How to Train Your Chihuahua


It is beneficial to start your dog off by teaching proper obedience through Chihuahua training. You should know that just because your dog lives a life of liberation does not actually mean that your dog is incapable of learning. Training seems to be more beneficial when preformed at home instead of at a school.

What a lot of people do not realize is that those classes are more helpful when it comes to teaching bigger dogs that are out of control. Schools are more used to force teach bigger dogs into being calm. These programs are not beneficial for Chihuahua Training. You are better off if your Chihuahua Training on your own and in your own home using an at home chihuahua training program that promotes positive and not forceful training.

Those out dated techniques use force-training which can be impractical and do more damage than good. This is bad entertainment for your dog and will negatively affect the dog. Your dog will respond better with positive guidance methods. Be sure not to force your dog into pleasing you. This should be a positive experience for the two of you. A bonding experience, not a forceful one since they desire to please you. They only need you to teach them what pleases you. Negative discipline does not work! They rarely even need anything but light correction.

Emphasize positive chihuahua training by rewarding the dog with lots of treats and complements. Lessons work better when the dog is not full, otherwise he will not be food motivated when training, in that case you could also use a toy to motivate your dog. Remember to keep lessons brief. Try not to train your dog for longer than 5 or so minutes a day on a single trick
