Hi Joan. What you describe is a complicated issue with many different potential causes and solutions. So, while I touch of various aspects of this behavior, unfortunately, I don’t have one article focused on it. Things to look into for help are socialization, desensitization, and impulse control training. If you are worried about him biting, you can also consider muzzle training. Believe it or not, some dogs find the muzzle comforting, or as a signal they can relax, so it can help curb their reactivity. You may also want to check out this article I wrote for another blog about reactivity and aggressive behavior on a leash. https://formydachshund.com/why-does-my-dachshund-bark-and-lunge-at-other-dogs-on-walks/

He doesn’t do well in groups of other dogs either, but this is ok. Do you have anything to share about the protectiveness and anxiety as it can lead to him nipping or biting.

Hello. I can’t say exactly why they are doing that. I would suggest you talk to your vet about it if you haven’t already. It could be caused by a medical condition. My guess though is that it’s related to anxiety because things have changed significantly with your wife totally out of the house and you gone a lot more. Unfortunately, there is no quick fix. If they are comfortable in a dog crate, I would crate them while you’re gone. The chance they will soil in their “den” is slim and, if they do, it’s easier to clean up. You can also talk to your vet about temporarily using anti-anxiety medication or try CBD or VetriScience composure to help calm their nerves. For a longer-term solution, you’ll find some tips in this article: https://youdidwhatwithyourweiner.com/stop-dog-separation-anxiety/

Dachshunds can take longer to train than other breeds but don’t give up. It can be done 🙂

I have Italian Greyhounds who are brilliant at recall. Doris is my first dachshund. I adore her but she is hopeless at recall. Or rather I am hopeless trying to train her ?
