The Chihuahua is the smallest pet dog in the world, with a round head, large thin and erect ears, and round and large eyes. Chihuahuas are graceful, alert, and quick-moving. They are widely loved by people for their well-proportioned physique and petite size, so many people keep them as pets.

Chihuahua

To praise and touch

Training The purpose is to teach, not scold. The best way is to praise and touch frequently, so that the Chihuahua understands the owner's happy mood.

The password should be clear

In order for the Chihuahua to understand and remember, it is best to use short, clearly pronounced sentences for the password during training, and it is not advisable to say it repeatedly. When giving orders, avoid loud voices or an angry tone. Because Chihuahuas are very sensitive, the above approach will gradually make Chihuahuas associate scolding with training. In addition, the same password should use different tones for Chihuahuas with different temperaments. For example, for the same squat, the neurotic Chihuahua should be commanded gently or cheerfully, and the lively Chihuahua should be commanded loudly and resolutely, and the breeder should choose different ways according to the character of his Chihuahua.

Avoid unnecessary compliments

Praise a Chihuahua only when the Chihuahua is very obedient. If you praise the Chihuahua at every turn, it will confuse it and it will not know when it will be praised. As a result, critical training is difficult to carry out.

Timely corrections

When the Chihuahua is about to do something can't do, stop it loudly and decisively. If he reprimanded him after the fact, the Chihuahua would not understand why and would continue to do the can't do things. What is more serious is that when they are often reprimanded for unknown reasons, the Chihuahua will gradually develop a sense of distrust of the owner and become no longer obeying the owner's orders.

Abstain from corporal punishment

Corporal punishment to force Chihuahuas to obey is the most undesirable method. Like any animal, Chihuahuas are very wary of people. From the Chihuahua's standpoint, being beaten and kicked for unknown reasons can only create the impression of being abused. If it is a very powerful master, the Chihuahua may obey out of fear. However, Chihuahuas grown up in this environment are extremely insecure, sometimes attacking weak children or the elderly, and even dangerous incidents of biting people. Therefore, when the Chihuahua does not obey the command, while the command is loud, shoot the Chihuahua in the face with the water gun, and most of the Chihuahuas will be quiet.

Train anytime, anywhere

There is no time limit for training. In some daily life such as walking, eating, and visitors, you should patiently teach Chihuahua what should do and what should not do.

Never Give Up

Chihuahuas are not animals that are taught once or twice and then immediately remembered and followed. It needs to gradually form memories during the non-stop training process. Therefore, the breeder is required to be patient and train it continuously.

Building Adaptability

Chihuahuas often avoid things they don't like, or bark at them, or simply destroy them. This can sometimes cause a lot of trouble for the owner. In this case, first of all, be patient, never be impatient, let the Chihuahua slowly approach what it doesn't like, and at the same time keep talking to it in a gentle voice to calm it down. If you beat and scold the Chihuahua at this time, it will make the Chihuahua hide further. In addition, keeping the Chihuahua away from things and places it doesn't like can only add to the distress of the breeder, and the breeder can't do anything about it.

Do not compete with other Chihuahuas

Chihuahuas have different abilities, so train at a pace that suits them, and never compete with other Chihuahuas. Chihuahua ratio gap, so that our family's Chihuahua understanding is really poor. Be confident in your own Chihuahua.
