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.

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.
