Training yourChihuahua tobe your Best Bud

We have all seen thetiny Chiwawa, small enough to fit in the crook of your arm but mighty enough totake on an intruder ten times its size. The Chi dog is a special breed of dogthat craves attention and will strive very hard to make you happy. But justlike any other dog, attitude comes with discipline and puppy training is thekey.

Start withthe Number One Basic Rule

The first sixteenweeks of your Chihuahua'slife are very formidable. Since many live to be eighteen years old, what you doin the beginning can shape them into either a personable companion or a snippylittle tyrant. Dogs are all creatures of their heredity when they used to runin packs and every pack has a leader. Puppy training your Chiwawa to recognizeyou, as the leader is the very first thing that they need to learn to put themat ease.

How do I knowmy Chihuahuais Happy with Puppy Training?

The Chi dog isintelligent and attentive to its leader, which is you. Beginning with pottytraining, spend the necessary time, encouraging and praising your dog andreward with treats. Be careful not to fuss over your Chi dog and do not rewardunless an order is obeyed. When one puppy-training goal has been reached, moveon to the next. Crate training is important in establishing their territory andwhen praised and rewarded, your dog will look forward to learning a new lesson.Remember, when you are happy, your Chiwawa is happy.

The Chihuahua, A SocialButterfly

Socialization andobedience is part of puppy training. Your Chiwawa needs to know what isexpected of them in public and around other dogs and people. This is a hugestep in building your bond that will last a lifetime. You will begin to form asa team, each knowing the other's moves, just like a best friend. Your dog wantsto be a huge part of your life and going on outings can be a real treat forboth of you when your Chi dog is trained to interact well withothers.

Should I letmy Chihuahuahave the Run of the House?

A Chiwawa does notlike to be alone but you can't take him/her to work with you or to church.Puppy training to stay alone without anxiety separation is another hurdle thatmust be jumped. Remember, you are the leader and your Chi needs guidance as towhat his/her role is when you are away. With proper training, your dog will notbe afraid, anxious or angry upon your leaving. It will just be a part of theroutine to go to the crate when you need to depart.

Keeping yourChihuahua Healthy

Do not overfeed yourChiwawa. An overweight dog gets tired and sluggish and is bad for their healthand attitude. Dogs are not people and their systems do not react the same asours. You are doing damage when sharing your food or overfeeding because youthink they are hungry. Get tips on the proper weight from your vet and stick toit. Having a Chi as your best bud can be very rewarding for a long time forboth of you when proper puppy training is correctly put into action.

Last thing -Be Consistent in Your Puppy Training!

I can't stress howimportant it is to be consistent in training your Chi. If you allow your Chi tobite and tear an old t-shirt, you are actually expecting it to do the samething your beautiful dinner gown one day. They do not know how to differentiatewhich fabric is allowed to bite and which is not.
