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!

This was our dog’s first time to stay in kennels. She stayed for an overnight evaluation. She settled very well. Richard kept us updated with photos and an enhancement report. Nansi looked very happy in the photos. We have no qualms about further stays at Royvon Merthyr Tydfil.
Our two dogs have just completed a three week residential training programme at Royvon with their two wonderful and experienced trainers, Romeo and Kelsey.We were experiencing difficulties when walking both dogs on the lead and both had become protective, reactive and nervous of other people and sometimes dogs, making our walks difficult and stressful.Well what can I say, the improvement we have seen in both dogs is brilliant, they are more confident and focused now and their reactivity levels have dropped significantly. We have some additional 1:1 training sessions to complete over the next few weeks to ensure that we can keep up the training.During the training programme, Romeo and Kelsey sent us video updates of the dog’s progress, enabling us to see how they were getting on and responding to the training. This was invaluable to us.In addition, the team at Royvon took really good care of both dogs and we received reports on how they were settling in/getting on during their group playtime and time spent in kennels, plus daily photo updates.I wouldn’t hesitate to board our dogs at Royvon again, we were very happy with the dogs care.Thank you to Romeo, Kelsey and the rest of the team at Royvon!
My dog Reggie attended royvons 3 week residential programme; he struggled with over excitement when he sees other dogs and people on lead, he had no focus on me out on walks at all, I struggled to walk him and would avoid busy places, he had lack of impulse control. it was having a real impact on my confidence and walks was not enjoyable as it was so overwhelming for me and Reggie. I knew I needed some extra help and that's when I came across Royvon, the reviews were amazing and after reading up and finding out more about royvon, I took the decision to go ahead and enrol Reggie for the 3 weeks programme. This was a difficult decision as me and Reggie had never been apart for that long and I was so worried about leaving him ( I had nothing to worry about as they was amazing ) I was told that Romeo would be our trainer and I was excited about this as I had read a lot about Romeo and was actually hoping to get matched with him as he has experience with large dogs. From when I dropped Reggie off the reception team was so welcoming they talked me through everything, then it was time to meet Romeo who was amazing with Reggie right from the start, we had a chat about what I wanted him to work on with Reggie and I could see how much he loved and cared about dogs Reggie bonded with him almost instantly. Through out Reggie's stay I was kept up to date every day with pictures and training videos which made it easier with being away from him as I could see how he was every day. Romeo worked so hard with Reggie and really cared for Him.. I would highly recommend Romeo and Royvon. Reggie has come back a changed dog for the better 🥰😊 we can now enjoy our walks and have a better relationship for it. Thank you so much Romeo and Royvon!
Amazing talented team at Royvon! Cannot thank them enough for their continued help and training with the pups. Everyone has been so attentive to our dogs and have done so much to accommodate, cannot recommend Royvon enough!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much Edward for your appreciated 5 Star review of your Royvon experience 🐶
My two year old , very large, excitable, goldendoodle , Bruno, went to Royvon for three weeks while we were on holiday, as he was struggling with reactivity - mainly manifesting in lots of loud , continuous barking when we were out on walks and at home, if anything unexpected happened . I dealt with Darren initially, who owns Royvon and is amazingly reassuring and efficient and assigned us to Charlie who was to be his trainer. She was just brilliant . As well as reassuring me by being in constant communication with WhatsApps and videos, she really ‘got’ Bruno and worked with him every day doing fun games and exercises to calm him down and build his confidence. When I returned she explained so much about his issues and how I could help him continue to overcome them. She’s absolutely fantastic, so knowledgeable, intuitive, patient and kind. He’s so much better on walks, which have become a real pleasure again , and we are continuing to work with Charlie on sorting things out at home. I can’t recommend Royvon highly enough - everyone there is delightful and the trainers I met are all so brilliant , and clearly really love dogs! Thank you Royvon!
Response from the owner: Hi Anne,Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! Your kind words mean the world to us, and we’re so pleased to hear how much Bruno has progressed during his time at Royvon. It was a pleasure to have him with us, and we’re thrilled that his training has made such a difference in both his confidence and your enjoyment of walks together!Darren, Charlie, and the rest of the team will be delighted to hear your feedback. Charlie is truly dedicated to understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs, and it’s wonderful to hear how much her patience, knowledge, and tailored approach have helped Bruno. We know how important it is to feel reassured while your dog is in training, so we’re glad the regular updates helped keep you connected and informed throughout the process.Your feedback means so much to us as a family business, as we are always striving to improve and provide the best experience for both dogs and owners. We truly appreciate you choosing Royvon, and we look forward to continuing to support you and Bruno on this journey. Please don’t hesitate to reach out whenever you need us—we can’t wait to see you both again!Best wishes,The Royvon Team 🐾💙
This place is amazing. I have 2 4 year old sheepdogs and they have separate issues. Blue is hyperactive and scittish and likes to chase things and Jack is slightly overweight and lets Blue run around for him. They both attend Royvon for a playday on separate days and they are getting on great. The staff are brilliant and make sure they have individual plays for their needs. They keep them entertained with games to use their brains and they are exhausted when they get home.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We truly appreciate you sharing your experience, as it helps other dog owners make the best choices for their pups.It’s fantastic to hear how well Blue and Jack are getting on at Royvon! We love that they each have their own unique personalities and needs, and our team is always committed to ensuring every dog gets the right level of engagement, whether it’s burning off energy or keeping their minds active. It’s great to know they’re enjoying their tailored playdays and going home happy (and exhausted!).Your kind words about our brilliant team mean the world to us—we’re passionate about what we do, and feedback like yours reassures us that we’re making a positive impact. Thank you for choosing Royvon, and we can’t wait to see Blue and Jack again soon!
My Doberman, Chop has just come back from the 3 week training programme with Charlie. Nothing but good to say about the whole experience and the team down there. Kept up to date every day with what’s been happening with his training/playtime with the other dogs. He’s come back a lot calmer and easier to work with with the foundations they’ve set for him
