Basset Hounds for You

Ok…. I give up. I need to crate train this menace ……. I need ALL the tips. She enjoy destroying things…..all things that could mildly inconvenience us….. remotes, pillows, vent covers, anything left on the counter or tables…. Whether we are gone 10 mins or 3 hours. She always manages to get something… I think my only option is a crate, but I don’t want it to be a punishment for her. I want to set her up for success…. She isn’t home alone, as my other dog is home. But that doesn’t seem to matter, she just can’t help but destroy things! So …. It’s either crate or Medicate. I don’t like trazadone as it just knocks her out and I that’s not a good time at all. I’ve heard good things about fluoxetine ….. tell me your experience!!! Can I crate train her? She is 11 months old and 65 lbs of love….. and underlying desire to chew through the world.

Gus is nearly 13 weeks old. Here he is on a peepee pad….husband thinks they will help the situation.

We picked him up at 8 weeks.The breeder was litterbox training him and gave us some of the pellets from his litterbox. She said he will go where you place the pellets. EXCELLENT 👌!!

I’m aware bassets are notoriously stubborn and difficult to train. He knows his name. He plays fetch well. He holds his bladder all night, from 10pm-8am. We go outside and potty and praise and get a treat.

He still pees everywhere inside! He KNOWS we potty outside. Does anyone have any tips or tricks on how to get him to let us know he has to pee? Potty training tips in general?

Hope this is ok to share! I recently started 3D printing dog figures using a commercial license.

My grandparents always had basset hounds so they were one of the first breeds I wanted to try!

Then a short drive around town.

I still can’t believe how much Brucey has grown! The vet think he will end up between 70 and 80lbs!
