Daschund V. Cocker/poodle

Filed under Care & Training Q&As
So I have these 3 dogs, but the problem resides in that the daschund and the cockapoo are aggressive to each other to the point were just making eye contact initiates a ‘fight’ (the cockapoo from inside and the daschund from the outside) i wondered from time to time if the daschund ‘feels’ preferential treatment towards the cockapoo because he’s inside? i really dont have a clue as what method to use to train them to not fight amongst them, i’ve watched cesar millan, people say he’s a professional dont try his methods etc
well anyways, i don’t get all nervous when they do ‘fight’ or start barking, i usually just hush them, but it seems not to work at all
maybe they need exercise (how much for a cockapoo and how much for a daschund?) or maybe they do need to have a pack leader (me, not like im not respected by them)
im confused and need some help, anyone?

You should teach that daschund to respect the cockapoo
Why is the Dachshund outside? They aren’t really outdoor dogs. Move him indoors, walk them both at least two half-hour walks each day, play with them equally, have them neutered if they aren’t already, and then take them to obedience classes.
Take them to dog obeidiance classes.
And about Cesar Millan I wouldn’t let that man near my kids, or as you guys know them, dogs.
Obedience classes, and have them both fixed.
Well it could be that the daschund doesn’t feel like he is getting enough attention from you. Is he an outside dog? That’s how you make it sound. My puppy hates when I give more attention to the other pets in the house and will start fights with them because of it. You need to give both dogs equal attention. If possible, you should let them both be inside, especially since daschunds aren’t really an outside dog anyways.
ETA:
Daschunds weren’t bred to be outdoors. They were bred to hunt badgers and then go back home. They are a small breed though not in the toy group. It’s cruel to him to keep him outside especially since he knows another dog lives inside. That is probably the biggest reason he starts ‘fights’ with the mixed breed. Daschunds are very devoted to their owners and he probably just wants to be with you. “They are generally okay with other pets, however, they can be jealous, irritable, obstinate and very quick to bite.” And btw some of us treat our animals like they are part of our family. My puppy is like my child in that I always give him the best food and the best things a dog could have. I don’t have a water purifier or anything like that for him but he is a member of my family and is never kept outside without me there with him.
