Hello faygo217. Welcome to pets.ca .
Sounds like your pup is suffering from separation anxiety. Is this a recent new behavior? I suggest you peruse the Dog training - dog behavior forum here. There are many threads on the same subject. http://www.pets.ca/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=3 If you still have some questions or need other ideas, don't hesitate to start a new thread in that forum; lots of members who have experienced the same problems who would be more than happy to help you out.

Have you had your Dachshund since he was a puppy or has he been recently adopted? You mention new neighbours. Are they possibly making noises that he is not accustomed to and he is protecting his turf by barking? Could someone perhaps be banging on windows etc/ Did he bark incessantly when you were out prior to your move? I have had 5 mini Dachshunds - 2 were extremely Alpha, but only barked when they felt the need to defend their turf - or Mommy. (We did have a problem though with a couple of neighbourhood kids banging on the window to get our major guy barking - they were little brats from the word go. Dachshunds are very stubborn - and of course like to howl and bark - so I would try to figure out reason for this behaviour if it is new and go from there (and rule out any possible health problem - and as you probably know there are a few that immediately leap to mind).

Welcome to the board, faygo217. I hope you figure out what's going on with your doxie soon.
Meanwhile, if you have some pictures to share, we'd love to see them!

still need help
i have had snuggles since she was 3 days old. her mother broke her back delivering 5 pups. i took care of all of them till they were ready to leave and was given my choice of pups, called my husband and he came and picked up each one. the last one he picked up was her, she climbed up to his neck and wrapped around it, hence her name snuggles. she has been with me 24/7 most of the time except when i was in the hospital , iam handicapped. they tell me she cried alot when i was gone but she was never alone. we moved to floridia from michigan december 1 2007. now every time we leave she howls the whole time we are gone, new neighbors do not like this. we have tried leaving the tv on. she has access to go out side to a screened area while we are gone. how do i stop the howling, i cant take her with me to dr or shopping, and she can not stay in the car. HELP, i love her and do not want to have to give her up. the trailer park that we have to do something or move
