– Dachshunds are moderate-energy but tend to be “attention seekers” — they go all in, then need breaks.
– They enjoy short chases, soft tug games, or hunting-style play (sniffing, foraging, exploring).
– Because of their long backs and short legs, rough play or jumping should be discouraged to prevent injury.
– They tend to do best in smaller groups or with dogs close to their size and energy level.
