I have learned that if I go potty in the right place, I get a cookie. :apls:
On another board I participate in, not dachsie related, we started a thread like this: Everything I know, I learned from....
I thought it would be fun to bring it over here as well. Be as silly as you want to be or serious but remember to HAVE FUN.
Ignore your superiors until they bribe you with a good enough reward.
Cute idea Sandi!
The right L@@K will get you almost anything
If you are noisy enough, long enough, some one will give you what you want so you will shut up! :wink:
I have learned that licking someones face in the middle of the night will get them up and out of bed every time!
If nothing you do seems to get anyone's attention, start making gacking noises.
If I hide under a blanket, no one will see me and I can stay in bed all day!
I also learned that almost anything is edible if you don't chew...just swallow...
Having a long nose can come in handy when you are trying to steal a drink from someone's ice tea glass.
What unconditional love really is.... :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:
That when you yap, yap, yap BUT don't look at mama.....she won't know it is you yapping !!!! :funnyup:
Love,
Brandy
(Baby girl is TOO funny - when she gets on a barking streak, she will not look at me and no matter how many times I tell her to hush up....she just keeps on barking and not looking at me........guess she thinks I won't know it is her...makes me laugh every time !)

I second that ! (http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/studsmatta.gif) (http://www.millan.net)
I'm loving this Sandi. If we get everyone (or almost eveyone) to join in, I will make up a page, make it look pretty, and mail it out to all of our members. I'll do it even if we don't have everyone, but a lot of them would be great. Of course, I'll give credit to the puppers! This is better than anything you can find online! So far, I agree with ALL of them and Schatzi has tried them all.
If you're not getting what you REALLY want for supper, create a distraction and then when no one is looking, climb a chair and bury your head in the spaghetti bowl.
This little lesson brought to you by Dolly the Grub :grin:
When mama's dancing around the house, have fun and act silly. But when she's sad and quiet, it's time to sit still and be very good.
:hello2: If you stare long enough someone will give you a snack

Ear flaps in the night guarantee that mum will take you out, and da heeby geebys will not get you then.
If I roll in the grass/dead leaves, I get a nice brushing.
If I bang on the kitchen cabinets loud enough, I get a cookie.
While my supper is being made, if I bark loud and fast enough, I get my bowl faster.
When left alone, if I get in the trash and shred as much as I can, I get to watch mom and dad on their hands and knees, cleaning it up. (thankfully, it's just paper because the kitchen trash is out of her reach).

OR...if I lay with my head against the cabinet door really cute lol.
I have learned that if you follow someone elses mood, you make them feel better.
And sometimes it isn't so bad to get dead earthworms in your hair.
Sticking together won't get us in trouble because Mummie and Daddy won't ever know which one of us actually made the mess
Just lying there and looking real cute will get you lots of lovin'!
"Sitting Pretty" gets you food from absolutely anybody....not just any food....REALLY GOOD food!

OK, I'm kinda weird, but this is my fav so far. (We ALL know how cute dacshies are when they are training us to do their bidding.)
Clifford's would be: If I occaisionally poop on the floor during the night, Dad will then get out of bed whenever I want and let me go outside to bark at the moon.
If I get far enough away, I'm out of ear shot, and can't hear mom yelling "Willy, get back here!"
However, the words "wanna treat?" always comes through loud and clear.
(Willy suddenly gets deaf when we go for a no-leash walk on our forty.)
Fritz-Angel says, "If they scold you for bad behavior, get revenge and pee on their shoe!"
If I bark nonstop, Mom will squirt me with the water hose!! I love it!!!
If I do something naughty, I all have to do is look at her with undying love. I don't get in trouble then....................Weeeeeeeeeeeee

I thought I would bring this back to the top and see if there are any others to add. If not, I'm going to see if I can create a neat looking page of all of the things we've learned that I can print and mail out. Get your thinking caps on and see if there are anymore. Hallie may have taught Dee Dee something in the last week or two!
I have learned that if I whine and act like a drama queen, someone will think I'm really sick and take me to the doctor's.
That if you really want something, sit up like a gentleman and then if that doesn't work, take your front paw(s) and slap Mom on the leg ...and if that doesn't work, give the L@@K and be sure to show the whites of your eyes......works everytime.
Ginger says, "if I bark at nothing, my ding a ling brother Coal will run to the door to get out, and I get to stay in and get all Mom's lovins to myself!" or "steal his toy for myself"
She just prances around so proud of herself everytime, cracks us up!!
Gretl-Angel says, "If your sister (or brudder) is sitting on or next to Mom, and that's where you want to be, run to the door and bark ferociously, so s/he will get up to check it out, and then you get the spot!" Gretl used to smirk every time she did this!
That when you're happy to see someone, never hold back; show them you're REALLY happy! Bounce around their feet (even as they're walking) and wag your tail until they kneel down to greet you back.
If I grunt in the night I will get more room in the bed.
*this is classic with Modem and Molly if you take too much room or heaven forbid bump them they will let out a loud grunt and
pretty much ask you to move over...which I do because I don't want to squish them in bed. LOL
Dolly here. I like that GRUNTING rule. Here's another one. If you stretch your four feet out in just the right direction, you get more room in da big bed and if you really stretch, you can push da hooman right onto da floor. Maddie, all ten pounds of her, really did dis once. She pushed papa right out of bed.
If your on a walk with lots of scents take your time to enjoy it
*Modem and Molly really love flowers and fresh smells, this was evident again when we went to Montana and Wyoming
and the doglets were enjoying smells of pine trees, ferns and flowers.
if ya worm dance with your hooman in the room then you'll get belly rubs :wink:
