I have 3 Dachshunds so I can relate. They are the best dogs ever! What exactly does Max do that is causing his troublesome behaviour. The best thing I can suggest is one of two options. One - you might want to think about getting Max fixed. Not cheap, but definitely worth it. This will almost guarantee to sort out any behaviour issues. The other thing, much cheaper is simply get him to walk with other dogs and socialise. This will also help his behaviour a lot. In the beginning it will be tough no doubt, but you just need to introduce him to more dogs and the more you go, the better he'll get. Dachshunds are small dogs that think they are huge so as long as you are taking him for loads of walks he should start getting into a routine. Also in the afternoon he will get tired and want to sleep so peaceful for you! ;-) Let me know if this advice helps.
