No surprises that the holy roller ball filled with alpaca wool turned out to be Queenies favourite activity.
Dachshunds are designed to seek out, dig out , chase and kill rodents. We don’t want to turn her into a serial killer, so giving her outlets like this ball helps fullfil her breed specific needs.

Did you know that Rudolph Schenkel debunked his own dominance theory back in 1967? He realised his error when it was brought to his attention that the behaviour of captive wolves was not the same as domesticated dogs.
If your dog trainer tells you that you need to dominate your dog or else they will try to be the Alpha then your dog trainer has either received no education into canine behaviour or at least not updated their knowledge since 1967.
