What will you require to train your dog?

The primary thing you will need is a shipping crate, it must be of adequate size so that your dog dont suffer any sort of difficulty to stand up and turn around.

A "Potty area". This will need to remain the same until your dog is fully trained;.

To pick a proper Potty Word.

You must get those snacks that your teacup chihuahua likes the most.

To get rid of any accident areas you must purchase a cleaner which is non ammonia based. It would be best if you buy the one which is made for pets only. No Go is one such example that you can buy from pet departmental stores.

You should have a proper schedule to be familiar with your chihuahua puppies needs .

Above all you require a little bit of time and patience especially if you got your chuwawa from a chiwowa rescue shelter!.

Okay, we mentioned previously the crate (don't you love that word)

If you can obtain the molded, fiberglass type of crate used when shipping by air that is the best type. This will be converted into your dog's "den" and - believe it or not - he will grow to admire it. Your dog will stay in his crate at all times when you are not giving him your full attention.

When you get a crate for your dog it should be of standard size as a very large crate can have an effect on your purpose of housetraining. It is also essential to buy a crate divider because it reduces the size of the dog crate's "living" area while house- breaking puppies. It permits just sufficient room for sleeping.

After that the most important feature is your dog's schedule. A young dog pup will need to go out every three hours - after each meal, after he drinks plenty of water, after he wakes up, and after playtime. I sometimes find it helpful to keep a record of what the pup "does" and when. You will observe a pattern after about a week and this might be helpful in establishing a schedule.

When your dog's crate door is opened, hold your dog up and take him to the spot of your yard that will be the "potty area". You should always take him to this same area for potty time. After potty you should offer your dog his preferred snack for example the hot dog or cookies.

It is necessary to accompany your dog when you take your dog outside for potty. From starting it is significant to teach your dog his potty time so that he can understand his perfect timing for potty nothing else.

When your chiwawas tries to understand you select a suitable word for potty such as "Go Potty!" Train your puppy by uttering the similar word just as they pee or poop. After they have heard the word maybe a few dozen times, you can begin using it to encourage them just before they are really doing their stuff.

Praise your dog when he potties on the selected spot. After potty take him inside and give favorite snack to him. It is essential to take him outside exactly after food or playtime. You must repeat this sequence till evening.

I personally don't give food and water after 10:00 p.m. to my chihuahua. This seems to help the puppy stay clean all through the night. At bedtime, shift the crate to your bedside. Confirm that your dog is in a draft-free place and has plenty of warm bedding.

(I have observed that a cold puppy is soon a "wet" puppy.) Most puppies will settle in comfortably well if they are close to your bed. When the puppy wakes up in the morning, he will kick up a fuss to go out. Keep in mind your spot and treats!
