Dachshunds have different swimming preferences and not all dogs of this breed enjoy the water. This is due to their close proximity to the ground, with short legs and long bodies, making some dogs more predisposed to finding traditional swimming activities uncomfortable. For others, however, with the right introduction and guidance, swimming can be a fun and enjoyable experience. Owners should consider the individual dog's personality and approach to swimming.

It is generally recommended to spend anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour per day training your Dachshund. During this time you should focus on teaching your pup basic obedience commands such as 'sit', 'stay', 'come' and 'down'. The amount of time you will need to commit each day will increase as your pup learns and masters each task.
