Lol I always get such a kick out of people that make Ceasar Milan a god in the dog training world. Nobody can train a dog in a week let alone a couple of days. Yes if you drastically change your reaction it will for awhile change the dogs.
Dauschounds can be a timid breed, which is irionic when in later days they were bred to be ratters. Over time certain behaviour traits have been bred in as the look/size became more important.
Number one : what do you do when the dog bares it's teeth and growls? What is your reaction to the dog soiling in the house? Dogs do not do things to "piss us off" like some people think. Dogs were scavengers once, and humans used that trait to get them to work for their food and shelter and safety. They are different now, but still look to us for these things.
The barking/nipping is usually something done out of fear. Think fight or flight. Your dog has chosen fight. I'm sure though if there was a real danger he/she would run. Honestly the best thing is to find some training classes and work in set scenarios first.
