Yes, Dachshunds are active dogs, although the type and amount of activity depends on the individual dog's age, breed of Dachshund, and overall health. Dachshunds are relatively small and have short legs; therefore, they require less exercise than bigger breeds. Despite their size, Dachshunds will need regular walks, opportunities for play, and possibly agility training if they are particularly active. Additionally, Dachshunds respond well to reward-based training, which encourages them to do more exercise.
Dachshunds can certainly get along with other pets in the home, but it does depend on their individual temperament. Generally speaking, Dachshunds can be socialized to welcome and get along with other animals like cats, rabbits, and other small mammals quite well. However, if they were exposed to other animals from a young age, they may be more likely to get along with them. That being said, it is also important to note that Dachshunds tend to be territorial and can be leery of unfamiliar creatures in their space.
The amount of time needed to train a Dachshund varies based on the individual dog, its learning abilities, and its age. Generally, daily exercises should be done for 10 to 15 minutes two to three times a day. However, if your Dachshund needs more individualized attention due to age or a lack of obedience, extra exercises should be done for 25 to 30 minutes four to five days a week. Additionally, consistent reinforcement of training is important and is something that should be incorporated into your daily routine.
