Important Tips In Training Your Chihuahua

By Abner Santos


Dogs are considered as man's best friend and this is always true in different circumstances. It does not matter whether you have a small or a big dog because they are always known for their loyalty. With all the different kinds of breeds of dogs, Chihuahua is one of the most popular and one of the cutest breeds.

Even though Chihuahuas are very tiny in nature, they are very brave and loyal to their owners much like all the other dogs. Like any other dogs, they can also be trained in various ways and probably, they are fast learners compared to other dogs. However, before you start training your Chihuahua, there are a couple of things that you need to understand first. 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. You must keep in mind that if you are buying a dog from a pet store, you need to ask them about the age of the dog before buying them. You do not need to worry about the age of the dog but if you are planning to train them after buying, look for a younger one.

Rewarding

The main thing that you need to keep in mind is to give them rewards when your orders are accomplished. You need to be very strict when it comes to the rewards especially if you want your dog to learn faster. Do not give any rewards to them if they did not successfully accomplish the orders but every time they make it right, you need to give them their rewards and do not forget it. When you do this, they will always look forward to learning new lessons from you.

Your Chi's Social Life

Your dogs also wanted to go outside and see the world so you should not keep them inside your house and show them the world. This is also a great way to train your dogs on how they should behave when they are outside the house. 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

A lot of websites already provided some information about the nutrients and the food that your dogs need to eat. 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.
