Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a versatile and beloved breed of dog. They are lively and tenacious, and can make an excellent companion. Despite being a small breed, they have a lot of energy, and need exercise and attention. They are friendly, intelligent, and can be trained easily with a consistent approach. They do not do well in hot weather, and should always have a cool place to rest during the summer. Dachshunds have a high prey drive, and should be kept on a leash when outdoors. They also drool and shed, requiring regular grooming.
Dachshunds are not necessarily responsible for causing allergies in people since they don't trigger a reaction in everyone. Depending on the individual, their reactions to a particular animal may vary. Some may be highly allergic to certain breeds and not others, while some may not show any signs of allergies at all. If you are unsure about your susceptibility to pet allergies, it is best to consult with an allergist before bringing a pet into your home. Allergies can be managed with the right medications and steps taken to reduce exposure.
Dachshunds are generally sensitive to dietary changes and should not be fed human food, table scraps, or excess treats. Foods that are high in fat, such as chips, candy, a large variety of nuts, rice cakes, hot dogs, and rawhide chews, should not be given to a Dachshund as they may cause indigestion, pancreatitis, obesity, or other medical conditions. Additionally, Dachshunds should avoid bones, onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, yeast doughs, and alcoholic beverages.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund starts with researching the breed and understanding its needs. Knowing about the breed will help you provide the best care for your pup. It is important to provide adequate exercise for your Dachshund. Providing the right amount of exercise and walks, an appropriate diet, and an enriched environment, with play and activities, is essential for a healthy and happy pup. Additionally, proper training is essential. Start socializing your pup early and consider enrolling in a puppy training class.
No, Dachshunds are not typically considered large dogs. They are a small to medium-sized breed that usually weighs between sixteen to thirty-two pounds, depending on their variation. They can range from eight to nine inches tall. Dachshunds are an energetic and active breed, and while they are considered small to medium in size, they are often willing to take on big dog-sizing tasks, such as light hauling, retrieving and tracking, as long as they are trained properly.
Absolutely! With the proper precautions and safety measures in place, running with your Dachshund can be an enjoyable and healthy activity for both you and your pup! However, due to the breed's small size and delicate structure, safety should always be your top priority. Before running, take your pup to the vet for an assessment of their overall health, and make sure to research your local running guidelines. You'll also want to make sure that the temperature isn't too hot, as that could cause your pup to overheat.
Dachshunds have the potential to make wonderful family pets, and can indeed get along with kids when given proper training and socialization. Most Dachshunds have friendly personalities and can quickly form strong bonds with their human caregivers and the kids in the family. As with any dog breed, it is important to make sure that you supervise children while interacting with your pet Dachshund to ensure that the dog is not startled or uncomfortable. Teach children to be gentle and respectful to your pooch, and your Dachshund will be a great addition to your family.
Training your Dachshund requires consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. Begin by teaching basic commands like “sit”, “stay”, and “come." Start with simple commands and progress to more complicated ones as your Dachshund learns. You should use treats or verbal praise to reward proper responses, and avoid punishment or shouting as it can unsettle your pet. Short, frequent training sessions will help your Dachshund learn better than extended sessions, so try to work on commands for no more than fifteen minutes at a time multiple days a week.
