Any dog needs to be educated regardless of the breed. The animal must know where it will sleep, eat, drink, and so on. All of this must be taught from an early age, when the pet is very receptive to everything that you are trying to teach him.
It is generally accepted that Chihuahuas are such dogs that do not eat ordinary food and must walk in special clothing. These are the same dogs, like everyone else. They also love attention and affection. Plus, dogs of this breed are very gentle, they need to be given a little more care. Their paws quickly freeze in the cold, for this reason, many people buy shoes. They have a small stomach, they cannot overeat, as stomach problems will begin, and this, accordingly, is a decent cost for treatment. As with all breeds, vaccinations must be done on time to prevent disease.
By nature, the Chihuahua is proud and brave, and sometimes a fighting pet that will defend its owner, sleep next to him and protect his peace. Chihuahua animals love to play. They have a developed intellect. Some people mistakenly assume that since they are small in size, then they have the same brain. This is a deep misconception.
Chihuahua pets are very loyal. For example, you like to sleep late in the morning. Your pet will lie next to you, waiting for you to wake up. The only thing is that he can take some action to wake you up, because he wants to eat or go out on business.
Let's go back to parenting. Now you more or less have an idea of what kind of pets they are. As soon as you have a puppy of this breed, immediately decide for yourself what you want from him. Teaching commands, the ability to go to the toilet on the street, to know simple commands such as come to me, let's go for a walk, go to eat or combine all this?
From the moment a Chihuahua pet appears, teach him that his natural needs need to be celebrated on the street. Naturally, the puppy cannot stand it, since he is still small. Therefore, lay him a diaper where he can relieve himself of the smell of his secretions. Dogs have a developed sense of smell. As a rule, if they want to go to the toilet, they begin to walk in circles around the place, sniffing at it.
Chihuahuas are usually very clean. Eat neatly. Remember, dogs are like small children. A copy of their masters. If you constantly eat at the computer, then in bed, then in the kitchen. This means that your dog will drag food throughout the apartment.
Since dogs are very sensitive, do not punish them, in any case, do not hit. It is unacceptable! Chihuahuas are quite touchy. Have patience and perseverance, only then you will succeed. If the puppy succeeds in something, give him a treat. Chihuahuas love vegetables like carrots, cabbage and many more.
Many Chihuahuas, but unfortunately not all, bypass puddles during a walk, do not step on mud. In winter, if you wish, you can purchase a warm jacket for your pet, and if you have a long-haired Chihuahua, you can do without it.
Train your puppy to respond to its own name. Don't overdo it with parenting. Try to keep the middle ground. Do not overdo it with excessive severity or, conversely, constant attention to the dog. She will already be spoiled in the latter case.
Be sure to teach the leash. This should be done gradually, starting at 4-5 weeks; therefore, they will not like your desire. The Chihuahua will fight hard. The main thing is not to resort to violence.
Remember! For a dog of any breed, the owner is the only person to whom the dog will not be indifferent, even after many years. Many have heard stories that there was a separation from a pet in several years, and when they met, the dog remembered its owner.
They have an amazing memory. Train them.
