LOL, yes, they can be a bit… willful. 
If you still have pics, I would love to see them!
“Hard” is a nice way to put it. In addition to the eyes and plaintive noises, Ollie employs a liberal amount of stepping all over me, bopping me in the face with his snout and barking.
I give up. It’s obvious to all who owns whom.
(I do prevail in brushing his teeth, no matter what tactics he employs.)
@ParallelLines, where are the pics of yours? Have you posted them and I missed it?
In my experience, Dachsies tend to have a voice and an attitude about 10 times the actual size of the dog. 
Not unlike Siamese cats!
Boy, is that an apt description!
My last one, Lewis, was so undachshundlike. He was just a sweet little compliant lover who lived to make me happy, and I was delighted to reciprocate.
So Ollie was somewhat of a rude surprise. He is classic dachshund. Attitude for days. If there’s something he doesn’t want to do, he assumes this very defiant stance, complete with the fixed stink eye. When he realizes he’s going to lose our battle of wills, he employs Cute Mode: He rolls onto his back and waves his paws in the air. “Adore me! I know you do!” I hate to admit how well it works.
Can’t argue with that.
I was referring to my house panthers (though come to think of it, I also have that dichotomy in my snakes!) one of whom is sleek and lean, and only eats when hungry, and the other whom I swear is part shark!
From upthread, a side-by-side of the two:
This is how I spend my weekend mornings - spoiling the boarding dogs where I work:
They are precious and beautiful. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
Many years ago, I had a wonderful boa constrictor, name of Monty. He was chill and sweet and loved nothing more than wrapping himself around my middle. I was just a warm tree, so far as he was concerned. I hated having to rehome him when I moved.
@Jack_Batty, you have definitely found your calling! That’s one adoring looking dog!
Ollie … those eyes are eyes that no one could ever say “no” to! 
That puppy is in love, no doubt about it!
He’s an easy mark; he loves everybody.
What’s the name of this furry bundle of love? Honestly, I’ve rarely seen a pup with such a totally adoring look!
Considering they were bred to hunt badgers in their own dens, can you blame them?
No, and they are cute little guys. They just think they’re a lot bigger than they are. They’re right about how tough they are, just a little off on their size.
No argument from me on all that! They have the same oversized attitude of those small herding dogs that fearlessly nip at cattle’s heels.
That’s Mr. Ryder. He’s a little nipper on the other pups sometimes.
In my next life, I’m having your job 
You better start saving up now; you’ll need it.
Say hello to my newest baby. His original name is Jose, but I’ve renamed him Sir Reginald Smudge. You may call him “Reggie”, “Sir Smudge”, "hey butthead . . ".
That’s a cute cat, but like all cats, I hear their thoughts and they all say “I crave violence!”
Every so often I catch one of our cats staring and me, and I get the impression she’s thinking: “I wonder what flavour he is.”
