The Challenge: Because Dachshunds are so low to the ground, they often sit below the "beam line" of car headlights until it's too late.

• LED Placement: Don't just rely on a lit collar; it gets hidden by their ears. Use an LED clip on the top of their harness (next to the GPS tracker) so it’s visible from all angles.

• Reflective Fleeces: Standard dog coats often lack enough reflective surface area for small breeds. Look for "High-Vis" specific fleeces that cover the chest and flanks.

• The Lead Rule: Use a reflective lead. This creates a "visual bridge" between you and the dog, alerting cyclists that there is a pet between you and the pavement.
