Generally speaking, a Dachshund should get a minimum of 30 minutes of walking or other forms of exercise each day. If you have an older Dachshund, it may be beneficial to provide more exercise, as it will help keep them active and maintain good muscle and joint health. Too much exercise can put undue stress and strain on a Dachshund's back, so it is important to find a balance between exercise and rest.

Additionally, plan small daily sessions to reinforce lessons and maintain behavioral consistency long-term. Having consistence and patience are also key components needed for successful dog training.
