Grooming for a Dachshund Dog
By 
Smooth haired Dachshunds are low maintenance in the grooming department thanks to their coats being so short. A quick brush over with a chamois leather keeps their coats gleaming. However, these little dogs love the one-to-one contact they get during a grooming session and it allows owners to check their dog’s skin and to make sure there are no lumps and bumps developing anywhere on their body.
Puppies need to be taught that grooming is an enjoyable experience from an early age so they look forward to being brushed and don’t get upset when their ears or feet are touched. It’s a good idea to check a Dachshunds ears on a regular basis and to clean them when necessary.
