Dachshund Dog Training
3/4/2009 1:39:09 AM


Originating in Germany, the Dachshund dog breed has been around for centuries. They were mainly used to hunt badgers and hares ("Dachs" means badger in German). Also referred to as "wiener dogs" and "sausage dogs, the name of the dog is spelled both as Dachshund and Daschund. Dachshund is the correct name.

If you want to put an end to Dachshund  aggression, barking, whining, or biting, I recommend that you take a look at Dachshund Training.

Dachshund training can be a challenge as this breed tends to have a stubborn and very determined personality. This can make them difficult to handle for an inexperienced dog owner.

Dachshunds are boisterous, determined, curious, and amusing dogs that can be quite naughty some times. They require lots of attention. If they don’t receive the attention they need, they will misbehave.

Although they normally get along with children and other animals, an over-indulged dog may be inclined to be jealous, and snappy. Therefore, they are probably a better fit for a family with no small children. Even so, Dachshunds are very devoted, loyal, and affectionate dogs.

A Dachshund that is left on his own may whine until he has company. Separation anxiety is a common problem with Dachshunds, at which time they may relieve their stress by chewing household items. Their body language and personality give the impression that they are unaware of their fairly small size. As with most small hunting dog breeds, Daschunds are bold and will stand their ground with much bigger dogs.

Dachshunds are happy to play indoors which makes them an ideal dog breed for apartment dwellers or for homes with little or no garden. Even so, they are lively, boisterous and playful dogs. It is therefore essential for them to be taken for regular walks to the park in order to get plenty of exercise and fresh air. Many Dachshund behavior problems are due to a lack of good exercise. If a Dachshund is kept indoors for several days without being able to work off his surplus energy, he is likely to act out.

Without regular exercise, Dachshunds can easily gain weight, which could lead to potential health issues related to the heart, spine, or blood sugar. Dachshunds are prone to spinal problems, so care should be taken to avoid exercises that could cause spinal damage. As Dachshunds have weak backs, children must not be allowed to be rough with them.

The first step in your Dachshund training is housetraining which should begin as soon as you bring him home. There are a number of ways to potty train your dog, such as on command, paper training, and crate training. You must be patient and tolerant with your dog, no matter which method of training you use. There will be accidents and you should not expect him to get it right immediately.

As with housetraining, obedience training should also start as soon as you bring your new puppy home. Your Dachshund training sessions should be of short duration but frequent – ideally a maximum of 15 minutes, three to four times each day. It is best to train your puppy before he eats. Similar to humans, dogs feel like resting after eating.

Don't expect your dog to be well-behaved immediately. Training your Dachshund will take plenty of patience due to your dog's stubborn nature. With love and patience, you will have a playful, fun, and devoted pet to enjoy for many years to come.

I strongly recommend Secrets to Dog Training for your Dachshund training. This top notch course has been the top seller for four years in a row!  You should definitely check it out at Daschund Training.
