Dachshunds don’t like face to face with their owners. They will feel tense, uncomfortable.
However, we cannot be denied the fact that dog owners love to look into the eyes and filled with the “cuteness” in it. So how to be good for both?
It is so simple, whenever you would like to do that, raise your eyebrows constantly. According to a study on behavior of animals, that action will be translated as a signal of love. Then the dogs’ brain will increase oxytocin, the love hormone. The more you move your eyebrows, the more the effect will increase.
3. Talking to your dogs.
Many people think that it is crazy to keep talking to a dog. However, many studies have shown that dachshunds or other dogs are able to understand what you say and remember a lot of words. Besides, the can also know your emotion by the tone of voice.
Therefore, talking to the puppies with a loving attitude will help them understand that you love them so much.
4. Brushing and massage your dachshunds.

Talking the dogs for a walk, or simply taking them with you when you go outside. It’s really a good method. It will not only help your puppies get a good health, but it also helps them understand how much you love them.

Beside massaging body, the dogs also love massaging their ears. According to Dog Time, this action will make the little friends feel comfortable because their ears have a lot of nerves responsible for stimulating Endorphin, an emotional hormone.
In fact, this is also the hormone released when we use drugs. That is why the can say that dogs are very addicted when we rub their ears.
7. Hand feeding.
If you are a dachshund lover, you must feed your dogs. However, do you feed your dogs with your hand? If you do, it’s great because it is an extremely effective way to improve the bond of dogs and human. It is the conclusion of a veterinarian on WebMD.
Hand feeding is better than letting your dachshund eat food in a bowl. They will learn to relax and enjoy the meal with their owners faster, and you can also teach them to eat food slowly, not so quickly because it is not good for them.
