#4 Your upbringing style also influences the character of your dog. Beatings and severe punishments have no place in keeping a four-legged friend.
In this way you only lose your dog's trust and raise a skittish, aggressive and emotionally injured four-legged friend. It is much better to reinforce the desired behavior and character traits of the Chihuahua with praise, petting or games. If it has to be a reprimand, ignoring is usually sufficient or you simply say a strict “off” or “no”.
#5 The housing conditions are also not to be underestimated in character development.
A dog that waits at home alone all day becomes lonely and may develop behavioral problems. A dog in the city has to be used to completely different things than a four-legged friend in the country, etc.
Overwork, underwork or illnesses can also have a negative impact on the Chihuahua's mental state. Bad habits, for example, often develop from boredom and insufficient attention and activity.
#6 Do Chihuahuas need baths?
O Chihuahua require baño e cepillado regulares. Este can pequeno seguro de si mesmo pódese bañar con tanta frecuencia como cada semana ata non máis de 6 semanas, dependendo do estilo de vida e do nivel de actividade.
