First, you'll want to gather all the necessary supplies for your pup a food and water bowl, kennel, collar, dog tags, food, treats, brush, and toys. After that, be sure to puppy proof both the interior and exterior of your home. Move any poisonous plants out of reach and cover any open electrical outlets. Also, keep tempting items off the floor and pick up any small items that you wouldn’t want your pup to swallow.

Before starting a running routine with your Dachshund, consider consulting with your veterinarian to determine whether it’s a good option for your pup.
