Worthless and misleading book
I had Mini long-haired Dachshunds all my life and my new little puppy is even more stubborn than the others!! I bought this book to help me braking her bad bathroom habits which comes from her very dominant personality otherwise she's just so sweet and affectionate.

I agree with the other reviews, this book was written for dogs in general NOT for the very particular personality traits of the Dachshund!! I assume that the author never owned a Doxie and probably only encountered a few, that is why she assume they are not cuddly as Doxies can be reserved with new people but give them a few encounters and they will be all over you.

All my Doxies are EXTREMELY affectionate like no other dogs really. I'm writing this with two on my lap right now! I can't even go to the bathroom on my own without the Doxies wanting to be with me at any cost!! They are little bundle of love.

If you want more info on Dachshunds you should get Dachshunds for Dummies by: Eve Adamson instead.

A Canned Training Perspective
Interesting in a general aspect of training however this book did not answer any of our specific questions about training Dachshunds. I imagine this book starting as a template where the "author" inserted the topical breed's name here and there, then, threw in a few photos of that breed and voila--you've got a breed specific training manual.

Don't buy this book
I read through this book at a Half Price Book Store. It was fast reading and not informative enough on training dachshunds. Also, my dachshund is definitely a lap dog and a cuddler. Don't waste your money on this one.
