Dachshunds are an active breed of canine. They are quite energetic and require daily exercise for their overall health and well-being. Although Dachshunds only grow to be short in height, their strong, powerful legs allow them to cover a surprising amount of ground. Many owners often take their Dachshunds on hikes and long walks to burn off excess energy. When given appropriate exercise, Dachshunds make an excellent companion for active pet owners.
Dachshunds, with their playful and friendly personalities, can make for excellent family pets, and they are often great with kids.

With proper socialization, patience, and a firm yet gentle hand when training, Dachshunds can make an excellent companion for kids.
Training a Dachshund is possible but challenging. Most Dachshund owners will find that they need to be patient and consistent with their training efforts to be successful. Since Dachshunds are a strong-willed breed they will take longer to learn obedience skills than some other breeds.
