Dachshund Ignores Dogs and People While Training

Despite popular belief, Dachshunds can be trained. Here, I'm teaching my Dachshund to sit on a mat (which will eventually just become where I tell her to stay) while ignoring the dogs and people walking by.
She can look but she isn't allowed to react or to move off of her mat. We've been working on this for a while so, at this point, she just gets a treat after a specific duration or if she ignores something that is really "scary".
Some keys to success are to start at a far enough distance away that your dog won't react and reward them as when they look at the "scary thing" and then turn to look at you (for direction).

She is a little. It's a challenge for her to contain her excitement when food is present.

Well done you! The definition of a dachshund is “stubborn”.We know;-we’ve owned three so far!🤣 One black and tan mini bitch,and now have our second black and tan standard long-hair,William,now approaching his thirteenth birthday. All lovely little characters.Love’em❤️(William is one of a litter of eight! Six B&T,and two silver dapples.Choice of him,or a dapple dog when we went to see them.HE chose ME!😄)

My first Dachshund was black and tan 🙂 I'm on my 4th of my own, but I Dachshund sit, sometimes for 6 weeks at a time, so it's like I've owned a bunch of them already 🤣

[@YouDidWhatWithYourWiener]

No, she's not scared. Just a little chilly (if it's not 70 degrees out, she's chilly 🤣)
