    Default How To Entertain a Dachshund

    My miniature dachshund is really bored now that we don't have any furniture in my house. How do I keep her entertained? So far, I've put all her toys in a canvas bag and watched her go to town. See video: http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?feature...e_gdata_player



    Just doing what I can to stay on this side of the dirt.

    Man that's depressing. I might recommend playing outside for both of you

    So because you have a dachshund it is best to challenge the breed. What I mean by that is give activities
    that the breed naturally wants to do. Sense dachshunds are part of the scent family of breeds, they naturally want to search for scents. So take a toy or food....hide it then give her the opportunity to find it around your house but not in one location. Like at meal times, put her food in different locations around the house for starters. Dogs want to be challenged we just have to give them the opportunity.

    Great post.

    Thanks for sharing, cute dog.

    Shes digging in that bag because I put a treat in a puzzle toy in the bottom. It's fun to get her riled up and then hand her to my wife.

    Reminds me of mine when she was younger, looks just the same too.
    If you really want to keep a dog with 1 inch legs busy, throw some Doritos into 4 feet of snow.
