Chihuahua Training 101: Tips To Consider

By Vincent Soriano


Dogs are actually known as man's best friend and this is a fact. Whether you have a big or small dog, it does not even matter since they are known to be loyal to their owners. You can also find tons of different breeds of dogs and one of the most popular and cutest breed is the Chihuahua.

Chihuahuas might be very tiny in size but their bravery and loyalty is the same as any huge dog breeds in the world. Basically, they are known to be fast learners compared to other dog breeds and you can also train them in various ways. Training your Chihuahua will not be an easy task so you need to understand some important things before you train them. If you are looking for effective ways to train your Chihuahua, here is a list of the tips that you need to understand.

Start with the Basic Rule

The basic rule is to make your dog think that you are the leader and this can be accomplished during the first 16 weeks of your dog. Always remember that if you are a buying a dog from a pet store, you need to ask about the age of the dog before you buy them. If the dog is more than 4 months old it is not a problem but if you are intended to train it, you better look for a younger one.

Rewarding

The main rule in your dog training is to give them rewards every time a task from you is completed. You have to be very strict on the rewarding especially if you want your Chihuahua to learn fast. Always be sure that you will not give rewards unless they accomplish your order and every time they accomplish something, do not forget the rewards for their deeds. When you do this, they will always look forward to learning new lessons from you.

Your Chi's Social Life

Well, dogs also wanted to see the outside world as much as you do so you must not keep them confined inside your house. You can use this to teach your dog the right way to behave when they are not on their territory. You must walk with them on the morning and also bring them on family outings because when they feel that they are accepted on the family, training them will not be a big problem.

Keep it Healthy

Your dog needs a lot of nutrients on their body and there are websites that can provide this information to you. You should not over feed your Chihuahua since it is bad for their health and you must not over feed them before the training because if they are already full, they will not be looking forward to the rewards.
