Happy National Dachshund Day! ❤️

Sometimes I have to pinch myself that this is my job.

At 13, I was obsessed with dachshunds. Now, at 33, I have two of my own and get to help dachshund owners around the world build happier lives with theirs.

What started as a childhood obsession became a career (and still and obsession 😂) and I’m so grateful for every sausage dog (and owner!) who’s been part of the journey.

Here’s to the dogs with the biggest personalities packed into the smallest bodies. 🌭🐾

COMMENT “struggling” if you’re struggling with your reactive dachshund.

There was a time I felt I’d never achieve the life I wanted with Milo because of his reactivity. I doubted whether he would always be like this, but I did everything to learn how I can help him.

So much so, I ended up becoming a certified dog trainer! Funny how life offers you unexpected paths.

Don’t lose hope. You can have that life you wanted with your dachshund. You just need to know how ❤️

Anyone else’s dachshund do this?

Some people get their dog waiting in a sit for their food but I couldn’t possibly! How could I miss this cute dinner dance?

Dachshunds are CUTE that is no lie. BUT these dogs were bred to hunt. They are not lap dogs and should be treated like the scent hound they are.

When their needs aren’t met and they don’t get outlets to do what they were bred to do. They become restless, frustrated and loud.

I see a lot of these kind of posts from people

Basically saying dogs need more off lead time and they can’t possibly be fulfilled being on a lead.

But that’s not the reality for a lot of dog owners living with a reactive dog. Long lines are a way to keep everyone safe and they are a fantastic training tool.

So don’t ever feel bad for using a long line. You’re being a responsible dog owner ❤️

Do you use long lines?

3 steps we took to achieve this

Walking equipment - we changed the picture of the walking equipment going on. Walking equipment didn’t necessarily mean a walk was going to happen

Built skills - we built skills inside the home so Frank responded well to a marker word and owners could get focus

Slowed down the process - we took our time around the front door and rewarded calm behaviour

Don’t skip this part because if your dog is leaving the front door in a high arousal state, then your walk isn’t going to be calm.

One of the most common mistakes I see dachshund owners make on walks:

Their dog starts showing signs they’re uncomfortable, or the owner spots a potential trigger and braces for a reaction…

So they immediately rush their dog away from the situation.

Sometimes that’s absolutely the right call. Safety always comes first.

But often, you’ve just walked away from a valuable training opportunity.

Instead of avoiding the situation altogether, find a distance where your dog can notice it without becoming overwhelmed.

Then let them observe.

Reward calm behaviour. Let them take information in. Help them learn that the world isn’t as scary as they think it is.

The goal isn’t to avoid every trigger your dog encounters.

It’s to teach them how to cope with them.

And over time, that’s how confidence is built.

Follow along if your dachshund gets anxious on walks and you’d like more practical training tips. 🐾

What comments have you had this week?

The long lead one was a new one for me! I get the “ohhh bet he can’t go far” ALLLLL the time.

How small would the lead need to be if it was the same size as him? Noooooo 😂😂

Comment “walks” if you’d like to make what seems like the impossible possible!

How has your dachshund coped in this heat wave? 🥵
