With just a $2 tool, your Dachshund training sessions can be carried out in a fun and effective fashion. From my experience this super cheap training device is definitely the fastest way to train a stubborn Dachshund dog.
You know, I used to find Dachshund training VERY difficult. After all, this breed is notorious for being extremely stubborn!
It's a challenge that I did not relish at first but thanks to this dirt cheap tool along with the right dog behavior shaping techniques, I'm finally enjoying each training session with my Dachshund, Yoshi.
So this "$2 tool", what is it?
Well, I went to the pet store and bought a clicker which actually cost $1.99. Yes this is the training device that I used to train my Dachshund pet, See, I purchased this tool after stumbling upon this comprehensive clicker dog training E-Manual.
The training methods are specifically designed to help shape desirable behaviors in your dog. You see, the clicker is a pretty versatile tool and can be utilized effectively for any type of training.
You can use it for obedience training, house training, for teaching your dog tricks and so on...

So, I'm pretty happy with my Dachshund training results so far and if you have clicker in hand right now, then kindly take note of the following tips. They've done wonders for my Yoshi!
(1) Teaching your Dachshund a new behavior can be quite challenging so make sure you use only top-quality reinforcer. The reinforcer must be of better quality than his regular food. Also use quality reinforcer when training in busy areas!
(2) Sometimes my Yoshi can be quite slow at capturing a new behavior. So I often use targeting technique with a clicker to help her progress faster. It's been working like a charm for me so do consider using targeting if you find it hard to teach your Dachshund a particular behavior. Use luring only as a LAST resort!
(3) Stimulus control should be set up as soon as your dog has become fluent at doing the behavior that you've taught him. See, establishing stimulus control prevents your dog from forgetting that behavior. Dachshund training is challenging so you don't want all your hard work to be undone!
So why worry if you can train your elongated and adorable Dachshund with just a dirt cheap training device?
Even if you lack experience, you can still train your dog to do perform desirable behaviors relatively fast by referring to step-by-step clicker behavior shaping techniques found at this link: Clicker Home Dog Training Guide
