As an experienced dachshund owner — with four of our own and the founder of The Sausage Dog Sanctuary Hotel, where we’ve cared for hundreds, if not thousands of dachshunds since 2018, I can honestly say I’m blown away by the incredible start to life Coots puppies receive.
Our new boy came to us toilet trained, lead and collar trained, with fantastic recall, and even walks to heel off-lead! He sits patiently while waiting for his food and has the calmest, most well-balanced temperament I’ve ever seen in a puppy.
Getting this early training right is absolutely crucial especially with dachshunds, who are famously strong-willed and can be challenging to train without the right foundations. We see the difference every day at our hotel, dogs who’ve had structured, positive early training grow into confident, calm companions, while others can struggle with recall, toilet habits, and anxiety.
What Coots achieves with their puppies is truly next level. Their dedication, structure, and care produce exceptionally well rounded little dogs. It genuinely deserves to be shouted from the rooftops!
If you’re looking for a dachshund who’s had the very best possible start in life, I couldn’t recommend Coots at Eversden highly enough.
