Find a Dorgi Breeder The Dorgi is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Dachshund and the Corgi.

Ozzy the merle Dorgi at 2 years old—"Ozzy is a 2-year-old Dorgi or Dachshund / Cardigan Welsh Corgi mix. We rescued him from the local county animal shelter where I volunteer. He had been at the shelter for several months and had gone to 5 mobile adoption events with no luck. When we were packing up at the end of the 5th one I told him that if I saw him at the next one, he'd be coming home with me.

Huskita Puppies For Sale In IllinoisHe loves everyone he meets and is extremely social. I am also training him to be my Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) service dog and he goes with me everywhere.

I couldn't have asked for a better dog!!" Ozzy the merle Dorgi at 2 years old Left, Samson, a purebred longhaired Dachshund; right, Copper, a Dorgi hybrid "Copper is 6 months old in this photo and he is a Dorgi. His dad was a pure Corgi and his mother was a pure longhaired Mini Dachshund. He weighs 13 pounds. I don’t expect him to get much larger. "His little sidekick in the photo is Samson, a purebred longhaired Mini Doxie that was going to be put to sleep or given to a shelter, and we couldn't have that. "Copper is very full of energy, but not destructive at all, and he has some of the Dachshund traits in that he is very much a free thinker. He’s got a lot of “common sense.” He doesn't want you angry at him, but once he’s set his mind on something, it is very hard to get him away from it. He does have a tendency to “follow his nose” so we can’t ever let him off his leash. "He’s very playful with Samson and I am surprised that there’s never been any real fighting between them, especially given their sizes.

Copper gets along great with our 3 cats, but he doesn't always understand why they don’t want to play with him. "We have 2 acres and for the majority of the day they are out of their crates and frolic around the office on the property or out in the backyard. Once they are worn out, they take a nap in their crates for about 2-3 hours. They like to be crated together, so we do have a big crate we can put them in and we call it “cage fighting;” they just wrestle and play and wear themselves down! When it’s quiet time, though, they are crated separately. "After watching a couple of episodes of the Dog Whisperer, I did use one of the techniques, and found that Copper actually did respond well. Where Cesar often puts 2 fingers on the dog’s neck to ‘snap its focus to you,’ I have found Copper responds to this and I was able to train him to follow “finger snaps.” So he knows if we are in the office, finger snaps mean lie on your pillow. And outside it means to go wait for me to finish taking the puppy potty.

He’ll sit quietly while Samson and I wander about the yard. I was surprised in a way, but I think Copper understands now that I’m the boss, and he’s willing to be more compliant. I have to say, I would not have considered myself a dog person, but this Dorgi is a very good mix and I really think people will enjoy them!""Puppy apartments" have recently received rave reviews to help with a well-known challenge: potty-training puppies. It is a well-known fact that a great number of puppies are surrendered to shelters and put to sleep simply because the owners found potty-training too challenging. The so-called puppy apartment is built in such a way as to make the process easier. But do they work? As a certified dog trainer I have observed pros and cons to using a puppy apartment to train dogs. I'll discuss them both here, as well as how the method is meant to work. What Is a Puppy Apartment?The puppy apartment is basically a one bedroom apartment with a bathroom. If you purchase a puppy from a reputable dog breeder, the puppy will have started the potty training process.

They will recognize a puppy apartment as similar to the whelping or nesting box that they were born and nursed in. Both spaces work because they rely on innate instincts, offering areas that separate soiling from sleeping, eating, and drinking. Puppies understand the two distinct areas because they have an instinct to not soil the areas where they eat/drink/sleep. Unlike a whelping box, a puppy apartment has many entryways. Advantages of Using a Puppy Apartment Here's what I like about puppy apartments. When the puppy is inside and the door is closed, they are set up for success. They have two choices: to soil as far away as possible from their bed/water/food, or to soil their favorite sleeping/feeding area. Most puppies (unless they were crated all day and learn to sleep in their messes) will soil away from their sleeping area. This is their innate instinct. It makes potty training easier for puppy owners. Many owners would love to train their dogs to go outside to potty, but there are always those idle times when the puppy needs an indoor option.

Unlike a snug crate, where the puppy would be forced to soil in its sleeping area or painfully hold it for many minutes, the puppy apartment offers separate soiling space. A puppy apartment can save owners the hassle of waking up every two hours to take the puppy outdoors. This makes it unnecessary to limit water intake. Some dog owners limit water in order to eliminate night-time pee outings. There is less chance of puppies being scolded for soiling their snug crate in the night or when left alone. It is astounding the number of people who still get mad at puppies for not being able to hold their bladders and bowels. Here are some things I do not like about puppy apartments: Commercials for puppy apartments makes them look really easy to use. They show puppies who have the whole run of a room repeatedly returning to the puppy apartment to go potty. This looks too easy to be true. It's wrong to assume that a new puppy will use the apartment in such a way. It may work once the puppy is conditioned to use it and has developed bladder control, but there are other potential problems with using this method.

A puppy that gets used to a puppy apartment may be overwhelmed when she is let out. Once outside the apartment, a big world unveils itself. She no longer has a guideline or a choice. Rather, she can soil virtually anywhere without worrying about soiling her favorite sleeping or feeding area. This sets the pup up for failure. As any dog owner knows, once a puppy soils an area, the smell may linger if not cleaned promptly with the right products. When the puppy smells a previously soiled area, it may soil there again. The apartment method does not potty train puppies. It trains them only when they are in the apartment, but that is not practical. Some dog owners rely too heavily on the puppy apartment to avoid taking their dog out on walk for deserved exercise and socialization. Why Apartments Fail as Potty-Train Tools I have had clients for whom the puppy apartment failed. Here are some of the reasons: The puppy smelled his potty area but just doesn't make it there on time.

For a puppy under 12 weeks old, the moment he thinks he has to go potty, the pee or poop is already coming out! The puppy smelled his potty area but did not want to go inside the crate because he disliked being closed in it. If your puppy is reluctant to go inside, has associated being closed in it while you are gone, or is kept in there for a very long time, he may have negative associations with it. Dogs like enclosed spaces, for an appropriate amount of time. There are proven techniques to help dogs learn to love their crates. The puppy could not figure out the way back to the apartment. The world is very big for a puppy and he may not make it in time. To identify the apartment's sleeping area for them, try putting treats there every now and then. He will visit it often for pleasant surprises! Visiting on a more frequent basis may help him learn how to get in it and what's inside. It is also a good idea to invest in puppy pads with odor attractants to further grab the pup's attention.

The puppy did not have sufficient time to learn to use the "bathroom area." If you got your puppy when he was eight weeks old, a week may not be enough for him to learn where his bathroom is when he is outside the apartment. Make sure to always reward your puppy promptly when he uses the apartment to potty! Can a Crate Be Converted Into a Puppy Apartment? Technically yes, but there are some drawbacks. You need a way to divide the bedroom and bathroom areas so the puppy can see the boundaries and yet easily access both. Real puppy apartments have openings on most sides to make it easy for the puppy to access the bathroom area. If you are using a regular crate with only one door, your puppy may not make it all the way inside in time. His nose may know where the pad is, but his mind still has to figure out the fastest way to get there. The lack of sufficient doors may hinder the process and a puppy apartment may be a better choice. Do you like the idea of using a potty training apartment for your puppy?
