...are female dachshunds more difficult to house train? Has anyone successfully trained a dachshund to come on command regardless of circumstances? I ask these because Maisy is by FAR harder to house train than ANY of the boys were. And also because I have never been able to get any of my dachshunds to come back if they made it outside off leash. I have to bribe and eventually trap them in a corner somehow.

The only dachshund in my family to come on command when outside is Jesse, my daughter's dachshund. And I think that's because with his vision impairment he is too scared to be away from his people.
