How to Train a Dachshund

Dachshund training focus: ① Socialization training: As a family companion dog, you need to teach your dog how to properly interact with dogs and people. This avoids timidity, cowardice, or aggressive behavior due to lack of proper social skills. Before the dog is 4 months old, let it play and interact as early as possible with friendly and gentle dogs and humans.

② Self-control training: Teach the dog self-restraint. Improve obedience so that the dachshund follows commands strictly and listens better. Teach the dog to learn commands for waiting and prohibition from an early age. Understand what can be done, what cannot be done, and when something should be done.

③ Ability to be alone training: Teach the dog how to properly spend alone time, so it no longer tears up the house or barks to disturb neighbors due to lack of exercise.

Prepare a space for the dog to be alone (crate or airline kennel), suitable chew bones and toys for alone time. When you go out, let them stay in their own space and give them the toys or chew bones you prepared. Help them pass the boring alone time and expend pent-up energy.

 ④ Key subject selection: Dachshund behaviors such as aggression, timidity, barking disturbances, and tearing the house are caused by insufficient socialization, hunting dog nature, or lack of daily required exercise. Therefore, regarding the dachshund’s characteristics, as a family companion dog, the recommended key training subjects are: juvenile socialization training, wait, prohibition, crate training, and other obedience subjects.
