Tulipsy22 I hope the owners are sorting out the "bark and snap" t people. Dogs must be taught that this is not allowed, Humans are not there to be snapped at (or bitten\).
Dachshunds are just opinionated AF sometimes. It's in their nature. However, they're also small, cute, prone to being harassed by people, and aren't the short of dogs that want to make friends with strange humans - as a breed they're noted for being aloof with strangers.
A lot of the time, however, when they are driven to barking and snapping, it's because people have failed to understand what the dog is trying to tell them, using more subtle means.
This is represented by the canine ladder of aggression - dogs will start off by whispering that they're unhappy about something (yawning, turning head away, walking away), then if ignored, they'll start speaking quite loudly about it (tail tucked between legs, for instance) and if still ignored they'll start shouting really very loudly about it (barking and snapping).
If you were being "chatted up" by a bloke in a pub, you'd probably start by rejecting his advances politely (e.g. not really engaging in conversation, turning down his offer of a drink, showing more interest in a friend than him).
If he persisted, you'd probably start showing more definite signals - walking away, explicitly saying you're not interested, and so on.
And if he was still harassing you after all that, you'd probably start shouting at him loudly and you might even slap him if he was really pushing his luck.
Whose fault is it that the bloke was shouted at and possibly slapped? The bloke's, for not taking the bloody hint! Same principle applies to dog-human interactions.
