Dachshunds are popular for both their long, low-slung statures and their vivacious personalities. Their clownish behavior, unwavering loyalty, and go get ’em attitude has made this breed exceptionally popular throughout the world. These spunky little dogs come in a variety of sizes, with the largest specimens reaching nearly thirty pounds in size and the smallest topping out at just ten pounds or so. They have three distinct coat types to choose from—smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired. This is a fearless little breed, developed hundreds of years ago in Germany to track and hunt animals that went to ground, like badgers, and pull them out of their dens. While the majority of Dachshund dogs today are pampered pets rather than independent hunters, they still retain both their high prey drive and their tenacity. The traits that made them great hunters can also make them somewhat difficult to train. With this thorough guidebook, you will discover everything you need to raise your Dachshund from an impulsive puppy into a confident and well-mannered adult dog. The Complete Guide to Dachshunds is your road map to unlocking your Doxie’s potential. You will learn what to do and what not to do to ensure your canine companion’s continuing good health, as well as tips and techniques for training the stubborn Dachshund. This comprehensive guide to Dachshunds answers your most crucial questions, such as: Is the Dachshund breed right for me? How do I prepare my home for an active new Dachshund? Which methods are most effective when training my Dachshund? What do I need to know to protect my Dachshund’s health? Whether you refer to your new fur baby as a wiener dog, sausage dog, Doxie, Dotson dog, or badger dog, one thing is certain: he will keep you busy! These short-legged dogs aren’t the type of endurance athletes that make good jogging buddies, but they do have a lot of energy and drive. Learn everything you need to know to keep up with your dynamic Dachshund and keep him healthy and happy for years to come. Discover valuable information about your new dog, including: The Dachshund history as a hunting dog How to choose the right Dachshund for you What to expect from a breeder or rescue Planning a budget for your Dachshund darling What to expect the first few weeks at home How to easily house-train your Dachshund The importance of socialization Tips and techniques for training your Doxie How to deal with a difficult Dachshund Grooming your Doxie (with guidelines for all three coat types) Health issues common to the Dachshund breed Protecting your long-backed dog’s spine Supporting the aging Dachshund While these little dogs can be a bit challenging, pet parents around the globe find their efforts well rewarded with joy and laughter. These little hunters are as entertaining as they are cunning, and they are always up for a new adventure. This guidebook will provide indispensable insights about your dog’s mental, physical, and emotional health for both novice and veteran Dachshund owners. This wide-ranging guidebook is required reading for anyone who shares their life with a Dachshund!

Dachshund Training - Dog Training for your Dachshund puppy The training of dogs is often... ... confused with classical dog training drills ... only considered necessary for demanding dogs ... mocked by other dog owners ... replaced by anti-authoritarian methods ... considered too difficult to achieve without experience. What constitutes dog training and what is it good for? And how can you and your Dachshund profit from it without having any experience? The most important thing is to understand how a dog sees his world, what is "normal" for him and how you can use this to your advantage. In addition, the characteristics of each breed are significant when you get beyond the basic training phase. Your Dachshund will show characteristics which are different to those of a Husky, for example, and this is predominantly what you need to consider during training. Author Claudia Kaiser says about her book: "It was my desire to let other dog owners profit from the knowledge I have gained over many years, and after making many mistakes.

E. B. White (1899 1985) is best known for his children's books, Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little, and The Trumpet of the Swan. Columnist for The New Yorker for over half a century and co-author of Strunk and White's The Elements of Style, White hit his stride as an American literary icon when he began publishing his 'One Man's Meat' columns from his saltwater farm on the coast of Maine. In E. B. White on Dogs, his granddaughter and manager of his literary estate, Martha White, has compiled the best and funniest of his essays, poems, letters, and sketches depicting over a dozen of White's various canine companions. Featured here are favorite essays such as 'Two Letters, Both Open,' where White takes on the Internal Revenue Service, and also 'Bedfellows,' with its 'fraudulent reports'; from White's ignoble old dachshund, Fred. ('I just saw an eagle go by. It was carrying a baby.') From The New Yorker's 'The Talk of the Town' are some little-known Notes and Comment pieces covering dog shows, sled dog races, and the trials and tribulations of city canines, chief among them a Scotty called Daisy who was kicked out of Schrafft's, arrested, and later run down by a Yellow Cab, prompting The New Yorker to run her 'Obituary.' Some previously unpublished photographs from the E. B. White Estate show the family dogs, from the first collie, to various labs, Scotties, dachshunds, half-breeds, and mutts, all well-loved. This is a book for readers and writers who recognize a good sentence and a masterful turn of a phrase; for E. B. White fans looking for more from their favorite author; and for dog lovers who may not have discovered the wit, style, and compassion of this most distinguished of American essayists.
