Alpha Leader
It is important to establish your alpha leader position with your pet Chihuahua from an early age. This will show your Chihuahua that you are the leader of your pack (family). You can establish this by always eating before your Chihuahua and not giving attention to them. Do this for the first 5-10 minutes after you return home. By establishing your alpha leader position, your chihuahua will feel calm. They will know that you are going to protect them. A Chihuahua that feels confident and calm will be much easier to train than an anxious pet Chihuahua. So, it is important to establish your alpha leader position before starting any other training.
Belt training your Pet Chihuahua
It is very important to train your pet Chihuahua to use the run. If you take your chihuahua outside without a leash in a public place, you could end up in a fight. Or even your pet running into traffic. Before starting leash training, you need to make sure your Chihuahua is calm. An excited Chihuahua will be more difficult to train. If your Chihuahua is too excited, play with them until they get tired. Once you have done this, it will be much easier to strap it on. If they pull on the leash, they use the “no” command and suspend the walk. Get your pet chihuahua to sit up before continuing. By saying “no” and stopping each time your chihuahua pulls on the leash, they will soon know that if they pull. A Chihuahua will prefer to keep walking, so it won’t take long for them to learn not to pull on the leash.
Obedience classes
Another important tip for training a pet Chihuahua is to enroll them in obedience classes. You can learn some of the best training tips from an obedience class. They will teach you exactly how to establish your alpha leader position. And, also, how to give the commands. So if your Chihuahua’s training isn’t going very well for you, then it may be time to start looking at obedience classes. It could be one of the smartest things you do for your pet.
Consistency is the key
There are many training tips for Chihuahuas. However, the most important of them is consistency. You have to be consistent in all aspects of training! If you leave your pet chihuahua in your bed one day but don’t usually want them there, then they’re going to get confused. So stay consistent, never let your Chihuahua climb into bed if you don’t allow it normally. The same for the rest of the aspects of their lives. If you teach them a command, then don’t change it in the future. This is only going to make the training process continue longer. Consistency is the key to a well-trained pet Chihuahua!
