Stated below are some of the features you will need for guiding your dog:
The primary thing you will need is a shipping crate, it should be of adequate size so that your dog dont undergo any type of difficulty to stand up and turn around.
Secondly you should select a proper potty area for your dog.
You need to select an appropriate Potty Sign.
To choose favorite snacks for your teacup chihuahua puppy is most important.
To get rid of any accident areas you should buy a cleaner which is non ammonia based. It would be great if you buy the one made specially for pets. No Go is one such example that you can purchase from pet departmental stores.
You should have a proper schedule to be familiar with your chihuahua puppies requirements .
Above all you need a little bit of time and patience especially if you got your chuwawa from a chiwowa rescue shelter!.
Ok, we mentioned previously the crate (don't you love that word)
It would be best to purchase a crate made of moulded fiberglass. As your dog sees the crate he knows that the crate is a room of his very own when you are not with him or not paying your full attention.
When you purchase a crate for your dog it must be of proper size as a very large crate can have an effect on your purpose of housetraining. It is also essential to buy a crate divider because it reduces the size of the dog crate's "living" area while house- breaking puppies. It allows just enough room for sleeping.
One of the most significant point is maintaining a chart to know the daily schedule of your dog. You must note down his playtime, his timing of potty, wake up time etc. so that you dont face any trouble. All such timings can be recognized to you after observing his daily activities for at least a week.
Your dog can realize his potty area if you regularly pick your dog up and take him to the same place. Take a preferred snack of his with you, it could even be the hot dog.
It is essential to accompany your dog when you take your dog outside for potty. From starting it is significant to teach your dog his potty time so that he can understand his ideal timing for potty nothing else.
The moment your chiwawas begins to relieve himself,say the word that you have chosen for your potty word. It can be "go potty", "hurry", or anything you like. Just pick a word and don't change it! As the puppy is eliminating, repeat your chosen word in a lovely and praising tone of voice..
Praise your dog when he potties on the selected spot. After potty take him inside and offer favorite snack to him. It is important to take him outside exactly after food or playtime. You should repeat this sequence till evening.
As puppies has the tendency to go for potty and urination after food so it is suggested not to offer food and water to them after 10:00 p.m. It is also suggested to provide proper bedding to the dogs crate and before you go for sleep set it up in the bedroom near you for your chihuahua..
(I have observed that a cold puppy is soon a "wet" puppy.) Most puppies will settle in fairly well if they are close to your bed. When the puppy wakes up in the morning, he will kick up a fuss to go out. Remember your areas and treats!
