Chihuahua Coaching – Tame Your Tiny Beast
Chihuahua training can be one of the nicest things you do with your new (or old) pet. Not merely will you wind up with a better pet, you will build a powerful bond with your dog as you go through the training. It’s very important that you start training your dog as soon as possible because every day you wait is one more day you have to tolerate aggression, biting, barking, chewing, jumping, and bathroom “accidents”.
Chihuahua training can present some unique challenges that you don’t get with other dogs. This doesn’t mean they are bad dogs or you shouldn’t own one, you just need to realize their nature in order to better train one. These little dogs are frail. They aren’t suited to be around youngsters as children tend to be a bit rough on pets and this can badly hurt or kill a Chihuahua. Even straightforward stuff like jumping out of your arms or off the couch can seriously harm this tiny dog.
Chihuahuas are also one of the hardest dogs to house train. While some dogs will easily take to going outside to go to the bathroom, these little dogs appear to have a difficult time grasping the postulate that they should not poop on the floor.
Another potentially worrying trait for Chihuahua training is stubbornness. These dogs are really smart and have a mind of their own. They can also be manipulative so you have to take a powerful hand and be consistent with training. If you give them an inch, they’re going to take a mile. They are also subject to nonstop barking and erratic behavior. While their tiny bark is lovable at first, it can really begin to wear on your nerves.
Now that you are mindful of a bunch of potential problems, it’s time to talk about the solution. You really need to have structured training. The best course of action is to get a program like the secrets to Dog Training and do your Chihuahua training at home. This enables you to work on your own timetable and saves a handful of money over formal dog training classes. If this fails, move on to formal dog training classes or even doggie boot camp.
All that it takes is some love and dedication and you may have a great little pet. Good luck with your Chihuahua training.
