Very informative. It helps you understand the breed a lot better. However, I felt that some of her training techniques were unrealistic in the common household.

I agree with others. This Author must never have owned a doxie. Mine never lets me out of his site. He curls up in my lap all the time, sleeps with me, cries and howls if he can't find me. Had no trouble house training him once I put in a pet door except when it's really cold or raining he wants me to go out with him. He is stubborn, very protective and chews but at 10 mos. he's still learning and so am I. He is the best companion I've had since my childhood pet. I just hope I go before he does. Onyx has really helped with the loss of my oldest son (age 19) I have another teenager but Onyx has been like having a new baby. This Author was way off base. Doxies are Wonderful!
Worthless and misleading book April 9, 2004

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.

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.
Loads of Useless General Information January 21, 2004

I found this book to be very basic on Dog Training and not at all truthfull about Dachshunds. For example, in the book the author basically writes 'If you don't have time for one dachshund you should consider getting two.' I know from personal experience that two dogs are twice as much work. This book also reports that dachshund are not a dog you should get if you want a cuddly dog. WRONG again, every dachshund I have come across has been nothing but a snuggly cuddler, which is one reason why I chose this breed. This book is useless!!
