Stubborn Dachshund Becomes Viral Star for His Reluctance to Walk
A dachshund from Los Angeles has gone viral after his owner shared the comical daily struggle she faces just to take him on a walk. The pup, named Georgie, has captured hearts online thanks to a TikTok clip posted by his owner, 28-year-old Mikaela Wild (@mik.wild), which has already surpassed 523,000 views.
The video shows Wild kneeling beside the bed, pleading with Georgie to come out from his hiding spot. True to dachshund personality, Georgie looks less than thrilled. After some coaxing and cuddles, he reluctantly allows his harness to be clipped on, though his expression makes it clear he isn’t eager to step outside.
Speaking to Newsweek, Wild joked that the ordeal has become part of her daily life. “It’s the equivalent of corporal punishment for him,” she said, adding that the only time Georgie shows enthusiasm is when they’re headed back home.
Experts confirm that dachshunds are known for their quirky, stubborn streaks. Dachshund Health UK advises that structured long walks aren’t necessary for young dogs of the breed, as excessive exercise can harm developing joints. Instead, shorter walks and playful activities are recommended. Georgie, however, seems to think even the most basic strolls are too much effort.
TikTok viewers found the clip both hilarious and relatable. One commenter joked, “He’s literally only doing this to make you happy,” while another dachshund owner admitted, “Mine pretends he can’t walk, then runs as soon as we turn back home. The sausages are insane.”
Despite his stubborn ways, Georgie’s antics have only added to his charm. His viral moment has given dog lovers a good laugh while perfectly highlighting the cat-like independence and dramatic flair dachshunds are so famous for.
