Dachshunds are generally not natural swimmers, and some may even be uncomfortable around large bodies of water. While some Dachshunds are known to enjoy splashing around in the pool or lake, it is important to take precautions, such as having them wear a doggie-life vest, when doing so. Even then, it is best to introduce them to the water slowly and use positive reinforcement at every step.
Dachshunds can typically get along with other animals, as long as they are socialized early and often. Generally, Dachshunds are very pleased to be around other pets, as long as those pets don't present a danger to them.
