To do this, it is recommended to bathe your dog regularly to reduce the amount of dander and other potential allergens on its fur.

Foods with high salt or preservatives, such as salami, should also be avoided. Any small, hard objects, such as raw bones, can cause intestinal obstruction. Additionally, avoid feeding your Dachshund table scraps as they can get upset stomachs.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is important to have the essentials for thriving in their new environment. Firstly, it's important to make sure that you have a safe area for your Dachshund to stay. You should purchase a crate or a room divider to help ensure that your Dachshund can have a safe haven that is just their own.

Absolutely! Dachshunds are an active, energetic breed of dog and can easily accompany you out for a run. But you should talk to your vet first to get their specific advice, as running is an intensive exercise for a dog. Some recommendations for dachshunds include taking shorter runs than for larger breeds, allowing for plenty of rest periods, and avoiding extreme temperatures or over-strenuous activity. Additionally, be sure to choose the right running gear and harness for your pup, such as a well-fitting collar, leash, and vest.
Generally, the Dachshund breed is quite friendly and making good companions when raised around children. As with every dog, they should always be supervised while in the company of children, as they may become frightened and start to nip or bark. Dachshunds are amazingly tolerant and active dogs, and with proper socialization and training, they can be taught to be very gentle, patient, and loyal around kids. Giving regular attention and direction to these small dogs will certainly help them get used to children and cultivate a good relationship.
Training a Dachshund certainly can be easy, but it also depends upon the individual pup and the level of commitment from the pet parent. Generally, this breed of dog is considered to be fairly intelligent with an abiding love of pleasing their owners, making them willing learners. To start, owners should consider positive reinforcement, such as praise and treats, to reward learned behaviors and help the pup form good habits.
