Dachshunds should not be fed chocolate, grapes or raisins because these foods are poisonous to them. Other human foods that should be avoided include onion, garlic, and mushrooms, which can damage their digestive systems and cause vomiting and/or diarrhea. Some people give their dogs table scraps, but this is not recommended if it contains garlic, onion, or any other food item that may not be safe for the dog.

This includes monitoring their weight and regularly checking for body changes or problems that require veterinary attention. Dachshunds also require diligent daily physical and mental exercise to keep them both healthy and content. Proper vaccinations, controlling parasites, and a balanced diet are all additional considerations when caring for a Dachshund.

Dachshunds also have short, stubby legs and long bodies, which contributes to their small stature.
Yes, you can take your Dachshund running, but it is important to consult your vet beforehand to make sure your pup is physically ready to join you on the trails or on the track. Depending on your pup's age, breed, size, and health, it might not be safe to engage in long or difficult runs. Additionally, while running with your pup can be fun, it is important to note that some breeds do not take well to long-distance exercise and can easily suffer from overheating and dehydration.
Dachshunds can be an excellent companion for kids, as they tend to be loyal and possess a strong sense of affection towards their families. Dachshunds are known for being gentle and affectionate, and their small size does not make them intimidating to children. These dogs are spunky and energetic, and most thrive in a busy household with kids. They can also keep up with activities with their human family members, like going on long walks or playing outdoor games.
Training a Dachshund does take commitment and consistency, but it is not necessarily hard. As long as you are patient and willing to put the time and effort into teaching your dog the behaviors needed, you can have a well-behaved pup. It requires a lot of work in the beginning to instill commands, but if you stick with the same schedule of reinforcement, and reward them when they obey, they will start to learn faster. Additionally, staying calm and being firm when correcting any bad behavior is important in order to maintain your desired behaviors in the long-term.
