He basically was trained for his "Momma" or "Dad" to be out there
with him (he prefers exploring without a leash)...but when he's done,
he just stands there, waiting for his "Momma" or "Dad" to let him in; thinking they're still outside...but sometimes, they've had to go back
into the apartment, before "he's done".
They and I are puzzled on how to solve this problem. Is there anything that can be done on this??

Sure. Get another dog. ;)
Nah, they've already decided when this one crosses the rainbow bridge, they're not getting another one. Both have numerous health issues (like me), and it's just too difficult to start with a fresh dog...especially
a dachshund...as they are more stubborn than humans are.
When I was a kid growing up, the lady across the street was a Dachshund breeder. She would keep the best of them to Show, and then sell the others. Anyways, that meant there were always a pile of Daschund
puppies to play with, so it was a blast to go to her place. When I got
a little older she would pay me to walk her dogs to give them exercise.
That was fun too, those long-dogs like to go off on their own.
This couple I know have a spoiled dachshund, and when he hears my voice
on the phone, he starts barking...as if to demand to know WHY I'm not
over there!! <G>
I've heard they also can get back problems? Because of their length or something?
