Dachshund Understanding

The dachshund dog breed still has much in common with its natural ancestor the "wolf".  With this in mind, it is easy to understand that a dachshund is a natural pack animal with strong hunting abilities and the sense of comfort within its community. 

A dachshund community can be a pack of other dachshunds or humans because humans exhibit characteristics that dogs in general can understand.  Similar characteristics include leadership abilities, food and shelter for the pack as a whole and protection.  Even though it is not at the same level as canine communication, it is accepted as a part of the pack. 

A dachshund like any other dog attempts to improve its overall standing in the pack order.  If the dachshund see's a chance to move itself to the top pack it will attempt to do so.  This is why it is so important to remain the clear leader of the dachshund pack as a whole.  Be firm and clear that you are the leader and your dachshund will respect you for it.
