Looking for the Perfect Apartment Puppy for Your Family?
Finding a dog that fits into your apartment lifestyle—and your family routine—can feel overwhelming. Between barking concerns, potty training, and limited space, most families just want a puppy that’s quiet, adaptable, and already trained to thrive indoors.
I hear you.
As a mini dachshund breeder based in California, I specialize in raising crate-trained, quiet puppies with calm personalities that blend beautifully into apartment homes with children. And the best part? You can order online and have your puppy delivered safely to your door—with full support along the way.
Why Mini Dachshunds Are Great for Apartment Families
Mini dachshunds aren’t just adorable—they’re also one of the most apartment-friendly dog breeds, when raised right.
H3: Perfect Size for Small Spaces
These pups usually weigh under 12 pounds and don’t need a backyard to be happy. A short walk and some indoor playtime are plenty for them.
H3: Loyal and Kid-Loving
When socialized early (like I do in my program), dachshunds are fantastic with respectful children. They love being part of the pack and enjoy family routines.
H3: Calm, Low-Barking Temperament
Not all dachshunds are barky! I specifically select for puppies who are quiet, tolerant, and easily crate trained—a must in shared-wall homes or busy households.
How I Raise Crate-Trained Quiet Mini Dachshund Puppies
Every puppy is raised right here in my home, never in a kennel. I put a huge focus on socialization, gentle handling, and early routine building so your puppy is truly ready for apartment life by the time they arrive.
H3: Temperament Testing
Starting around 4 weeks, I observe each pup to see:
- Who settles quickly after play?
- Who doesn’t bark at sudden sounds?
- Who enjoys calm cuddles?
Only the most mellow pups are recommended for apartment families.
H3: Daily Crate Conditioning
I start crate training around 5 weeks. This includes:
- Short, cozy naps in the crate with a littermate
- Quiet time after play sessions
- Nighttime crate routines that help your pup self-soothe
By the time they’re ready to go home, your puppy already sees the crate as their safe space, not a punishment.
H3: Family and Noise Desensitization
My puppies grow up hearing:
- Kids laughing and playing
- Doorbells and vacuum cleaners
- Kitchen noises, music, visitors, and more
What Makes My Breeding Program Apartment Approved?
Beyond crate training and quiet temperaments, I tailor every part of my program to families like yours.
- Indoor potty prep (pads and timed potty breaks)
- Short leash exposure for city walks
- Kid-tested socialization with gentle handling
- Routine building that mirrors family life (morning, nap, mealtime rhythms)

FAQs About Ordering and Apartment Prep
“Will crate training continue at home?”
Yes! I’ll share the exact schedule your puppy is used to so you can keep things consistent.

Nope. These puppies are trained for indoor life and quick outdoor potty breaks.
“What if my kids are loud?”
Great! These pups are raised around normal family noise. Just teach kids to respect boundaries and you’re good to go.
“Is delivery extra?”
Yes, but the cost is modest and based on distance. I’ll give you a quote before we schedule.

Absolutely. I only use USDA-compliant, pet-safe shipping methods with tracking and updates.
