He is your best friend, your confidante. You rely on him to make your life better, happier. Because of this, it’s only natural to want the strongest bond possible with your Dachshund. You want him to love you as much as you love him. While most Doxies naturally bond with their families, there are things you can do to create a stronger relationship with yours. The following are 3 great ways to strengthen your bond with your dachshund.
#1 – Earthdog Training
While all types of training will strengthen your bond with your Doxie, Earthdog is special. Letting your Dachshund do what she was bred to do – hunt – will enrich her life tenfold. You will definitely notice a change in your relationship. Your Doxie will see you as the person that takes her to a fun place where she gets to use her instincts, and this will definitely deepen your bond. Plus, it’s really cool to see your dog work.
#2 – Learn Your Dachshund’s Language
What better way to improve your relationship and deepen your bond than to understand your Doxie better? In order to do that, you need to learn how they communicate through body language. Dr. Sophia Yin’s website has a host of free body language posters that can help you learn to speak “dog,” which your Dachshund will greatly appreciate.
#3 – Play
Play is an easy and fun way to bond with your Dachshund. Any game he enjoys is fine, just as long as you’re doing it together! Agility trainers encourage play with their students because they have found it creates dogs that listen better and work harder for their owners.
