The key to all dog training is the three P’S

Dachshund training - skill and education areas:
By starting puppy training early we mean as soon as your puppy arrives home, handling, cuddling talking to your puppy is the beginning. Socialize your puppy with a variety of people and other animals is so important in the first weeks. Noises and a variety of situations, the more the better.
Establishing a successful toilet training program for your dachshund is a much about your commitment which adds to your dog’s success rate. Establishing good routines, making sure access to toilet area is easy for your puppy. Plenty of praise and rewards are all part of the deal. Some owners find using a crate for your puppy makes toilet training easier but this decision is up to you.
Some dachshund owners find using a crate as a safe secure place for their puppy, when you are not able to offer your puppy the supervision required. Also it can be useful when carrying out your toilet training program. The crate gives the puppy a warm, comfortable home that is his alone.
Basic obedience training is an important part of you and your dog’s partnership. The trust that develops between owner and dog when you work as a team, you give the commands and your dog shows he can please you with the correct responses. Having control of your dog is not only a safety issue it makes life for you both more enjoyable.
Lead Training needs to start early, ensure you have a comfortable well-fitting collar or harness. Start this training in a familiar area, perhaps even start inside the house, then move into the back garden. When you think you are ready for the street, try to choose a quiet area without too many distractions for your puppy.
