I have a 2 months old male daschund.He is not being able to learn toilet training and he ends up messing my home.He is 24*7 hungry. I feed him 5 times a day. 3 times with cerelac(3 spoons) n pedigree(1 spoon)and 2 times with 5 spoons of milk n 3 spoons water.Is iit insufficient? He bites a lot evenb if its for fun.

Cerlac? Is this human food, If it is stop feeding this to your puppy. He needs puppy food not human food he is too little for it, also if you are giving him cows milk please stop this as well. Go buy him a good quality puppy food and feed him at least 2 times per day. Read the bag. I have never had a puppy so I am not sure how often a 2 month old should eat. I do know that 1 spoon of pedigree is not going to help him maybe if you add it to some dry puppy food it will keep him from being hungry. Tomorrow puppy people will be on here, it is late now not many people are online.. But for tonight get him some dry puppy food.

You may as well stick with the Pedigree. Over the course of a week, phase out everything else and cut back to 3 meals a day for another month. You can then cut back to 2 meals a day, and then one at 6 months. Evaluate him using LongLiveYourDog.com - Life Span Study - Rate Your Dog Adjust his food as needed to keep him in good shape. Don't let his appetite lead you to over feeding him. Dachshunds have enough back trouble without being overweight. Keep him lean and he will have a longer, more active life. Feeding a commercial dog chow and little else is the best way to make he is getting a complete and balanced diet. Larger breeds are best switched to adult feed at 4 months to slow growth and help their joints. Perhaps a good idea for back trouble prone Dachshunds. Labs are known for their insatiable appetites. You just have to let them be hungry.

Young Labs, which I know best, and other puppies tend to very bad about
Biting. You see a litter of them, and all the ones that are awake are biting
Another one or themselves. I am not even sure they realize that when they are
Alone, if they quit biting, they would quit being bitten. At 3 to 4 months
They are getting their adult teeth, and it seems they spend every waking
Moment biting or chewing. One thing you can do at that stage is to knot and wet a piece of cloth. Then freeze it. The cooling will soothe the gums. Only let the puppy have it when you are there to watch it. I maintain a Lab's favorite chew toy is another Lab. Otherwise they settle for any person they can. They keep hoping to fin done that won't yelp, jerk their hand away, and leave.

You just have to keep on correcting them, hundreds of times, not dozens.
Provide sturdy, safe toys such as Kongs and Nylabones. Avoid things they can
Chew pieces off and choke on them. Keep them away from electrical cords.
Crates are essential for most young Labs and other dogs.

The pet stores are full of toys that many dogs will quickly chew up into
Pieces they could choke on or cause intestinal blockages. If you are not
There to watch, stick to sturdy stuff such as Nylabones and Kongs. Keep a
Close eye on chew toys and quickly discard anything that is coming apart in
Pieces. Rawhide is especially bad because it swells after being swallowed.
I don't trust any of the consumable chews. The dogs just gnaw them down to a
Dangerous size too quickly. These problems are the worst with, but not
Limited to, large, aggressive chewers such as Labs.
