Generally, standard size Dachshunds live a longer life than miniature ones, however both sizes typically live from 15-20 years.
The amount of walking required for your Dachshund really depends on their age, health, and energy level. Generally speaking, for a healthy adult dog, 30 minutes of walking per day is a good start. You can break it up into two 15-minute walks, or one 30-minute walk. If your Dachshund is a puppy still growing, or a senior age dog, they may need a little less or a little more walking. Of course, individual dogs may have different needs and some may need more or less time walking.
Dachshunds do tend to get along with other pets, although it really depends on the circumstance. It is a good idea to begin slowly socializing them at an early age so they can become comfortable with other animals. They typically do best when that interaction is controlled and supervised. With patience and consistency, Dachshunds can become very friendly towards other pets in the home. However, they may take a while to warm up and sometimes will show signs of fear or aggression towards them. It is therefore important to pay close attention to any situations that could stir up these behaviors.
Training a Dachshund to adhere to basic commands can be both a fun and rewarding activity. The best approach is to start with simple commands like "sit" and "stay" and then increase the difficulty as your pup masters each command. Positive reinforcement is key; reward your pup with treats and affection when he or she successfully completes tasks. As your pup begins to understand basic commands, you can then move on to more challenging activities such as walking on a leash, obedience games, agility, and tricks.
