We are the 3rd. owner of this chihuahua and for the most part he is house broken, but sometimes when we’re not looking he will pee or poop in the other room. when we put him outside in a kennel for the night he won’t go until he is let out……He is a male, not neutered. He is a breeding dog. But in order to keep him we need to brake him og his bad habbit. Help if you know please.
When you’re home and he’s not kenneled, you should keep him with you. Don’t allow him in the other room by himself. Being the third home, it’s possible that his bad habits were the result of housebreaking not being reinforced in his previous home. Create a schedule. Kennel at night, potty in the morning, potty every two hours out of the kennel and don’t let him go off by himself.
Small dogs are often more difficult to house break and the more intelligent and willful the dog, the more difficult it is. Chihuahua can be difficult to train in general. Consider puppy class or doggy good-citizen classes to establish the relationship between you and the dog.
I understand that many people get these dogs as investments hoping to make money on stud fees and/or litter sales. I hope that you will be a responsible breeder culling for defects and breeding for temper in addition to breed standard.

I have a 1 year and 5 month old chihuahua who had her first heat cycle, I believe, near the beginning of this year. (She would have been about 9-11 months old. A late bloomer.) As I recall, everything went "normal" as far as what was to be expected. I don’t know if she should have had another heat cycle though. I’ve heard some dogs have them only once a year. I realize it’s only been 6-8 months but I am just really careful with her. I know it should be expected anytime now or quite possibly not til next year depending on how she is. And I know I should have her fixed. I’ve been asking questions a/b my dog on here for months and months. Last September, we took her in to get spayed and she nearly died because of an unforseeable medical condition with her liver in which the anesthesia could not and still cannot be processed regularly. So that option is out. Our only hope is to keep a close eye on her as she grows up. So my question is still, should I be worried?
Yes, we are always VERY careful with her as there are some male dogs in the complex. We have notified the owners that she will have heat conditions, therefor it would be best to stay away at those times. We haven’t seen any of the regular signs yet with her (bleeding, swelling, constant cleaning) which is why I was a bit worried. I would think if something were wrong, she would have been acting differently but she’s perfectly normal.
Yeah, um, Dave? Try reading all the question first. We can’t have her spayed…
If you can’t get her spayed due to her medial condition….you will need to really know her heat cycle so you can watch her to avoid any mistake breeding’s. The usual time in between heat cycles is 6 mos…but every dog is different and she may come in heat at different times. I would just keep a close eye on her…check her frequently and watch her behavior. When females are in heat they will clean themselves frequently and you will usually see bright blood at first which will be your first sign.

My 4 month old chihuahua is always going to the bathroom in the house. We tried giving him treats but then he would jut pretend to go to the bathroom to get the treats. I try to take him out every 2 hours, but when I bring him back in, he goes. He holds it in through the night, and i have him trained to go first thing in the morning, but for the rest of the day he isn’t trained. Can somebody please help me!!!!
google-’crate training’ works really well…

I adopted a chihuahua who was believed to have been rescued from a puppy mill. She was obviously over bred and was grateful to have been saved. She is a wonderfully affectionate dog. She is phenomenal with my children as well as with me. She truly is a joy, however when my husband calls to her to take her outside she instantly cowers. She will leak urine on the floor when he approaches her. I think she was likely abused by a man previously. Is there any way to train them both to change this behavior?
Yes from the sound of it, I think she was abused too.
Make sure your husband isn’t staring at the dog for one. Cause the dog will take it as a threat.
Also, Let the dog approach him. If he’s going to the dog, of course she’s gonna run. In time, she’ll warm up. Just no eye contact and have him feed her and take her for walks. Good Luck!

Please refer name of stores/websites. I have a 2 month old naughty chihuahua. Winters are approaching and so he would need jackets, sweaters and t-shirts.
It’s going to be cold in my country soon and a friend in NYC is going to buy these for me.
Hey,
Try www.chihuahuathreads.com. It directs you to ebay listings, but it makes finding what you want really easy. I bought a sweater I found on there for my chihuahua.
