Page "Dachshund" Paragraph 9

Dachshunds are playful, but can be stubborn, and are known for their propensity for chasing small animals, birds, and tennis balls with great determination and ferocity.

Many dachshunds are stubborn, making them a challenge to train.

They are statistically more aggressive to both strangers and other dogs.

They are also markedly aggressive towards their owners.

Several quotes have been recorded regarding the training of dachshunds ; one is from E. B.

White :" Being the owner of dachshunds, to me a book on dog discipline becomes a volume of inspired humor.

Every sentence is a riot.

Some day, if I ever get a chance, I shall write a book, or warning, on the character and temperament of the dachshund and why he can't be trained and shouldn't be.

I would rather train a striped zebra to balance an Indian club than induce a dachshund to heed my slightest command.

When I address Fred I never have to raise either my voice or my hopes.

He even disobeys me when I instruct him in something he wants to do.
