Dachshunds are often chosen as companion dogs due to their small size and joyful disposition, as well as their attachment to the owner. Unfortunately, it happens quite often that owners of these dogs do not realize the needs of pets, they forget that they were bred as hunting dogs and need a lot of movement and attention. It is necessary to ensure not only long walks, but also intellectual entertainment in the form of handling, as well as regular exercise of smell and retrieving. Otherwise, excess energy can be directed against other animals or strangers and dachshunds may become aggressive.
