Are those dachshunds?
I think I'm going to squeal.

Psst! Somebody should tell them that their clothes are see-through... O_O

My mother in law has an old set of those exact dogs. They seem to like to dig, and destroy things. They almost dug a hole through the door when she once put them in the laundry room while she was leaving home. I was pleasantly surprised my Beagle was so easy to train and we didn't have this problem. They are cute little fuckers, but oh man, your pic brings back memories of doggy disasters!

Second dog growing up was a Beagle/Dachshund mix, similar body structure to dachshunds with beagle coloration/character. Man, I loved that dog.

Thanks, this picture might just save my marriage. We came home today and saw our boxer ate some camera stuff, nothing expensive. This pic should put things in perspective!

dogs have this funny way of keeping you from getting too attached to material things.

You can help prevent this behavior by ignoring your pets 5 minutes before you leave and ignoring them for 5 minutes when you get home. This will help lower their anxiety about you being gone (which is the cause of this behavior).

haha, red wiener dogs are bad

Can you really blame someone with such a real puppy face?

seriously. pancakes, on the right, looks like a precious moments character. she gets away with murder.

"Ooh, is there more shit in those boxes that we can rip up?"

Damn those dogs need a spankin'!

Crate training ftw.

cruelty to animals ftl. I never crate trained my mini and she turned out just fine. Just yell at them when they do wrong and they very quickly get the hint.
My vet even told me that dachshunds are extremely hard headed and a small smack here and there is ok. He also wanted me to crate train her and I flat out refused. Just locked her in the kitchen with a baby gate when I went out for an hour or two and she did just fine.
My puppy fucked up a lot of my shit.....at the time, I blamed her 3x for chewing through my laptop power cord.....when in reality it was my dumb ass who unknowingly got the cord caught in the reclining mechanism of the recliner.

crates aren't cruel. they teach boundaries.

We tried to keep one of our dogs (beagle/dachshund mutt) in a crate when I was growing up. We quickly abandoned that idea after she dug through concrete flooring to get out.
3
wow. i think she earned it.
2
Crates aren't cruel. Our dog would go crazy without his, it's his safe place.
4
So yell at them 5 hours after the fact???? Yeah that's gonna do a lot of good.

I could talk about the safety benefits of crate training. I crate my my dogs so they do not hurt themselves. I have friends that are staunchly against crate training and have had to take their dogs to the vet because the dogs have gotten in and eaten bad things while they were gone either from the trash or chemicals around the house.
Even your potential example
I blamed her 3x for chewing through my laptop power cord.
was unsafe. I know my dog did that very thing while I was there even and it could have been dangerous for him. My dogs dont mind being crated and actually enjoy it, they just sleep all day anyways. They enjoy being in their crates and sleep in them or hang out in them even when we are here.
I will leave that thought with some pictures of destruction from when my girlfriends dog wasnt crated and has severe separation anxiety. This was every set of blinds in the house, along with many other things destroyed.
Edit: Fixed my run on stream of thoughts and terrible writing.

You're saying you'd rather yell at and smack your dog than give it a place of it's own where it can feel safe while you're gone? I think you're doing it wrong.
3
Your vet is an ignorant and so are you.

Thankfully they're still puppies. If you sell em' you should be able to afford a new couch.

Dachshunds are vindictive little animals. Don't piss them off or they will ruin your shit when your back is turned.
But they are the comedians of the dog world.
3
seriously. they don't cease to amaze us with their antics.
2
I just knew from the title, before I even saw the image, that it was going to be Dachshunds.

Dead puppies aren't much fun

This will not dissuade my wife from wanting one. In fact, this may convince her to want two.

"Give us the money, we know you've hidden it somewhere."

They better have gotten the crate for that one.

awesome!

But they look so innocent...........
Looks can be deceiving............
The cat did it.
Like this.
appropriate username
I swear dogs have evolved that look as they've become more symbiotic with man. Whenever my dogs look that innocent, I start looking for the trouble they got into when I was out.
Well, some dogs have been bred to be cute, so you could say that. It's kind of the bastard child of intelligent design and natural selection.
i think that is a legitimate theory. it definitely benefits dogs to be cuter. in dinosaur times, if the cave puppies ripped up the antique love seat, they would have been beating with clubs.
You don't even need to go back that far, my mother would have done it with a cooking spoon. When you pissed her off, No one was safe from that wooden spoon.
I think almost every child (except ones in the 90s and 00s) has had a parent break a wooden spoon on their ass.
It's more than legitimate, it's the history of dogs.
We've been selecting them based on these traits for over 6,000 years.
This used to be that.
i like how you chose the cutest dog and then the scariest dog. i can see where someone would argue that we have manipulated dogs for our own selfish interests, but i think dogs were totally like "hey, i don't have to walk anymore? [get carried around] SWEEET!"
my dogs are serious weinies (no pun intended), though. they won't go outside if the ground is wet (i just punt them, one by one, outside). if they want something, they just shiver like orphans from a charles dickens novel. totally makes me sick, but i'm responsible...
My dog knows not to take a dump in the house. But sometimes she does.
So when she does, she will jump up and lie on my chest, trying to be as close to me as possible, as if to apologize.
....and so sorry....
