The reason for potty training Chihuahuas is very simple.
They are indoor dogs.
With their small size and thinner than usual coats, they just are not meant to live outside.
Potty training is very important if you are going to own one of these dogs.
You probably don't want a smelly and dirty house from your little buddy having too many accidents.
Are you confused about how to potty train your Chihuahua? Don't be.
It really isn't all that difficult.
A Chihuahua is actually easier to train than some other breeds.
They might be small, but these little guys are very intelligent dogs.
The learn commands very quickly, and they just love to please their owners.
The trick to successfully potty training your Chihuahua is to be consistent.
There are many different methods out there you can decide to use.
After you pick one, stick with it.
Constantly changing your approach will only confuse you, and it's even more confusing for your dog.
Of all the different methods to pick from, crate training is the most effective.
If you don't have a crate, you will have to go out and get one.
The most important thing to keep in mind when selecting a crate is the size.
It can't be too big, and it can't be too small.
A crate that isn't big enough will make your dog uncomfortable.
On the other hand, a crate that is too big also creates a problem.
No dog likes to go to the bathroom in the same place that they sleep.
Having a crate that is big enough for the dog to go potty in one spot and lay down in another will only tempt them into doing it.
