My 3 year old miniature Dachshund wants to lick her bottom and chase her tail all the time. Why?

You might want to have her anal glands checked. It is common for them to back up and/or get infected. The tail chasing is common with dachshunds. If it gets excessive they consider it a sign of doggie OCD.
It is highly likely he has an infection or parasite in his rear end - irritating him so much that he tries to grab his tail - this would be distressing him so it is important to get him treated by a vet. A simple cream may fix this or an anal gland extraction , but frankly get him checked as it's obviously driving him crazy.
