5 Reasons Dachshund Owners Swear By This Guide (+ 1 Bonus Tip)
The big bark, the slow toilet training, the "stubborn" streak and that precious long back. Why more Dachshund owners are swapping generic tips for a guide written just for their breed.
If you share your home with a Dachshund, you'll know they're a big dog in a small body. The bark could wake the street. Toilet training seems to go backwards every time it rains. They'll happily ignore a command they know perfectly well, and you worry every time they leap off the sofa.
None of this means your Dachshund is naughty. Dachshunds were bred to hunt badgers underground, alone, with no one to tell them what to do. Of course they make their own decisions; that's the job they were built for.
That's why so many owners are turning to The Complete Dachshund Collection: 7 step-by-step guides written only for Dachshunds. Here's why it's working for them.
1 It's written for Dachshunds, not "dogs in general"
Dachshunds were bred in Germany to follow scent into tunnels and face a badger on their own. They needed courage, independence and a loud voice so the hunter could find them.
That history explains the "stubborn" streak, the barking and the determination. It also explains why generic, do-as-you're-told training so often falls flat with them.
Every guide in the collection starts with the hunter behind the behaviour, then shows you how to make working with you more rewarding than working alone.
2 Toilet training that finally clicks
Dachshunds are known for being slow to toilet train. Low to the ground, not keen on wet grass and very good at finding a quiet corner indoors.
The Toilet Training and Barking Reset gives you a clear daily routine, how to make going outside more appealing in bad weather, and how to clean up accidents properly so they don't become a habit.
There's no punishment involved, just consistency, good timing and plenty of praise. It's the guide many owners say they wish they'd had from day one.
3 A quieter home
That big bark was a job requirement underground. In a modern home, it's aimed at the postman, next door's cat and every leaf that blows past the window.
The Dachshund Barking Fix shows you how to reduce the triggers, how to teach a simple "thank you, that's enough" routine, and why shouting back only makes your Dachshund think you're joining in.
It's calm, kind and built for a breed that was born to speak up.

4 Everyday back care
Those long backs are precious, and everyday habits make a real difference to how comfortable your Dachshund stays as they get older.
The Dachshund Back Care Guide covers ramps and steps for sofas and beds, fewer jumps off furniture, how to pick up and carry your Dachshund properly, and why keeping them at a healthy weight matters so much.
It's practical, everyday care. (Your vet is always the first call for anything back-related, and straight away if your Dachshund seems in pain or wobbly.)
5 Puppy to grown-up, all in one collection
Whether you've just brought home a puppy or you're living with a grown-up Dachshund, it's all covered. You get the Complete Dachshund Puppy Guide, the Complete Dachshund Adult Guide and five bonus guides.
Those cover back care, a toilet training and barking reset, pulling, barking and toilet habits. 7 guides in total, all written for Dachshunds.
Every guide is broken into short daily steps that fit around your day. Read them on your phone, tablet or computer, or print the checklists for the fridge.
Bonus tip
Teach the ramp habit early
Put a dog ramp or sturdy steps next to the sofa or bed, and reward your Dachshund every time they use it instead of jumping. Scatter a few pieces of their dinner along it to start with.
It quickly becomes their normal way up and down, and it's one of the simplest everyday habits for protecting that long back. It's one of dozens of simple, breed-specific ideas inside the collection.
