The friendly Dachshund readily adapts to the average household environment. But he also tends to be vocal, and unwanted barking can pose a problem. Regular exercise is a prerequisite in the care and training of this energetic dog. It's well known that each canine breed has its own traits, but when acquiring a dog, many inexperienced owners mistakenly assume that the 'one-size-fits-all' approach is adequate for purposes of training their new pet.The titles in this very useful and expanding series speak exclusively to the task of dog training, telling new owners what they need to know about the breed they have chosen to be their household companion. Each book in the "Training Your Dog Series" focuses on the distinctive traits and temperament of a specific breed. Dog owners learn humane but effective methods of housebreaking and paper training, and then progress to basic obedience training, walking on a leash, teaching a dog to obey both verbal commands and hand signals, and more. Special behaviour problems are also covered, with advice on eliminating bad habits that include begging, jumping on visitors, unnecessary barking, and aggressive behaviour.
