What will you need to guide your dog?

A standard sized crate to fit your dog when he/she is an adult. It should ONLY be large enough for the dog to stand up well and turn around (for reasons that will turn out to be apparent later on).

A "Potty area". This should be similar until your dog is fully trained;.

A "Potty Word or Sign";.

To choose preferred snacks for your teacup chihuahua puppy is most important.

The next significant thing you will need is a non ammonia cleaner. Choose those which are specially for pets, No Go is one such example which you can purchase from pet stores.

You must have a proper schedule to know your chihuahua puppies needs .

Time and patience is the significant thing you will require if you got your chuwawa from a chewawa rescue area besides all the above mentioned features.

Okay, we mentioned previously the crate (don't you love that word)

If you can obtain the molded, fiberglass type of crate used when shipping by air that is the best type. This will be converted into your dog's "den" and - believe it or not - he will grow to admire it. Your dog will remain in his crate every time when you are not giving him your full attention.

This is really really important. The crate must not be too big. Your dog should have sufficient room to stand up and turn around. If the crate is too large, you will defeat the purpose since your dog will relieve himself in one end and lie in the other. For most young puppies, you will require a crate divider. These are very useful because you can buy a crate which will fit your adult dog and use it while he is still a pup.

You should have an appropriate schedule of your dog because it helps to meet your dogs requirements. The schedule should be designed by noticing every day habit of your puppy.

When your dog's crate door is opened, pick your dog up and take him to the location of your yard that will be the "potty area". You should always take him to this same place for potty time. After potty you must offer your dog his favorite snack for example the hot dog or cookies.

During its potty time you must not play with your dog. A proper training must be given to make him realize his timing of potty.

The instant your chiwawas begins to relieve himself,utter the word that you have chosen for your potty word. It may be "go potty", "hurry", or anything else. Just choose a word and don't change it! As the pup is eliminating, repeat your chosen word in a lovely and praising tone of voice..

Praise your dog when he potties on the chosen location. After potty take him inside and give favorite snack to him. It is important to take him outside exactly after food or playtime. You must repeat this sequence till evening.

As puppies has the tendency to go for potty and urination after food so it is suggested not to give 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..

Otherwise, it can make your puppy do bed wetting also. Keep his crate near your bed as he will feel comfortable. Most of the times, they desire to go out instantly after they wake up. Take him to the same potty spot to familiarize him and give rewards as taught in the training methods.
