Everyone who has ever had a dachshund loves this breed of dog.With their neat look and loving personality, dachshunds have become very popular.Dachshunds are alone with having the enlongated body matched with short little legs.Dachshunds have problems that are unique also.Dachshunds have huge personalities even though they are trapped in such small bodies.

Chewing Problem

Dachshunds can be known to have chewing problems.  It is a dachshund’s natural instinct to want to chew and so stopping this behavior can be difficult.Instead of trying to stop the chewing, just have your dachshund chew on something acceptable.Give your dachshund an object that it is allowed to chew on whenever you catch them chewing on something they shouldn’t be.Make sure you let your dachshund know that it is going a good thing once it starts chewing on its toy.

You also don’t want to confuse your dachshund by giving them a toy that is similar to objects they shouldn’t be chewing on.  If you don’t want your dachshund to chew on your clothing, don’t give them an old rag to play with.If you want to your dachshund to not chew on toys, don’t give them anything that looks like your childs toys.  To learn more about stopping chewing, check out my article on dachshund chewing.  With these simple steps, chewing should not be a problem for your dachshund.

The Worrier

Dachshunds can be prone to worrying.  The problem with this is all that anxiety can cause your dachshund to act out.  Worrying can be caused whenever you leave your dachshund alone.Typically dogs stay together and so when you leave, it can cause them to start to stress.To stop this behavior you have to demonstrate that your dachshund does not need to have anxiety when you leave. 

To do this, start by just walking to the door, pausing, and then walking away.Try to keep doing this over and over again until your dachshund stops worrying.Go outside this time and then come back inside.If you do this action over and over again, you dachshund will stop worrying everytime you do it.As you do this, you can increase the amount of time you are gone without your dachshund having anxiety.Along with this advise, it is also a good idea to crate train your dachshund.  To learn more about dachshund anxiety, see this article on dachshund anxiety.
