In Vancouver, Chihuahuas are extremely popular. The tiny dogs are everywhere. Maybe you have one or are thinking of getting one. What about training it? Likelihood is that you live in a tiny loft in Kits or Yale town. Irrespective of how tiny it is; it still needs to be well behaved. Well, are training Chihuahuas easy? They’re terribly unique dogs for sure! But is training them any different than say a German shepherd? Not particularly.
Chihuahuas are still dogs and so they continue to follow “dog” rules. If you’ve got any experiences with dogs – and even if you don’t! – You may do nicely. You can correct their behavior very simply by just following some easy tips.
All dogs spontaneously feel that they are part of a pack of dogs, just like in the wild before they were tamed. Chihuahuas are no different. This is true whether they are the only dog for miles around. It’s hard-wired into their behavior. And each pack has a top dog, the one who controls the rest of the pack. By outlining who the top dog is; the remainder of the dog’s falls into line. Without an obviously outlined top dog, the other dogs will become nervous. By accepting this, then you’ll know who should be the top dog. You!
Try it. Next time you eat; don’t feed your Chihuahua if he would like something. Eat your food first. Then feed your Chihuahua. Let him eat. Then, take the food away after five mins.
This can let your Chihuahua know that you control the food and that you are the top dog. Another thing you can try is to not fuss over your dog when you come back home. Top dogs don’t do that. Let your dog that you’re home and let him welcome you. But don’t fuss. This also will reinforce you are the top dog.
With obviously defined rules of who is top dog – you – your tiny Chihuahua will fall into line and behave. So you can take him or her for walks in Kerri dale in Vancouver or on the seawall and keep he in your residence and everything will be fine! While there are dog training services in Vancouver, like comprehensive K9 or Bark busters, you can teach yourself – for faster and less expensive results!
