The personality of Chihuahuas is relatively lively and spirited, which gives them a great advantage compared with other dogs. Moreover, Chihuahuas have a very delicate body shape that meets many friends' needs for small dogs. Although their body is small and exquisite, their courage and intelligence are not inferior to other dogs, so raising a Chihuahua is also a very good choice.

As an excellent owner, it is important to be patient in developing the dog's daily living habits. Under appropriate and scientific training, raising a well-behaved and obedient Chihuahua is not very difficult. The key is whether friends have mastered the correct methods. Now, here is a little tip for training your Chihuahua to urinate and defecate.

Potty training for a Chihuahua is particularly important and generally requires proper guidance during puppyhood. Considering the Chihuahua’s physical condition and bone development, intense training is not suitable, so training methods should be as gentle as possible. First, train the dog to urinate and defecate at a fixed spot indoors. Chihuahuas are very smart and understand humans well, so you can let it first become familiar with some basic commands, such as which gesture means stand up and which command means lie down. After getting some obedience, start the fixed spot potty training.

Use the dog’s favorite toy to lure it to the place where you want it to stay. Place a pillow soaked with the dog’s urine, then observe the Chihuahua’s reaction. At first, the dog will definitely be uncomfortable, so repeat it several times to let the dog become familiar with the place it needs to remember and guide its urination and defecation.

When the Chihuahua grows to around three to four months old, take it outside for potty training. Here, everyone is reminded to pay attention to keeping public environments clean—do not leave your dog’s excrement on beautiful grasslands. Cleaning up in time also reflects good virtue.

For training dogs, maintain patience and tolerance. Being eager for quick results will only make the dog more uncomfortable. When your dog performs well, give it more encouragement to keep it motivated.
