We recently got a healthy, happy cocker spaniel who had a brief career (few months) in the show dog ring and are surprised that while he does his business on morning and evening walks, he has less control in and around the house throughout day. We'd like him to do in designated area. We've tried the special gravel, pads, crating (at night). We think he was kept in garage kennel with his former original owner who raises lots of show dogs. Not sure how that childhood plays into current situation.

Answer
I think you would train him similar to a puppy. Take him out the same door (on a leash to start) and take him to the same spot everytime. In a corner or something an area about 5ft x 5ft and command them to go potty. When they do reward them by saying their name and how good they are. The bigger fuss you make means more reinforcement for the dog. If he does not go in that area w/i 10 mins, than bring him back in and try again in 10-15 minutes. It is gonna take a little time and work, but it can be done. You can also try the Pee Post from Petco. It works on the same principle except that you put a yellow pheromone treated post in the center of your imaginary box.

What is the difference in kennel clubs?

I'm a dog lover trying to figure this out! I've heard of akc ckc etc. but I don't understand them. I'm wanting to eventually show a dachshund and maybe if she passes all health and fitness and maybe win a show or two breed her bit only if she passes requirements. But I need help understanding all the kennel clubs. Like what are differences how are they connected or what ever also tips on training a show dog and also how do I pick out a show quality dog?

Answer
You've posted from the US site, so you need a dog that's eligible to show conformation in the AKC. A Canadian born dog that's registered with the Canadian Kennel Club can be registered with the AKC and then shown.

The CONtinental Kennel Club is a con. It's for backyard breeders and puppy mills. Pups that only have ConKC papers are not eligible for AKC registration or AKC conformation events.

If you are looking to get involved in showing, then you need to start here: http://dachshund-dca.org/ It can put you in touch with local clubs/groups and local showing breeders.
