In reply to Pepper. I have raised these puppies and no matter what i do they cannot be potty trained. I take them out at least 5 -6 times a day and I have a potty pad that looks like grass and only one and she is a mixed breed uses it.

I rescued a 3 year old Chihuahua from animal control. She refuses to do her business outside. I’ll take her for a walk and she will not go to the bathroom outside. She chews everything. She has chew toys but wants to eat or chew pillows and anything soft. She chews my hands even. I’m determined to get her trained from these bad habits but don’t know if I can do it.

In reply to Ebony. I adopted my gal about two months ago she is 3 years old and a sweetheart considering she was found on the streets here in Mexico. She came to us with her shots in order and she had been spade. She was not house trained and had lived in a crate. She now is trained to go outside and I use the pads, because I am in a 6th floor condo, and because of my age I cannot be taking her out as often. She is terrified of big dogs and it takes her a while to even be friendly with small dogs. But she gets car sick, any suggestions? We take her wherever we go.

In reply to Julie. So true, my chihuahua prefer to goes outside but as a owner things happen and you you can’t or don’t take them out as planned. When this happens my chihuahua uses his pad. Thank God! He was 4 months when I realized he was fully trained. Now he’s a little over 5 months and continues to relieve himself outside or on a pad. So happy and proud of him. I absolutely adore my pup but not being house broken is a deal breaker for me.

Hi , l have three dogs a Suluki cross Chinese crested, a long haired Chihuahua and a short hair Chihuahua. The first two are well behaved, but the youngest who is 3& half , will only come on recall when it suits her , l have tried taking her out on her own for training, and she always comes ,but when with the others she reverts to doing her own thing. Can you advise me? thanking you

I have found myself with the job of dog sitting for two chihuahuas for the next six months. I have known them for about two and a half years. The younger one has always been more friendly with the older one being more standoffish and likely to grow up. Originally, they were being cared for in the owners apartment by others. Now they are in my home. The first day was pretty normal. They are snugglers and are allowed sleep in bed with me. Every time I rolled over or moved the younger one made a fuss of growling and snapping and barking. Her owner informed me that she wakes up crabby when you try and move her. Okay, that explains that. For 2 days now every time I go near her she does the growling and snapping routine. She won’t allow me to pick her up. Sometimes, I will pet her lightly and do hush, shhh,shhh and it works. Other times she becomes almost enraged and, for all practical purposes, attacks the older dog. She will happily crawl in my lap,get in my face with her tail wagging and have a fit the minute I try to pet her. I do not want The six-month period to be the challenge the last two days have been. I know she’s a good dog, but I’m not sure what changed, but would love it to go back to the way it was.

I use a mix of outdoor when I can and pee pads when I am away from home. They are a godsend and it’s really petty that people dismiss the use. All situate different and little dogs are smart and can do both.

My dog hates to go out in in-climate weather. I finally decided to put his pee pads in the shower where clean-up is easy. Once this box is gone I’m turning to washable pads or newspaper to help with the environment.
