How to Train a Chihuahua Puppy
Just about everyone wants to own a pet at some point in their life. This is because pets are a great way to keep yourself company, when you can’t actually be around people.
At the same time, these pets grow up and become almost like your family. They rely on you, they need you to everything for them, and they need you to always be around. Basically they are like an extra child that you are getting, only that they are smaller and fluffier.
Now Chihuahua is a dog that some people tend to get, mainly because of how small they are. These dogs are small, can fit in hand bags and are very easy to keep in small places due to their size.
However, just like any other dog, a Chihuahua is going to need to be trained, in order for it to become accustom to some of the house rules that you have set for it.

Treats
Now if you want to teach your dog any tricks or anything along those lines, you are going to have to give it treats to do so.
Dogs, just like humans don’t do anything for free, or without a reason. Hence while training it to do tricks, it is important to keep a bagful of treats with you.
This way you can convince the dog that every time it does at it is told, it will be rewarded with some treats. In return, he will eventually end up doing as you ask without being treated, since his brain will be programmed that way.
