Stated below are some of the things you will require for training your dog:

The first thing you will require is a shipping crate, it must be of adequate size so that your dog dont undergo any type of difficulty to stand up and turn around.

A "Potty area". This must be the same until your dog is fully trained;.

A "Potty Word or Sign";.

You should get those snacks that your teacup chihuahua likes the most.

A cleaner which is non ammonia based for any accident areas. If you can find one that is made specifically for pets, they are the best. You must be able to find one which is called "No Go". You can buy this from pet stores or catalogs.

Keep a chart to know daily wants of your chihuahua puppies.

Taking into account all such features the basic thing you should require is time and patience moreso if your chuwawa was obtained at a chawawa rescue.

The type of crate and its significance which you will need is stated below :-

It would be best to buy a crate made of moulded fiberglass. As your dog sees the crate he realizes that the crate is a room of his very own when you are not accompanying him or not giving your complete attention.

When you purchase a crate for your dog it must be of proper size as a very large crate can have an effect on your purpose of housetraining. If you have young puppies then its beneficial to make use of a crate divider because it adds versatility to your pet home and saves your money by allowing you to set the dog crate living size as your puppy grows.

One of the most significant point is keeping a chart to know the daily routine of your dog. You should note down his playtime, his timing of potty, wake up time etc. so that you dont face any trouble. All such timings can be recognized to you after watching his daily activities for at least a week.

Your dog can realize his potty area if you habitually pick your dog up and carry him to the similar place. After potty you should give your dog his preferred snack for example the hot dog or cookies.

Accompany your dog and allow him to lead if possible. You absolutely should not play with him. Your dog should learn from the beginning that this is not playtime or walk time, it is "potty time."

When your chiwawas tries to understand you select a proper word for potty such as "Go Potty!" Train your puppy by saying the same word just as they pee or poop. After they have heard the phrase perhaps a few dozen times, you can begin using it to boost them just before they are really doing their stuff.

When he completes, give him a "snack" and admire him copiously! Take the pup back inside for food, playtime, etc. Remember to take him back outside after food or playtime. After twenty minutes, it's back in the crate for both relax and reinforcement. Carry on this cycle until the evening.

I personally don't give food and water after 10:00 p.m. to my chihuahua. This seems to help the puppy stay clean throughout the night. At bedtime, shift the crate to your bedside. Confirm that your dog is in a draft-free place and has plenty of warm bedding.

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