Some ideas for you…

🌼 Walks - majority of walks should be giving them sniffing outlets. Opportunities to track animal scent. I’m not saying don’t ever do a street walk, movement is important, but they don’t give your dog much breed fulfillment

🧠 Brain work - this will be a game changer for your dachshund! You’ve probably realised by now snuffle mats last 2 mins and it’s done. Use scent work, trick training, training and this will keep your dachshund fulfilled

👂Listening skills - you need to show your dachshund you do exciting things together. The fun happens with you. BUT you need to do what’s fun for them. Stop asking them to sit and instead go “hunting” with them

Some changes are coming to how I work👇

On holiday I finally had time to think, and I realised I can’t help enough dachshund owners the way I’m working right now. In person training means a lot of my time is spent travelling, and that takes up a lot more hours of my time.

My spaces still remain limited because I’m not in the business of taking on loads of clients. I pride myself on making sure every single client and their dog gets the attention they deserve.

So here’s what’s changing:

🐾 In person 1:1 training is now two part days per week. Spaces are very limited, so please only enquire if you’re serious and ready to put the work in.

🐾 Monthly in person group reactivity class is staying! I couldn’t let this one go 😂

🐾 Online 1:1 coaching stays the same, so I can help dachshund owners wherever they live. You’ll send me regular videos and updates, and the owners who do this see the most success.

🐾 The Calm Dachshund Club is getting regular live training sessions, starting with November’s reactivity challenge. I can’t wait for this one!

You don’t need hours a day or a perfect field to train your dog. 10 minutes in your kitchen while you’re making a coffee is a brilliant place to start (Oscar agrees 😉)

If you’re ready to make a change and can give a min of 10 minutes a day, DM me “READY” and I’ll help you find the right option for you and your dachshund

Things don’t always go to plan

Process your emotions and then change the plan. Reflect on…

- where was my dog most comfortable at?
- what was the biggest trigger?
- what can you remove from the picture to prevent overwhelm?

But honestly, the biggest thing to consider when working with pet professionals is this…
- are they willing to make adjustments to make my dog more comfortable?
- do they understand reactive dogs?
- will they work with me to ensure my dog is comfortable as possible and go at their pace?

Because if the answer to those questions is a no, then it’s a no from me and they’re not the right fit. Our hydrotherapist is working with me and happy to go at Milo’s pace.

Feel free to comment on this post if you’ve got any questions on anything! 🥰

It’s a pretty challenging search 👀

Giving your dachshund a job to do is the best thing you’ll ever do for them.

Dachshunds were bred to hunt. That nose is their superpower, and when it doesn’t get used, all that energy has to go somewhere. Usually into barking, chewing or lunging on walks.

Here’s what a simple scent game can do for your dog:

🐾 Tires out their brain in just 10 minutes
🐾 Lowers stress and helps them settle afterwards
🐾 Builds confidence, especially in nervous or reactive dogs
🐾 Gives them a healthy outlet for natural instincts
🐾 Strengthens your bond because you’re working as a team

And the best part? You don’t need hours a day or fancy equipment.

Want more brain games like this that actually fit into busy lives? You’ll find them all inside The Calm Dachshund Club and are suitable for complete beginners! 🌭

Signs your dachshund may not be getting comfort

🌭 Lip licking & yawning - these can be signs your dog is uncomfortable

🌭 They’re continuining to bark and it’s escalating - indication what you’re doing isn’t comforting them. You’d expect to see at least a reduction or even the barking to stop

🌭 Turning their head away - head turns can be a way of avoidance

Each dog is different and finds different things comforting. Little tip, avoid head strokes, dogs generally don’t enjoy head strokes and they can find this quite rude.

What does your daxie find comforting? Let me know! And follow along if you have more questions you desperately need answering!

Don’t forget about yourself

If you have a dachshund with medical issues or you’re navigating reactivity it takes up all your energy. It is mentally exhausting, let’s not beat around the bush about this. It’s exhausting because you care so much and you want the absolute best by your dogs.

But you need to take that time out, that time for yourself to recharge.

You don’t need to go on holiday for that. But what I’m saying is don’t feel guilty for going on a walk without them. Don’t feel guilty for giving them a rest day. Don’t feel guilty for wanting to do something for YOU. Your dog is going to love you no matter what, that unconditional love they give you is real.

What do you do for you? Inspire me for when I get back in the UK because I’ll need to make sure I don’t slip back into bad habits!!

This will probably stir up the internet

But I’m here to tell you it’s okay if you want to avoid people and their dogs some days.

The moments you cherish are often the moments alone with your dog. Not asking some n*b head if they can recall their out of control dog with 0 recall.

I encourage every single one of my clients to have 1 day of this week and just do something alone with their dog. Book that secure field. Go somewhere peaceful. Do whatever you want to do.

What’s your fave thing to do alone with your dog? ❤️

I’m going to be real with you here

Waiting until a month before Christmas to prepare your dachshund for visitors isn’t going to be enough time.

Trying to get your dachshund comfortable around fireworks whilst they are going off isn’t going to work.

Change takes time. But here’s the thing. You don’t need to spend 1 or even 2 hours per day training either. You just need the right skills and start off with 10 mins per day, that is all.

How long have you spent scrolling today to see this post?

You have 10 mins. And I can give you easy exercises to implement. Because I genuinely believe the exercises don’t have to be complicated.

Take that first step. You absolutely can start now without feeling overwhelmed. I got you, girl!

Comment “ready” and take that first step to read the guide and implement the 1 super simple exercise from the tutorial

Common misconceptions about dogs in pain 👇

There’s a common misconception that if a dog is in pain, they simply won’t eat, run, play or act like themselves.

But that’s not always the case.

Milo does all of those things.

He was diagnosed with IVDD this year and is experiencing a pain flare up.

He’ll initiate play with his dachshund bro, Oscar. Given the opportunity, he’ll jump on and off things. He eats every meal and LOVES his food. He’ll even happily take treats while out on walks.

This is why I think it’s so important to look beyond the obvious when it comes to pain.

Behaviour can be one of the first things you notice when something isn’t right. When a dog is in pain their nervous system is constantly receiving signals something is wrong, which makes them more alert.

That doesn’t mean every anxious or unusual behaviour is pain related.

But if you’re seeing a change in your dog’s behaviour, particularly alongside other changes in movement, posture, willingness to walk, or general comfort, it’s absolutely worth getting them checked by your vet to rule out an underlying medical cause.

Because you can’t train pain away.

And sometimes, the most important part of training is knowing when the behaviour needs investigating rather than training.

It would be amazing if you could share this post to raise awareness amongst our fellow daxie community ❤️

Nobody warns you about this part. The judgment, the guilt on rest days, the feeling that everyone else’s dog is easy.
You’re not failing your dachshund. You’re doing something genuinely hard, and it’s a lot easier with people who get it.

If you want to feel less alone and not feel judged. Follow my page, I got you ❤️
