Health & Training

At Dachshund Puppies Haven, we are committed to giving every puppy the healthiest start and helping families understand how to guide their Dachshund as they grow. This page provides helpful information about general health awareness, early care routines, and positive training habits for your new companion.

🐾 Health: Giving Your Puppy the Best Start

Your Dachshund puppy’s well-being begins long before they arrive at their new home. We make sure every puppy receives loving care, early socialization, and an environment where they can grow confidently.

Healthy Foundations

Each of our puppies is raised with:

  • A clean, nurturing living space

  • Regular gentle handling

  • Age-appropriate social experiences

  • Lots of playtime and bonding

These early routines help puppies feel secure and ready to adapt to their new families.

Understanding Dachshund Health

Every breed has its unique characteristics, and Dachshunds are known for their long bodies and lively personalities. Families typically pay attention to:

  • Comfortable, safe play areas

  • Supportive handling techniques

  • Age-appropriate activity levels

Our goal is to help you understand your puppy’s needs so they can live a comfortable, happy life.

Ongoing Wellness

We encourage families to maintain:

  • A stable daily routine

  • A balanced diet suitable for puppies

  • Plenty of hydration

  • Safe, supervised play

You’ll receive a puppy information sheet from us that includes your pup’s daily schedule, feeding routine, and general care notes to help you begin smoothly.

🐾 Training: Building Positive Habits

Dachshunds are intelligent, curious, and eager to be part of family life. With positive guidance, they learn quickly and form strong bonds.

Early Social Skills

Your puppy will begin learning basic social skills from the day they’re born. Once they join your family, you can continue this by:

  • Introducing them gently to new sights and sounds

  • Creating a calm, predictable environment

  • Encouraging curiosity in a safe way

These small steps help build confidence and reduce nervousness.

House Training Basics

Dachshund puppies benefit from:

  • A steady routine

  • Frequent outdoor breaks

  • Lots of praise when they get it right

Consistency goes a long way for this smart little breed.

Basic Manners

Many families enjoy teaching their Dachshund:

  • Name recognition

  • Simple commands like “sit” and “come”

  • Good leash manners

  • Calm behavior during mealtime and play

Short, fun sessions tend to work best for their short attention spans.

Encouragement & Patience

Dachshunds respond well to:

  • Gentle voices

  • Treats (when allowed)

  • Kind praise

  • Play-based learning

They thrive when training feels like a positive partnership.
