Dachshunds are considered a small to medium-sized breed by the AKC. While they may have long bodies, their average height of 8-9 inches and weight of 16-32 pounds keeps them in the "small dog" category. Dachshunds have surprisingly big personalities and plenty of energy; they make wonderful companions despite their small size. They are very affectionate and make excellent family pets, as long as their owners understand their particular needs and give them plenty of exercise and attention.
While most dog breeds can handle running, small breeds like Dachshunds are at a higher risk due to their delicate body structure. Smaller dogs are more prone to orthopedic issues and thus owners should be mindful of their pet's physical limitations when taking them on any kind of strenuous activities like running. Before deciding to take your dog running, it is best to consult with your veterinarian to ensure that your Dachshund has the capacity to tolerate exercise of that nature and obtain any related advice or suggestions.

Dachshunds also have an active nature, so they need regular exercise and playtime.
Training a Dachshund can vary in difficulty, depending on the individual animal and the methods used.

Most importantly, it’s important to be consistent with your training sessions, and to reward good behaviour with treats and lots of love. It’s also important to remain patient and kind, as establishing a bond of trust and respect is key to successful training.
