About a 10 to 20 minute walk each day, when young and once they’re adult they can walk much longer. If you have a large fenced yard, and the dog can get out to have a good run around, less walking time would be needed. They’re an active breed, and need regular exercise if they are not to become bored, noisy or destructive in the house.
Dachshunds need proper exercise both on and off the leash. Teach your new puppy to walk sensibly on the leash and get him used to traffic when young. Teach him to come back, off lead while he is still small, (do this in an enclosed space.) Don’t over exercise young dachshunds. About 10 minutes a day is plenty for a pup of 4 - 6 months old. By the time they reach maturity at about 1 year old you can increase the time spent walking, to about 45 minutes each day.
