    Miniature Dachshund sleeping issue

    will do! We’ve had him since 27th October and things were going really well for about a month in December-January, it’s just so frustrating that me being off work for so long has slipped us back a bit :(

    Miniature Dachshund sleeping issue

    okay thanks, but what do you suggest for overnight as this is where our issue seems to be lying mainly? Do we bring his crate up to our bedroom and try that? What if he keeps barking and scratching at the bars during the night?

    Hi there, new member here! We have a Miniature Dachshund called Woody, he’s 6 months old today and we’re still having trouble with him sleeping by night :( After a very tricky start with barking a lot through the night, before Christmas he was actually sleeping very well in his crate...
