The No.1 Dachshund Bestseller! FIVE STARS from 4 out of 5 owners. "This book is an excellent resource for anyone who is looking to purchase or rescue their first or fourth Dachshund.

With lots of tips & tricks from some of the most knowledgeable people in the dachshund world, I’ve found this really useful to help me understand my pup & give him everything he needs to become a very well-behaved little dog!” FREYA, UK Recommended by The Dachshund Breed Council Health Committee. No other dogs are quite like Dachshunds. They are clever, brave, curious, incredibly loyal, affectionate, lively, full of their own importance - & lots of FUN! They are also typical hounds, so can be a bit stubborn & slow to housetrain. If not properly raised, some can become too fond of the sound of their own bark. The trick is to persuade them that what YOU want them to do is actually what THEY want to do! Dachshund-Specific Training Techniques: Professional dog trainer & Dachshund breeder Lisa Cole helps you teach your Dachshund The Recall & other commands, & how to stop unwanted behaviour like too much barking or digging.
