You’ve already invested in your dachshund’s conditioning. You’ve done Foundations or another beginner course, and you know how important strength and body awareness are for their longevity.
But now you’re wondering:
- “What should I do next to keep them progressing safely?”
- “How do I move beyond the basics without risking injury?”
- “Are these exercises still challenging enough for my dog?”
- “Is there a clear plan to build real strength, not just ‘cute tricks’?”
If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
You’re not the only dachshund owner asking these questions
Many committed dachshund owners reach a point where the foundation exercises just aren’t enough. Their dogs are stronger, eager, and ready for more, but the owner is nervous about doing “too much” and causing harm.
Next Level for Dachshunds was created to give you a structured, evidence-based path forward so you can keep your dog progressing confidently and safely.
Imagine if you could…
Confidently challenge your dachshund with advanced exercises, knowing they’re appropriate and safe
See real improvements in core, back, and whole-body strength
Watch your dog move with better balance, coordination, and control
Feel reassured that you’re preventing injuries, not creating them
Have a clear, repeatable workout plan, instead of guessing what to do next
That’s what Next Level for Dachshunds is designed to help you achieve.

Lived experience of pain and recovery
Having personally navigated slipped discs and chronic pain, I understand what it means to rebuild strength gradually, respect the body’s limits, and still make progress. That same philosophy underpins every exercise in this program. -
Over 10 years with my own dachshunds, Mabel & Myrtle
Both of my girls have had IVDD, and I was once the owner who did everything wrong. It wasn’t until they reached this level of strength that I saw real changes in how they moved, how quickly they recovered from hikes, and how much calmer and more comfortable they became at home. -
Proven, long-term results
After IVDD surgery, dachshunds can have up to a 50% risk of recurrence. Mabel is now 6 years post‑op with no recurrence (despite also having arthritis and hip dysplasia), and Myrtle is approaching 2 years post‑op, moving better than she did before her IVDD. This program is built from the same principles and progressions I used with them.

What makes The Next Level for Dachshunds different
Built specifically for dachshunds
Every exercise and progression considers their unique body shape and genetics.
Designed for “post-beginner” dogs
This isn’t another intro course. It’s made for dogs who already know the basics and are truly ready for more.
Structured, not random
You’re not guessing what to do each week. You get clear plans, progressions, and repeatable workouts.
Safety is built in
You’ll always know how to scale up or down, and when to pause or modify.
This Is Perfect For You If:
- Your dachshund has completed Foundations for Dachshunds or another beginner conditioning course
- You’re prepared to commit to regular conditioning sessions
- You want to prevent injuries and support a long, active life
- You’re comfortable with basic exercises and want a more advanced, structured plan
This Is not the best fit for you:
- Your dog currently has pain, lameness, or a new injury that hasn’t been assessed by a vet
- You’re looking for a one-off “quick fix” rather than a progressive program
- Your dachshund has no conditioning experience at all (start with a The Foundations for Dachshunds course first)
- Your dachshund is under 12 months old
- You dachshund is over 7 years old with no conditioning experience
Disclaimer: The Next Level for Dachshunds is designed for generally healthy dachshunds. It is not a substitute for veterinary care or individual rehabilitation advice. If your dog is currently in pain, has an injury, is recovering from surgery, or has been diagnosed with a medical condition, please consult your vet or a qualified canine rehab professional before starting any new exercise program.
Don't just take it from me...
Here’s what other dachshund owners say about working with me and following structured conditioning plans:
I have three somewhat old Dachshunds that came from different homes and backgrounds. As a personal trainer I always thought about what sort of exercises I could have my dogs do but didn't really have any epiphanies until I saw Mabel and Myrtle on my Instagram feed. The course was excellent and I gained a ton of insight into how to help my dogs live out their golden years by being super fit.
The fitness journal and video tutorials made it so easy to build small, daily habits that I know are helping my puppy long‑term.
My mum hadn’t seen Millie since starting the course and immediately noticed how much stronger and happier she looked — she’s even stopped “bunny hopping” on walks!
The course is easy to follow, with really helpful videos and tips and Lucy is always there to help. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Enroll Now For £199Even if you’ve done the foundations, your dachshund still needs more
Teaching your dachshund the foundations of conditioning is a powerful first step. But foundations alone aren’t enough to give a long‑backed, low‑to‑the‑ground dog the strength they truly need.
If you stop at the basics:
- Their core and back strength may never progress beyond “good enough”
- Everyday stresses like stairs, jumping, and play can still overload a body that isn’t fully supported
- Small weaknesses and compensations can build up quietly over time
Dachshunds are starting with less natural muscle support than many breeds. They don’t just need some conditioning, they need the next level of strength work to really protect their bodies.
Next Level for Dachshunds is designed to take your dog beyond the basics, so their strength actually matches the demands of their daily life.

Your dachshund has the foundations. This is the structured, advanced plan that takes their strength, control, and stability to the next level.
