Welcome to
Little Puppies the Long Way!

Based in Monterey, California, Little Puppies the Long Way focuses on raising well-prepared Dachshunds and helping dogs and their families build the skills they need to succeed together. Training is at the heart of everything we do.

In addition to the foundation we give our own puppies, we now offer training for outside clients as well — with special consideration for rescue Dachshunds, though all dogs are welcome.

Whether you are adopting or shopping responsibly, our goal is the same: to help your companion develop the confidence, structure, and communication needed to truly thrive in your home.

Our puppies stay with us until at least 12 weeks old and receive early training in socialization, desensitization, potty training, and basic obedience before going to their new families.

Each puppy goes home with an adoption contract, health guarantee, starter supplies, and a detailed training guide to help you continue their progress.

Feel free to explore the site to learn more about our training services, available puppies, and recommended items in our shop.
