd stick to routine :)
You may not be the right individual to pose the question to but I’d love it if you had any insight about bringing a new dachshund puppy home to a household with cats! We have two (who have stayed at grandma’s house with dogs but never lived with them at home) and we’re bringing our puppy home in a few days! Any insight would help!
Im trying to get my first sausagepuppy and your videos are really helpful! There are not a lot of breeders here in north Finland and there are huge waiting lines atm😳gotta be patient😂
Yea same here unfortunately! So much waiting 🙈
What brand is the tote bag in the thumbnail? I’m having a tough time finding the perfect pet tote bag for my new doxie pup.
It’s from made.com x
Hi Lenny, we already have to Daxie’s. Olivia a dapple that we had from a puppy and Frankie who re homed last year. We are picking up a brand new puppy 2nd Dec so I’d be interested in your advise on this. Frankie had already had 2 litters before we took her so I think she’s going to be quite maternal. However Olivia has never had puppies so I wonder if she might be a bit jealous 🤨
Hey Lisa! Are you getting a female or male to add to your two girls? X
@@lennysixdachshunds1069 another girl ❤️
I think it’ll mostly be a case of letting nature take its course. It can be tough bringing a third girl into a girl duo especially if one is more maternal and one potentially more of a jealous type. Make sure that if either ask for space you provide it. For example if they grumble at the pup. Distract the pup away so they learn you have control of the situation and listen to their needs. Never tell them off for snapping at the pup as it’s totally fair for them to not be happy with them in their space. And then as they all mature they’ll be balanced as you’ll be the leader but in a positive way 💜
Stupidly obvious point, but when you pick them up, make sure the breeder didn’t feed them 10 minutes before you arrived. If they did, their first memory of being in a car will be lots of vomiting... 🤦🏻♂️
The breeder should know that 🤣 oops!
This is exactly what happened to me, but she's been good every since that day
Hello! what are your thoughts on bringing a puppy into a home which has a cat? The cat is 12 and a very chilled guy who is used to dogs... can Daschunds bond with cats?
Absolutely!!! They’ll probably love each other x
Any behavioral tips on sharing? Toys, bones, etc?
Sharing amongst dogs? It’s natural for them not to share so 90% of the time you’ll find they don’t want to. I have some dogs that can play together and share snd take things from each other and others that don’t. It’s really just their personalities x
Hi Lenny, what would you suggest for adult dogs being introduced into a household with an existing dog? Both mini smooth daxies.
Hey! Can you Instagram me so I can voice memo :)
Thanks I will!
Hi Lenny I get my new. Baby next Monday what shall I do about him in the crate . You can’t just put him in it can you ? Im on my own & no other dogs x
Hello, have you done a video about bringing a puppy dachshund home to a house that already has a dog? That would be helpful, Thankyou x
Hey! I haven’t yet but it’s definitely on the cards 💜❤️ just need to convince the other half to let me have another puppy 🤣🤣
I want to get a mini and I have an two year old mix who is a big dog. It would be a great to see what should I do, how to introduce them, where to put dog bed, how to train. Mi dog sleeps in the living room on the sofa but his bed is on the closed terrace, it has a door so it's like a separate room, so do l need to get a crate then? I don't know much about puppy behaviour and training cuz we adopted a adult dog, your videos are helpful, also do you think it is safe for a dog that small to be living with a big one that is really active and energetic, that question bugs me..
Also just to ad that l too have a three legged dog so l was pretty excited to see you have one 😊
Hey!! I would definitely be cautious with them being such different sizes and I wouldn’t allow them to sleep together until you have a very clear picture as to how your bigger dog is feeling snd reacting to the little one :)
@@lennysixdachshunds1069 thank you 😁
Can you make a video of how to convince your parents to get a you a dog?? I really want one for Christmas
Oh I wish I could!!
If you want a puppy start by asking for a horse!
Is it safe (thinking about parvo) to get a crate from a friend?
Absolutely. Especially if your friends dogs are vaccinated :) but if not no problem just give it a disinfectant spray and you’ll be fine xx
Thank for your videos, we are wanting to get a puppy soon. Can you give any advise or make a video about introducing a puppy dashund to young children. We have a 4 yr and 15 month old. Thank you in advance!
Hey Katie! Sadly the one thing I have zero experience I’m is children. I could definitely guess what to do 🙊 but I wouldn’t want to guess wrong! X
Have the kids pet their back while you give her hem treats. Nippy puppies can really terrify kids. Dont let the kids carry them around. 👍
I was looking at getting 2 mini dashounds. Can I get 2 males from the same litter or 2 different litters? Is it better 2 get male and female or 2 males? What do you think
I would get one puppy and get them to a level you’re happy with training wise first :)
I am getting my daschund puppy in about 4 weeks. I have a Springer spaniel who is a Male and he is nearly 3. My daschund is a male also. How do I introduce my new puppy to him. My spaniel is very friendly and very docile
I would introduce in the garden if possible and home just pop the dachshund down if your spaniel is very laid back and let them interact naturally :) x
I can’t believe I just read your comment! We have a male Springer spaniel who will be 3 in august. We are bringing home our long haired mini dachshund pup in 3 weeks... how have your two done?? I’m so curious to hear! I’ve been scouring the internet looking for people with experience with the two breeds together... there’s not many. We are getting a cream which apparently have spaniel history so hoping the two get along nicely.
I got a GSD 1 yr and 9 months ..he is the kennel. A 2 month old dashund was given to me ...when and will I introduce the dashund..I placed him inside the plastic crate and let my GSD Max tied on other side smell him ..any more tips ..ty
If your GSD is dog friendly you should be fine to introduce them. Just show the dachshunds bottom to the GSD and then put him on the floor. Best place is usually your garden so neither dog feels as pressured :)
Hi, you said we can't put the puppy on the ground (since they won't be vaccinated) although we are picking up our puppy about 5 hours from our home and we will have to let him out the car to potty, so does that mean we can let him touch the ground, where will he go?
I would suggest bringing a puppy pad in the car and driving the whole 5 hours. If they haven’t been vaccinated it’s not worth the risk popping them down in public x
Do you brush your dachs’ teeth? Are there alternatives? I don’ t and his breath smells like not so fresh shrimp.
Hey! I do sometimes depends really. But we give plenty raw bones to help keep them clean. I would say 2 of mine are close to needing a dental. One is 11 years old and the other is 7 💜💜
I have one dog and three carat, please Help Sarah sparks
