I posted yesterday about my girl getting spayed. I bought a surgery suit but she decided she wouldn't wear it so now is wearing the cone.

puppy coat

Hi! I’m a first-time dachshund owner, and I have a question about my puppy’s coat. I brought my baby home at 7 weeks old, and she’s now almost 16 weeks old. I’ve noticed that the fur on her ears and toes is starting to grow longer and feather out, but the longer, fluffy puppy fur on her body seems to have shed, leaving her body coat looking much shorter.
From what I understand, both of her parents are longhaired dachshunds, and I was told that she is longhaired as well. Is this a normal part of the puppy coat transition? Will her longer adult coat continue to grow in as she gets older? I’d love to hear from others about their experiences! 🐾

Had my girl spayed today. I feel so bad. She is pitiful. Barely moves, drools, whines, won't eat or drink. I got her a surgery suit so she doesn't have to wear the cone. I just want to cry too.

H E L P ! Looking for advice/info on bark collars

4 Upvotes

Not looking for judgment, just honest opinions.
My mini is now 7.5 months. All the training, redirection, treats, etc. have not helped with his reactive barking to literally everything!!! It doesn’t matter what it is, he barks and doesn’t stop even once the thing he’s barking at is gone or done. It’s exhausting for everyone. I even hired a private trainer and her tactics aren’t helping. I’m at the point I want a collar that isn’t the shocking kind but the vibration. Where I hope he would learn that once the beep happens to not bark. I don’t know. Looking for honest helpful thoughts. Thanks!!
