We just adopted a 1 year old mini daschound and she is struggling with the toilet training as well. I am taking her outside every hour or so and making her stay on the grass. If she does anything I give her lots of cuddles and pats and then bring her back in. We still have some problems and I was about to start a thread about the same thing. Lets see if we can swap ideas and try to get them trained at the same time!
