Overview

Dachshund Puppy PlaybookThe New Owner's Guide to Training, Health & Happiness by Anita L. Miller Bring home your dachshund with confidence. This friendly, evidence-based guide turns that long back and big personality into everyday joy-without guesswork, gimmicks, or guilt. What you'll learn (and actually use): Smart puppy foundations - housetraining that sticks, crate success, first-night routines, and a simple doorbell ritual that tames barking instead of scolding it. Training for an independent nose - recall that competes with scents, leash manners built on sniff-walk rhythms, impulse skills, and cooperative care (nails, brushing, vet visits). Back-safe living - ramps that dogs choose to use, stair and furniture rules that prevent injuries, plus daily strength and proprioception mini-exercises. Socialization that builds resilience - quiet, high-quality exposures (people, dogs, sounds, surfaces) and how to avoid the ""overwhelm and hope"" trap. Health & risk management - clear, practical guidance on IVDD awareness, weight/body-condition targets, dental care for small jaws, insurance/savings checklists, and when to call your vet or a trainer. Right dog, right way - how to evaluate ethical breeders and rescues (red flags, contracts, and the ultimate pre-purchase questionnaire). Breed-happy enrichment - scent games, dig boxes, tracking & nosework you can set up in minutes-perfect, low-impact ""work"" for a little hound. Why this book is different Breed-specific, science-literate, and kind. You'll get reinforcement-based training that respects the dachshund's history as an independent problem-solver-so behaviors stick and the relationship stays trusting. Design beats willpower. Floor plans, micro-rituals, and checklists make success the default (for both of you). From first night to first decade. Step-by-step routines for puppyhood, adolescence, and the senior years, plus printable daily/weekly/monthly checklists. Perfect for: first-time owners, seasoned dachshund families, and anyone who wants a calmer home, a safer spine, and a very satisfied nose. Give your doxie the life they were built for: clear rules, fair pay, and furniture that says ""yes."" Open the Playbook and start thriving-together.
