Dachshund
Dachshunds are lovely small dogs with a loud and energetic presence. Initially bred for hunting animals in their burrows, Dachshunds can be playful and independent. These little dogs have very bright and courageous personalities, sometimes leading to excessive activity and barking. Dachshund dog training can guarantee your bundle of joy will put its energy into positive actions and your furry friend will become a loving and loyal family member.
Efficient Dachshund Dog Training Programme
At Royvon, we’ve worked with dogs of all breeds for over 60 years. We have trained many Dachshunds and believe the best way to counter unwanted behaviour is through strategic training, focusing on positive reinforcement of the desired behaviours. Our residential Dachshund training programme is a two-phase course to help you and your dog overcome misbehaviourand is available at our Merthyr Tydfil or Esher training centres. You can also leave your Dachshund at our daycare – Playhouse in Bridgend.
Phase 1 of our residential training program will have your Dachshund stay with us at our on-site dog hotel. The phase lasts three weeks, during which we’ll engage your dog in a rigorous training curriculum. The course is designed with the latest positive training methods and behaviour modification strategies in mind and we only ever use force-free methods. Your dog will have training sessions each day, working towards your specific goals. They will train with a specialist trainer who can tailor each session to support your particular needs and desires. During their stay you will receive an update once a week from your trainer on your dog’s progress and you will start to see the training methods that are working most effectively with their personality.
Phase 2 is called ‘Owner Training’ with the support to help your own dog training development. During this phase, you will be taught how to continue the great progress your dog has made when you leave. Five hours of owner training are included, starting on the day of collection. We will teach you the best training skills and give you the confidence to be around and lead your dog. You will become better at reacting the right way around your dog and create a better relationship with your Dachshund.

Force-Free Dachshund Training Methods
Our years in business have helped us develop a unique obedience and behavioural management concept. We have trained many Dachshunds, with our methods combining three generations of family knowledge and the latest scientific research. Our slogan, ‘The Way You Treat Your Dog,’ highlights our approach to training dogs. We believe that a well-behaving dog makes both the owner and the dog happier as a result.
Our experience shows that positive reinforcement is the best way to achieve training results. We condemn any force-based training and don’t think fear is effective in getting your dogs to behave. You can rest assured that we will treat your best friend with respect and care. Our training programme will unlock the best of your dog’s behaviour by using treats, toys and praise. When training a Dachshund dog, our objective is to get your dog to trust you. Our methods will reinforce the idea that good behaviour will result in a positive reaction.
Our training scheme engages your dog mentally and physically through different daily activities and games. These training activities will gradually introduce new distractions to test your dog’s patience and focus. Your puppy will get a chance to take commands in different types of scenarios.
What to Expect from your Dachshund Dog After Training
Our residential dog training programme will return a healthy, happy, obedient Dachshund. Your puppy will respond to your commands and maintain a non-aggressive stance in different environments. The training programme will help your Dachshund to carry out orders and stay focused on you, even when there are distractions.
You can expect your fluffy friend to react to your commands in any situation. You can walk them off the lead, knowing that they will return when commanded to do so. Your dog will gain confidence, meaning you can introduce them to new people without worrying about how they react to strangers. We aim to provide your dog with the confidence it deserves to overcome fear and insecurities. Your Dachshund will build trust faster with humans, becoming less fearful or stressed.


Why Training A Dachshund Early is Best?
The ‘grand’ Dachshund, often lovingly named the “Sausage dog” or “Weiner dog”, is a bundle of energy with a spirited personality. When these amusing pups enter your home, they embark on a learning journey. Starting their training as puppies ensures they recognise right from wrong during their impressionable years.
With their innately loud barks and natural digging instincts, Dachshunds are deeply influenced by their historical role in badger hunting. Therefore, early training harnesses these inherent traits and nurtures a confident and well-adjusted friend. Remember, every day’s a school day with a Dachshund. Contact us today and help your Dachshund puppy flourish!

When training is over, your little fluffy friend can relax in our luxurious ‘dog hotel’ and enjoy some peace and quiet.

Mimi was absolutely wonderful. She took the time to really understand both us and our new family member (Lilo), who joined us when she was 16 months old. She helped educate us on how to best support and care for our dog, and all her advice and training techniques were practical and relevant to our situation.
Her approach was always positive, encouraging, and thoughtful, which made the learning experience enjoyable for all of us. As a result of her help and guidance, Lilo is now confident, well adjusted and happy doggy.
Highly recommend Royvon and Mimi to anyone looking for professional, compassionate dog training.
The team is incredibly kind, helpful, and accommodating. When I recently broke my foot, they arranged a last-minute stay for him so he could be properly looked after while my husband was away. They even let us pick Vincent up after hours when our flight home was severely delayed — something we were so grateful for.
We love the daily updates and photos they send, and they’re always quick to respond to WhatsApp messages or suggest services that might benefit Vincent during his stay. We always feel he’s in the safest, most caring hands.
Thank you so much, Royvon — we’re so glad we found you!
We have taken our puppy to Royvon since he was 12 weeks old and now 6 months. Starting with the master class at home then puppy school and 1:1’s! We have felt completely supported by everyone at Royvon, nothing ever too much trouble.
We couldn’t have asked for better care, all staff are kind, friendly and so welcoming. Our Puppy is excited as soon as he enters the Royvon premises, he knows exactly where to go and always greeted with open arms and cuddles. So great to have a safe environment to leave our puppy without having to worry about him! Thank you Royvon for all your help and ongoing support! Rocky is one happy and beautifully behaved boy!
We have Romeo and Kelsey’s on going support and together I’m hoping we’ll help our boy become the calm gentle giant we know he can be. Ps his recall is also now excellent
Thanks

Our Border Collie, Coby, often would chase cars, wildlife, etc. With her guidance, Coby is a lot better.
Thank you Charlie for all your support and encouragement.
From point of enquiry about boarding for our two dogs Mabel and Albie, the communication from the team has been amazing and so helpful. It was an easy booking process and I loved that we could make the stay as bespoke as we wanted to suit our dogs best, enabling them to follow a similar routine to when they are at home.
This is the first time we have left our dogs but would not hesitate to use Royvon again. Every member of staff we met showed their passion for working with dogs and were true experts. We collected our dogs yesterday after a 10 day stay and it was evident they had been so well cared for. We loved the updates whilst we were away, ranging from photos to written reports which were so reassuring. It was also clear that they really got to know Mabel and Albie as their observations and comments were spot on, also showing that both dogs were relaxed and settled in the boarding environment and with the staff that cared for them. A special thank you to Millie and Sofia who were both amazing and spent a lot of time with them. Mabel and Albie send kisses!
We would not hesitate to recommend and are already looking forward to booking them in again.
The Hooper family.

It has been very difficult for us to leave Riley in anybody else’s care because he requires experience and a controlled environment and we were blown away by how intuitively and confidently the team at Royvon took care of him and put our minds at ease. Millie who checked Riley out was fantastic too and had spent extra time with him that morning, and everybody we met on site was so responsive, kind and professional. It is life changing to know there is a place we can trust with a tricky but beloved dog, and we are looking forward to Riley building strong relationships with the team there. Thank you Tilly, Millie and all at Royvon!
Sisu absolutely loves it at Royvon and gets excited every time we pull into the car park!
From the moment we drop her off, we know she’s in great hands. The staff are professional, caring and clearly passionate about what they do.
Sisu always comes home happy, healthy and tired after enjoying days packed with play, training and love from the team :).
It gives us total peace of mind knowing she’s getting great care and we never hesitate to book her into Royvon when we’re going away.
We highly recommend Royvon!
I can now go on holiday knowing that my dog will be having a great time too.
Alfie and familyxx
Both Leo and Pippin had a great time at Royvon, staff all very pleasant and clearly love working with the dogs. The videos of the dogs out and about shows how happy they are whilst on their holidays. Wouldn’t hesitate to use Royvon again.
