Chihuahuas are easy to train. Assuming a few basic rules. Because it cannot be denied that the breed can be a bit stubborn and has a big ego.
Owners should therefore approach the training with a lot of love, patience, and even more consistency and show the little dog who is in charge here. This works best with positive support in the form of praise, treats, and of course, attention from its owner. Because the Chihuahua likes to spend time with its people and loves it when they are busy with them.
Set clear rules from the start and use short, clear words for commands.
Because the Chihuahua can be very affectionate, sometimes you need to be extra patient. For example, when training to stay alone. Get him used to it in small steps and don’t throw him in at the deep end.
In addition, raising the Chihuahua becomes even more strenuous when it hits puberty (also known as the boorish phase). This is where owners need staying power when the Chihuahua tests its limits again and seems to have forgotten what it has already learned overnight.
By the way, a dog school is always a good idea. No matter whether you are a beginner or already had a four-legged friend.
