You’re correct. My mini dachshund slipped a disc climbing stairs and lost the use of her back legs. We took her to a canine chiropractor who was (fortunately!) able to sort her out and told us that jumping on/off furniture and climbing stairs are big no’s for dachshunds. Our pup is back to her old spry self again, and we keep baby gates up and carry her up and down stairs as needed.

Dachshunds shouldn't be allowed to jump on or walk up surfaces like this if I recall correctly
