I had a dachsund from through most of my childhood.

She was also loyal but loved to cause trouble (mostly with neighborhood cats and peeing on the carpet)

For the peeing part, a good talking to while having her nose put down to the "scene of the crime" eventually worked.

But the cat part was eventually solved when we brought home a tomcat that was more aggressive then our dachsund. One good swipe on the nose by the new cat and no more messing with felines for her.

I have found with my own pet that these types of problems are "behavior" problems which are caused in order to get your attention. With my own pet they are acting out when she feels that I am being gone too much and she is being left at home. I would suggest a behavior specialist or asking your vet for advice which I did with my own pet.

I took both my dachshunds to a cadence class (I.E. learning to walk with the dog off leash and avoid distractions). By teaching your dog who's boss (I.E. head of the wolf pack), you establish a leader, and the bad behaviors will end once they know they have nothing to worry about because they just follow along.
