Dachshunds should also receive regular exercise to strengthen their muscles and keep their spine healthy.

The size of your Dachshund puppy depends on a few different factors. Generally speaking, adult Dachshunds generally range from 8 to 9 inches in shoulder height and weigh 11 to 32 pounds. To be sure that you can tell how big your puppy is going to grow, you can compare its height and weight to breed standards published by kennel clubs. If you know the parents of the puppy, then their size can indicate how big your pup may ultimately become.

They require daily physical activity to stay healthy and happy, but they also need mental stimulation in the form of puzzle toys, obedience and agility training, and activities like fetch. A tired Dachshund is a content Dachshund. As long as you provide your Dachshund the exercise they need, they can be a perfect fit for any active household, since Dachshunds are known for their enthusiasm, loyalty, and intelligence.
Generally, Dachshunds are good with kids and are known for their playful and affectionate personalities. It is important to remember that all dogs require proper training and socialization with children. With that said, many Dachshunds are loving, tolerant, and friendly around kids, and may even share a strong bond with them. However, as with any breed, it is important to closely supervise any interaction between kids and a Dachshund, particularly since the breed is small and can easily be injured.
Training a Dachshund is not necessarily easy, as this breed of dog can be strong-willed and independent. However, with consistent direction and patient training, it can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. It is important to start teaching basic commands from the very beginning, and continue working on those commands throughout the dog's life. Spend quality time with your Dachshund, and be consistent and clear in your expectations for them to follow your commands. Establish a strong bond with your pup to encourage them to be cooperative and follow your verbal cues.
