When you bring a rescue Dachshund home, their behaviour might not look the way you expected and often, that comes down to stress.
In this short video, I explain how stress shows up in newly rehomed dogs and why many of the behaviours you’re seeing are completely normal.
Stress doesn’t always look obvious. It can show up as being quiet, unsettled, clingy, restless, or even overly calm.
Understanding this early on can completely change how you support your dog and help them settle more quickly.
In this video, you’ll learn:
What stress looks like in a rescue Dachshund
Why behaviour can seem different in the first few days
How stress affects your dog’s behaviour and routine
What helps your dog feel safe and settled
If your dog seems different to what you expected, nothing is wrong. They are adjusting to a completely new world.
This video is part of a settling-in series designed to help you and your rescue Dachshund build calm, confidence, and trust from the very beginning.
