More about Jeremiah The Sausage

Meet Jeremiah The Sausage!

Sweet Jeremiah has a lovely history of being calm, affectionate and playful with his previous owner and was happy to meet new people and make friends in and out of the home, once he'd let them know he was there with a few barks. Jeremiah was previously attacked by a larger dog when he was about a year old, and this had an effect on his confidence, leaving him worried when seeing other dogs and reacting at them if they approached, however, he has been making great progress in his confidence day by day. Though as a result of this incident, little Jeremiah can sometimes be conflicted and vocal when meeting dogs and will need confident owners that are able to follow our advice around training in this area.

Jeremiah has had extensive muzzle training, which he has responded very well to, and is a useful tool for the handler when taking him on walks when meeting new dogs. Throughout his training, he has been able to make new canine friends and has been unmuzzled during his socials. He is therefore looking for owners who are willing to continue working on his confidence and follow the training which works for him. We would encourage whilst he is settling in and making new human bonds, to wear the muzzle when he is meeting dogs, and when he is familiar with them and good friends, he may then be able to have unmuzzled socials. He has shown a great improvement with his training and we are so very proud of the growth during this journey.

Here at Battersea we have seen the same sweet, affectionate and playful boy who likes to make himself heard. He loves to snuggle with his favourite people and play fetch till his little legs are worn out, and has been making new friends on every walk.

During his stay with Jeremiah has shown to be vocal out & about and can find busy areas very stressful, and will need a quiet location where he isnt overwhelmed by too many dogs or people on his walks, so that owners can continue his training & confidence building with minimal distractions.

Jeremiah would be best suited with new owners who have some experience of caring for a Dachshund and are fully aware of their strong character traits and behaviours that may need managing. He will need owners that are at home most of the time initially and a secure garden for training. Jeremiah will need to be the only dog in the household but may be able to live with sensible older teens that can contribute to his training,
