Training Dachshunds
- 22/11/2010
A dachshund - originally developed by German foresters - is an intelligent hound dog with a sturdy and willful personality. Its body is long and legs are short. Other features are a short sleek coat and long drooping ears. Also known as Teckel, Dachshunds exist in three sizes - standard, miniature and toy and can be shorthaired, wired-haired or longhaired.
Typically, dachshunds are independent and stubborn. But they can be transformed into a sociable breed through constant and rewarding training. Training dachshunds requires considerable patience and diligence. Training includes house training and socializing with strangers. Since the dachshund is a hunting breed, it must be properly trained to get along with different types of pets such as cats. Dachshunds also need extensive desensitizing training to overcome their suspicious behavior towards outsiders.
It is always wise to start socialization and training of a dachshund at an early age. Vigorous training is required for adult dachshunds. Dachshunds should be treated as one of your children. As they do not respond to any harsh training method, dachshunds training should always be game oriented and food-based. Eye contact is also important while training dachshunds. And don't forget to praise your dachshund with tasty rewards when he or she performs well. Well-planned exercises coupled with lots of praise can bring amazing changes in dachshunds. A properly trained dachshund can walk on a leash and sit by your side without pulling when you stop walking.
There are numerous training schools that offer comprehensive learning programs for dachshunds. Instructions and tips for training dachshunds can be found from various sources including the Internet. In addition, CDs with info on dachshund training are available in most pet stores.
