🌟 “THE DACHS PACKAGE” — Behaviour & Lifestyle Support for Dachshunds£325 For owners who want to truly understand and support their little shadow.

Dachshunds aren’t just small dogs — they’re a breed with big personalities and even bigger opinions. Originally bred to hunt badgers, they’re bold, clever, and surprisingly determined for their size.

Living with a Dachshund means embracing their quirks — and learning to work with their personality, not against it.

Full review of your Dachshund’s background, routine and environment. Discuss any areas for improvement, like separation anxiety, barking, reactivity, lead pulling or toilet training. You will be provided with clear, written information after the session of practical exercises you can practice in-between our sessions.

We’ll cover key life skills tailored to your Dach’s life stage and needs—loose lead walking, focus, impulse control, calmness, mental enrichment, handling, and more. These sessions are hands-on and practical.
