In Vancouver, Chihuahuas are extremely popular. The little dogs are everywhere. Maybe you have one or are thinking about getting one. What about training it? Chances are you live in a small apartment in Kits or Yale town. Irrespective of how little it is; it still needs to be well behaved. Well, are training Chihuahuas easy? They're terribly unique dogs for sure! But is training them any different than say a German shepherd? Not particularly.
Chihuahuas are still dogs and so they continue to follow "dog" rules. If you have any experiences with dogs - and regardless of whether you don't! - You'll do just fine. You can correct their behavior very easily by just following some simple tips.
All dogs instinctively feel that they are part of a pack of dogs, as in the wild before they were domesticated. Chihuahuas aren't different. This is true whether they are the only dog for miles around. It's hardwired into their behavior. And every pack has a top dog, the one that controls the remainder of the pack. By outlining who the top dog is; the rest of the dog's falls into line. Without an obviously outlined top dog, the other dogs will become worried. By grasping this, then you will know who should be the top dog. You!
Try it. Next time you eat; don't feed your Chihuahua if he would like something. Eat your food first. Then feed your Chihuahua. Let him eat. Then, take the food away after 5 mins.
This can let your Chihuahua know that you control the food and you are the top dog. Another thing you can try is to not fuss over your dog when you return home. Top dogs don't do that. Let your dog that you're home and let him welcome you. But do not fuss. This also will strengthen you are the top dog.
With obviously defined rules of who is top dog - you - your tiny Chihuahua will fall into line and behave. So that you can take him for walks in Kerri dale in Vancouver or on the seawall and keep he in your residence and everything will be fine! While there are dog training services in Vancouver, like convincing K9 or Bark busters, you can teach yourself - for faster and less expensive results!
