Don’t be fooled by a Dachshund's small size. This bite-sized bundle of energy is all about exercise. Dachshunds need a minimum of 2.5 hours of daily exercise - both physical and mental. Dachshunds enjoy playing with toys, running, swimming, agility, and digging. In order to keep their paws off the flower pots, it is best to have a designated digging box for them.
You can choose to add toys and treats to this box to make it fun and challenging. Digging is both physical and mental exercise for Dachshunds - a perfect two-in-one combo. In addition to this, you could also work your Dachshund’s brain by giving them puzzle toys of different challenge levels. Nobody like to be bored, especially if you’re a Dachshund!
