Chihuahua Training

Chihuahua training can be one of the most rewarding things you do with your new (or old) pet. Not only will you wind up with a better pet, you will establish a strong bond with your dog as you go through the training. It is important that you start training your dog as soon as possible because every day you wait is one more day you have to put up with aggression, biting, barking, chewing, jumping, and bathroom “accidents”.

Chihuahua training can present some unique challenges that you don’t get with other dogs. This doesn’t mean that they are bad dogs or you shouldn’t own one, you just need to understand their nature in order to better train one.

These little dogs are fragile. They really are not suited to be around children as kids tend to be a little bit rough on pets and this could seriously hurt or kill a Chihuahua. Even simple things like jumping out of your arms or off the couch can seriously injure this little dog.

Chihuahuas are also one of the hardest dogs to house train. While some dogs will easily take to going outside to go to the bathroom, these little dogs seem to have a hard time grasping the concept that they shouldn’t poop on the floor.

Another potentially troublesome trait for Chihuahua training is stubbornness. These dogs are very smart and have a mind of their own. They also can be manipulative so you have to take a strong hand and be consistent with training. If you give them an inch, they will take a mile.

They are also prone to non stop barking and erratic behavior. While their little bark is cute at first, it can really start to wear on your nerves.

German Shepherds are big, strong, and athletic. They thrive on challenges and will do almost anything you want them to do. With that said, there are some things you need to know about training German Shepherds and the dog breed in general.

As puppies, they can be very rambunctious and excitable. Because they do get big very quickly, this can lead to problems knocking over small children or elderly people they may be around. This isn’t due to any aggression issue, it is just because of their size and nature. This is one area you really need to address with your German Shepherd training.

Another problem that can come up because of their size and nature is that they can be very destructive if left alone. A bored puppy or young dog can destroy a house if left alone without any stimulation.

As with any dog, it is important to make sure you socialize your new dog. This means putting them in non-threatening situations where they are around people and other dogs. This will make sure they don’t develop aggression issues towards strangers or other dogs.

One way to get a well trained German Shepherd is to enroll in professional training classes. This can be quite expensive though and tie you to a specific class time one or more times a week. If you miss a week, you may come in the next week and find out your dog doesn’t know what the other dogs do and you are now on your own catching up.

My preferred method for training German Shepherds and most dogs is to invest in a dog training course. They cost a lot less than professional training class and for the vast majority of dogs provide all the training resources you need. If you have a problem dog, you may have to look into professional help, but I would try the DIY method first. You are going to have to be involved in training process either way so why not try to do it at home when you want to.

There are 2 keys to German Shepherd training. First, you must be consistent and use simple commands. Second, you must use positive reinforcement. Your dog wants to please you more than you can imagine so make sure you praise them when they do a good job. These rules apply to pretty much every pet you could have.

Before you start, you need to recognize two facts about your dog. First, by nature a dog goes to the bathroom when it wants to and where it wants to so you are going to have to change his or her nature. Second, your dog absolutely adores you and will do anything to get your approval. You will use the fact that your dog wants to please you to overcome his or her natural tendencies. When you are ready for a complete dog training program, check the links at the bottom for some great resources.

There are three main ways to go about potty training a dog. If your dog spends a lot of time in a kennel, you can train him to go in a corner so it is in one spot. If you have a fenced in yard and will just let your dog go outside when she needs to go to the bathroom, you can train her to go to the door and let you know when she has to go. The third way is to potty train your dog using a mat.

Whichever way you choose to potty train a dog, you need to use positive reinforcement. Praise your dog when he goes outside. You can scold him if goes to the bathroom in the house, but only if you catch him in the act. If you get after him after the fact, he won’t know what he is in trouble for and it will just confuse him.

• Jumping
• Aggression

The first thing you probably should do when you get a new puppy is to potty train him or her. This is the most basic and probably most important element of puppy training. You can teach your new pet to go to the bathroom on a mat in your house, in a specific corner of their kennel, or train them to let you know when they need to go outside to go to the bathroom. Whichever way you choose, with a little patience, you will start off your pet ownership experience on the right foot.

After you have toilet training taken care of, you can start teaching your dog to sit, to go for walks, and play nice. You will also want to teach him or her to stop chewing up your shoes and furniture, stop them from jumping on you and anybody that comes over to visit, and reduce the amount of barking they do.

In all aspects of training a puppy or dog, you should rely on positive reinforcement. Your pet just adores you and will do anything for your affection so a little bit of love goes a long ways. Your pet will get confused if you yell at them and scold them too much.
