What is the best way to potty train a 2 mo old chihuahua puppy?

Answer 1

keep him on a schedule of taking him out when he wakes up and after eating and before bed.

Answer 2

i hate to say this but.......... please unless you want your dog to be pooping all over your house DON'T put down newspapers, ya so its cute when they are little.... a small breed of dog will live for up to 25 years are you willing to clean up poo and pee off your floors for 25 years?
the proper way of potty training any dog including your sweet little one is this.
The first step in puppy potty training requires that you learn the clues that indicate your puppy needs to potty. These clues are: restlessness, sniffing the floor, or returning to a previously soiled spot. Your pup will need to potty about 5-20 minutes after eating, sleeping or playing. When you take your puppy outside to potty, to to the same spot each time and don't play.
Give your puppy a small food treat to reinforce the positive behavior. While your puppy is going potty, praise very softly so you don't interrupt the behavior. Be enthusiastic after your puppy is done
When you are not able to watch the puppy, put the puppy into a kennel.
If you catch your puppy in the act of going potty in the house, you can do one of two things. The most common advice was to correct with a firm no and immediately take the puppy to the proper toilet area.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aL2Na

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Answer 4

Crate it at night, and when home during the day take it out very often and tell it to go "potty" it will learn the word. This is how I trained my Chihuahuas.

Answer 5

I have a baby chihuahua also. You should take it after it sleeps or every thirty min. or hour. When it goes potty in the wrong spot pick her/him up and take them where they should go and say potty wait a little if it need's to go more then it should get used to it like our dog. Start from a litter box. As it gets older take it outside.

Answer 6

Routine is the most important aspect of training. From the beginning, feed 4 times per day, at the same times, and put the bowl up in 5 minutes, or when finished.

A puppy will need to go just minutes after eating, so whisk him outside, and stay with him until he 'goes'..Give him lots of praise when he does his job, play a few minutes, and come back in..

If you can spread down a bag of sand, from a garden center, it will give him a good place to go, so you can kind of aim him there, and not just all over your yard..

He should only need to go poop after eating, and perhaps at bedtime..

However, he will need water down at all times, and need to pee frequently..so, outside every other hour for that..and keep a close eye on him..He will need to go during active play, and every time he wakes from a nap..If you watch him, you will see him acting restless, and sniffing the floor, etc when he needs to go..at first, peeing may be just a matter of pausing, and uh-oh, there it is..He won't even be aware...So its important to never scold him for peeing...this is what makes traumatized pups that refuse to pee outside, or try to hide it in the house..as they get scolded for it, and it becomes a traumatic event..
Keep the product, Nature's Miracle, on hand, for instant cleaning of pee spots...or ask your pet supply which enzyme cleaner they recommend..

Puppies physiology only allows them to hold pee for about 1 hour per month of age...so expecting any more is unrealistic..a good reason for a playpen or crate at night.. He may hold it through the night, but is likely to need to pee at least once during the night..You can remove the water a couple of hours before bedtime..

By following a routine, and being ever watchful for the first few days, you can have him petty well trained in just a couple of weeks..or less

I house-train all of my pups before they ever leave my home, and I do it an entire litter at a time..it normally takes about 4-5 days, with very few accidents, before they are asking to be let out..
But, if you hang a little bell on the door, or a desk bell on the floor, and show him you are ringing the bell each time you take him out, he is likely to begin ringing the bell when he needs to go..Just be very vigilant, and yet stay relaxed..an accident doesn't mean failure..
Remember, it takes forever to potty train a human baby, and it is so nice that puppies can learn it so much faster, but they are still allowed to be babies, and don't deserve to be stressed about the training...
If you have important areas to keep clean, just keep him away from those areas until he is a bit older..

Pee pads are VERY confusing to a ppupy! You are telling him it is OK to do it in the house, and then expecting him to learn your limits, at a time when he already has so very much to learn..It rarely works.

I recommend using a soft step-in type harness for the walking and leash training, as it is less frightening and stressful..eventually, as trust is developed, you can switch to a collar..but a soft harness takes the fear away from the beginning...Walking stimulates the bowels to move, more so than just putting the dog out..

Answer 7

My Miniature Schnauzer didn't get it till I caught him in the act, and really told him off and put him outside (while he was still trying to go). I had used puppy cage etc. and all that stuff but no good. Had to catch him doing both, because dogs will not connect weeing with crapping.
If you go back to it later, like if you were out when he did his stuff, you just have to clean up, If you tell it off he won't know why, even if you show him or even rub his nose in it (gross NEVER do that) he won't get it.
A puppy cage will stop him from going at night, but let him straight out in morning.

Answer 8

The best way is to put newspaper, about two layers at a spot where you want the puppy to run. Watch it and when it crouches, immediantly take her to the newspapers. Keep on doing it for about a month to make sure. For night, just put newspaper everywhere the puppy runs. These produce the best results. If you work during the day, just put newspaper where the puppy runs.

Answer 9

Too young,Almost impossible You must wait until its little bladder can hold its urine for a period of time .Much like a baby,they to have to be of age to be able to train them .It's never to early to begin to lay down some guide lines but do not expect too much this early.Go to Pets Mart or to a book store and get some books that will give you some pointers.Good Luck!!!

Answer 10

There are a few real keys to dog training, whether you are trying to train your dog to come when called, sit, stop barking or any other behavior. Understanding their importance is critical to achieving rapid results that are long lasting and help develop the bond between you and your dog. Learn more http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?Mcxd

The first is simple; you must win your dogs mind. If you don’t achieve this first then you will be struggling the all the way. When I talk about winning your dogs mind what I really mean is that your dog looks to you for all the decisions. Before you do anything else watch one of the amazing video sites that show you the 5 Golden rules to establishing yourself as the pack leader. If you aren’t putting these in place then you are setting yourself up to fail. Just at the crucial point where you really want your dog to listen they will go and do their own thing. For sure your dog may play ball occasionally or even most of the time, you may even have a dog that is obedient 99% of the time, however if you want a dog who always listens to you and does as you ask then you need to win your dogs mind.

The second key to success is to motivate your dog. It is really important that you discover what it is that your dog enjoys both in terms of exercise and play but also in terms of a reward. If you can make the experience enjoyable then you will both achieve more and look forward to training.

Some dogs love to fetch, others love agility, and other dogs simply love obedience training, or swimming out into water and retrieve. At least to start with find out what your dogs love is and help them develop this, what I am saying is work with your dog. The other point to recognize is to make training enjoyable reward your dog.

Answer 11

what I suggest is that you hang a bell where he can reach and bring him over to it after you put it on and make him look at you and tell him " you ring this if you have to go potty." and if he still doesn't ring it you could ring it before you go outside (but make sure the bell is close to a door when you hang it) and then he should get the hang of it. and when he gets the hang of it he will either ring by nudging it with her nose.
