The simple terms.

Last updated: August 9, 2026

Welcome to Why Dachshunds (“we,” “us,” “I”). By using this website and our content, you agree to these terms. We’ve kept them short and in plain English.

Using this site

You’re welcome to read, enjoy, and share our content for personal use. Please don’t copy, republish, or resell it as your own, and don’t use the site in any way that’s unlawful or that could harm the site or other visitors.

Not veterinary advice

Everything here is educational and reflects one owner’s experience — it is not veterinary advice. Always defer to your own vet on your individual dog. You’re responsible for decisions you make about your pet’s health and care.

Free Decoder & emails

When you sign up for the free Dachshund Behavior Decoder or our emails, you’re asking us to send them to you. You can unsubscribe any time with the one-click link in every email. How we handle your information is covered in our Privacy Policy.

Paid downloads

Some things here are for sale (like the Long-Back Safety Kit). Payments are processed securely by Stripe — your card details never touch our servers. Digital products are delivered instantly by download link, and because of that, all sales are final. Purchases are for your personal, household use — please don’t redistribute or resell the files. If anything goes wrong with your delivery, email us and a human will make it right.

Our content & brand

The Why Dachshunds name, logo, characters (Marley & Mia), videos, articles, and images belong to us and are protected by copyright and trademark. You may not use them without our permission.

Links & affiliates

Some pages link to other websites or products, and some links may be affiliate links, meaning we could earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We’re not responsible for the content or practices of sites we don’t control. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.

Our videos on YouTube

Our videos are published on YouTube, and watching them there is also governed by the YouTube Terms of Service.

No guarantees

We provide this site and content “as is.” We do our best to keep everything accurate and available, but we can’t promise it will always be error-free or uninterrupted, and we’re not liable for any loss that results from using the site.

Changes

If we update these terms, we’ll change the date at the top. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
