Dachshunds are cute, loyal, loving and highly intelligent - but they can also be quite vocal! As a professional dog trainer, the #1 request Dachshund owners come to me with is to stop the incessant barking habits their dogs have. Once this behavior gets ingrained, it takes consistency and the right approach to teach your dog to quiet down. Today I will share my best tips for addressing excessive barking, so that you can get your Dachshund to stay calm.

Just like any other dog breed, Dachshunds are more prone to certain health issues and less prone to others. Some things are less preventable due to genetics, while others can be prevented (or at least reduced) with proper diet and lifestyle.

Educating yourself about how to recognise these health issues early can greatly improve your Dachshund’s prognosis and quality of life. And, even more importantly, being more aware will also equip you with the knowledge you need to help prevent these health issues or at least keep symptoms to a minimum.
