Would love to politely ask how any of you get any…alone time…with your significant others. Crying from the bottom of the stairs behind the gate really doesn’t do a great job of setting the mood

It's...it's rough ngl. I've been competing with my little dude for 4 years now for snuggle time with my lady and I have been losing decisively. I can't even be mad though, there's no beating that level of cuteness that is a cuddled up dachshund.

For your issue, i'm not above using a "Treat for time" trade off.

Was gonna say, start crate training / seperation training early to avoid this. A frozen kong ball goes a long way.

Frozen kong was my go to. But yea, early crate training to have them get over separation anxiety is huge. My dachshund was hands down the hardest dog for me to crate and potty train but man it was worth it.
