This book starts off by discussing the dachshund in general. Their
personality, history, and temperament are some of the topics covered. All of these
factors play a role for people deciding to get a dachshund, and from there, how to
train it. The training section of the book begins by stating that owners should know
that dachshunds want to be on the same page as you, as it works to their benefit.
The author states that this is important to understand in order to properly train your
dachshund.
The author lists several ways in which to use vocal tone to your advantage in
training your dachshund. Some examples include using a soft tone for praise and a
strong, but low tone for commands. Being consistent with your tone and words
used are also important, according to the author. Commands and praise should be
concise as to not confuse the dachshund. The dogs will in turn use consistent body
language to communicate back to the human. The book emphasizes that such
actions are key for humans and dachshunds to communicate on the same level.
The next topic on training emphasizes the importance of rewards rather than
reprimands. Dachshunds are good at not making the same mistake twice, but the
new way of doing things may not be to the owners liking either. With that said,
reinforcing what the dog does correctly rather than focusing on what he or she does
incorrectly will greatly reduce the time spent in training. The book goes on to talk
about the importance of eye contact. Making eye contact with a dachshund is key
for reinforcing desired behaviors. Since dachshunds are not built to look upwards, it

is important to maintain eye contact to ensure the dachshund is focused on what

you are trying to get across. According to the author, if these methods are followed,
training a dachshund should be much easier.

This book covers many aspects of the dachshund, from its history to physical
and personality characteristics. The dachshund first emerged from Germany, but it
is unclear if they were part of earlier cultures in ancient times. The dachshund was
originally bred to hunt badgers and other game. Their short legs allowed them to
get into narrow places without compromising body strength. The dachshund later
became popular as a show dog in England. Soon after coming to America, they
quickly rose as one of the most popular pet breeds worldwide.
The dachshunds form is one that is well suited for hunting and digging. Their
torsos allow for strong lung and heart capacity while their body length allows for
burrowing easily. Their short legs allow for very effective movements underground.
There are three types of dachshunds: smooth haired, long haired, and wire haired.
All three can be either standard or miniature and come in a variety of colors. Their
unique shape and form are part of what makes them so popular.
The book discusses how the demeanor and personality of dachshunds are
true to their history. Dachshunds are known to burrow under blankets and dig in the

yard, just as they were bred to many years ago. In addition, they are known to be
use their own intuition to solve problems, so they can be a bit stubborn. However,
they are a very social breed and love being around other dogs and people. They are
reasonably easy to care for. They do not eat very much and require minimal
grooming. Overall, the book gives a positive image for the dachshund.

This book centers around Crusoe, a miniature dachshund with a not-sominiature personality. The book is set from the point of view of Crusoe, and he
begins by talking about his rise to fame and how he got to where he is. He states
that he came from humble beginnings in Canada. But that humble lifestyle
changed after seeing himself on TV. After winning a wiener dog race when he was
one, he was hooked on being a celebrity.
From there, the book covers his high profile life from puppyhood. He talks
about the day he met his parents and going to his new home. He shares a few
pictures of his early days and comments on how photogenic he is. He talks about
his mother figure, Laffie, who was the other dog his parents already had when
Crusoe came into the family. He shares that he learned everything he knows about
the outdoors from her, such as hunting and chasing. It was from these experiences
that he developed his muscles that are part of his now famous physique.

Next, he shares a way he likes to prepare the squirrel he catches, but later
goes on to explain why he does not like the vet. It all started when he was
accidentally pushed off the bed and hurt his shoulder. When he arrived at the vet,
the vet said something along the lines of lameness in reference to his shoulder.
To Crusoe, that simply would not do. After the x-ray, it was determined that his
strong muscles protected his bones and he would be just fine. And he was back to
his strong, celebrity self.

This book begins by questioning special education itself. At what point do
individual differences become special needs? Also, the question is of which
differences directly affect education is raised. The author believes that there are
many aspects of special education that need to be revised. The author states that it
is this labeling aspect of special education that needs improvement.
The idea of labeling goes along with the debate over whether special needs
students need to be taught in an isolated environment or in an inclusive
environment with the other typical children. The author argues that special needs
children need to be taught in the same environment as their typical peers. It is
beneficial to them to achieve the main goals of their education. Inclusion allows
them to work on both social and academic skills. These are both equally important

for the student to learn. Inclusion also helps to reduce the stigma of labeling,
according to the author, as those students are normalized into typical classrooms.
The book goes on to discuss the history of special education. In earlier times,
the idea that certain children were uneducable used to be common practice. While
it is now understood that all children deserve a right to an education, regardless of
their disability, the implementation of that concept is still a work in progress. Some
children need more help than others, and that must come across in their education.
The author believes that certain aspects of the legislature on special education are
lacking and provides her thoughts and ideas on how to improve them.
