Potty Training a Dachshund: 15 Tips and Protocol for Success


If you have heard that potty training a Dachshund is difficult, or you feel like your current potty training efforts are just not working, don’t despair!

My puppy Summit came to me potty pad trained and she was 100% house trained (taught to only go outside) within 3 months. 

She is 5 years old now and has never had a potty accident inside the house.

In my experience, the protocol below, which I have developed after years of research and trial and error, is the best way to potty train a Dachshund puppy. 

Note: this article focuses on how to train a Dachshund puppy to potty outside, not how to train them to go on potty pads inside.

Puppies are new to the world and most receptive to learning as a baby. 

And they have not done the wrong thing so long that they have become stuck in their ways (habituated to it as normal) yet.

However, these tips can be effective for potty training an adult Dachshund too.

Below, I detail my potty training protocol, and the 15 easy tips, that have helped me successfully train several Dachshunds.

I have used these tips on a 1-year old Dachshund I adopted and used these techniques to “remind” my Dachshund sitting clients where the appropriate place to go to the bathroom is.
