Chihuahuas are a neat breed of dog that does require teaching just like any other breed. However, since Chihuahuas are usually kept indoors more time than they are outdoors, proper education is pertinent to the well behaved indoor pet. Following a few tips will help you to be successful with your Chihuahua puppy training.
Most every Chihuahua you meet is living indoors. One reason for this is they are small and do not fare well in hot and cold outdoor temperatures. In light of this fact, the Chihuahua puppy you take home will need the best in housebreaking. Being consistent by always taking him out at the same times during the day is the way to being successful with house training.
The food you choose to feed a puppy has everything to with how well your training efforts turn out. By choosing to feed on strict schedule and by feeding only quality food, your pup stands a much better chance at being successfully house trained. Giving tables foods can cause diarrhea and stomach troubles that end up in the floor as a potty mistake.
Being gentle is vital to how well a dog responds to you. A young pup is impressionable and if you yell or scream at him, he will be less likely to warm up to you. Bonding with your pup is important to how well you are able to train him. Keep an even tone in your voice any time you are speaking to a pup for the best results.
Never hit your pup or make loud and scary noises to keep him from doing something he should not. Behavior in an animal is solely based on good treatment and food, so rewarding him every time he does well with treats is the best to way to good behavior all the time.
The love and friendship you can receive from a dog is limitless and unconditional. For you to get this love, you will need to give it through the best care you can give. Make sure you are ready to take on the responsibility of taking care of a pup before you decide to get one.
