Dachshund is a small hunting dog, very active and loving. Dachshunds do not like loneliness, so they are advised to get people living in a large family. Because of their size, they have become ideal flat dogs, and their fine wool makes it easier to care for them.
Training dachshunds, as well as other breeds of dogs, must be conducted consistently. This is the main requirement, because Dachshunds are smart enough, cunning and capricious, despite their size.
Dachshunds are genetically tuned to people with suspicion and distrust, so when they are trained independently you need to decide whether you want to hide this quality or develop it. Just want to warn you that the guard dog from the dachshund will not work anyway.
Start…
Training dachshunds at home should be conducted consistently, constantly and patiently:
- It is very important that the voice command be sounded before any impact. For example, when teaching the "Place" command, you must first say the command, and then take or beckon the puppy to the place. Also with all other teams.
- All commands must be pronounced strictly, clearly and clearly. Dachshunds are cunning animals, therefore, having felt the slack in their leader, they will take advantage of this!
- Training dachshund puppies can and should be done "for a treat". Show the puppy that you have something tasty, demand from it the execution of the team, and then by all means praise "yummy" and word-markers.
A word-marker is praise of a puppy. Choose one or two such words, so that the dog understands that the pronunciation of these words means that she did everything right.
Working with junior
As a rule, by 6-7 months a puppy of any breed should know the basic commands : "To me", "Place", "To sit", "To lie down", "To stand" and "It is impossible". And from the age of six months, the more serious dog training begins.
When working with a teenager, you need to remember that the behavior of your pet will remind you very much of the behavior of a harmful 15-year-old. During this period, the dog will begin to think that it is the most intelligent, because it performs your commands, and you certainly praise it!
In the Dachshund, the peculiarity of the period consists in trying to escape for a short distance, the appearance of deafness to the commands, ignoring the commands.
When training dachshunds, be sure to consider these points. Never scold a junior if he did not come to you for a very long time, and then he came up. Never take away a fee for nothing from the company of her dog-friends, let her play, then call and give "yummy," and then go home.
