	NEVER hita dog. A friend of mine did that once and even a light smack to a small dog can cause internal injuries. It did in her case and the dog died after a couple thousand dollars of emergency surgery. NEVER, EVER hit a dog. Learn to take care of your dog or deliver it to a rescure where someone will properly care for him/her. A dog is like having a baby.

	When I ran off one time while getting ready to go to the weiner dog races my mom scolded me. I taught her a lesson and when it was time for the race, I wouldn't run. =) another time she was mad at me for hiding in the yard and making her worry. When we came onside I ran under the chair and I tried to let her know to stop being mad, but she kept reaching for me. I was afraid, so I bit her! Mom has calmed down and would never hit me or my brothers, so we try not to make her worry anymore. You should never hit a doggie, no matter how big or small.

	(Shame on you for spanking your dog! - Ellie & Frankie's Mom) I can say that my Mom gets me to respond better by staying calm when correcting me and I am much better because my Mom & Dad trained me how to act better. I don't understand yelling and hitting! I am still naughty sometimes, but I am always learning. Sometimes I am naughty or pout because I am bored, I don't mean anything by it! Chasing my ball or going for a walk helps me to not be bored though.

	Dachshunds are very.. moody. Abby has a weird routine after being scolded. However i do not support 'spankings' you know your dog. One thing to watch out for when 'spanking' a dachshund is their long backs. If swatted can sometimes result in a sprained disc or worse. =) just a thought

Fancy

	While everyone above is correct, 'spanking' your dog is not the responsible way to solve a problem, Daschund's can be very moody. Mine, Fancy, knows when I get angry at her. Generally, she'll hide under a desk or something and wont do anything until I show her some love.
