The amount of walking a Dachshund should receive per day depends largely on its age, overall health, and energy level. Generally, about 20-30 minutes of daily exercise is recommended for adult Dachshunds, while puppies should be limited to 10-15 minutes until they reach adulthood. However, since Dachshunds are playful and active, they may sometimes require additional exercise each day. Depending on the individual dog's needs, it is important to find a healthy balance between enough exercise and resting to keep your pet happy and healthy.
