Our previous pair of dachshunds we had a red smooth female and a long hair male. The female was pretty smart, and she learned to roll over do other tricks with hand signals or voice commands. The most important verbal command was stay. She would sit down and stop even if she really wanted to chase after something. The male of that pair was really sweet, but dumber than a box of rocks. He only ate to survive so food was no motivation for him.
The current pair are not stupid, but not quite bright enough to really train well. They do the important tasks. They both know passing through the gate from the back yard to the front is something that is only done with the leash and when they follow a human through.
I can take our trash cans out to the driveway from the back yard and they just watch. No hint of trying to escape.
Good "over hump day" day to ya!
