I must say I learn something every day.. I never heard of an Apple head Chihuahua.. I went and read something on this bred. Interesting I must say..
Ok the answer I am going to give you didn't come from me. It came from an answer to this question a while back and it came from an ID name peachesdeese. The answer this question better than I ever seen anyone answer it and it is worth repeating all over again. So the following is an answer that peachesdeese gave some one else.
The best time to get a puppy is when your going to be home for a couple of days. (Like the weekend.) That way they have a little time to bond with you and they tend to listen a little better.
Potty training a puppy isn't a matter of time....its a matter of timing.
Instead of thinking....."Take the baby out every couple of hours" Do it this way....
When it wakes up.....take it out
When it finishes eating.... take it out
When its done playing... take it out right then
A puppy lives in the "right now" state.....
When it wakes up...al it knows is its gotta pee! And if you don't take it right then it will pee where ever!
Same thing goes for playing and eating.
Regardless of what people say, crate training is bad for a dogs mental state. The perfect way to confine your pet from roaming your home while your gone is to put it in the kitchen/laundry room/bathroom with a baby gate. Don't close the door. A baby get will make your baby feel less confined and the puppies mind set will be better. Give them plenty of toys and a bed on one side of the room, peepee pad on the other side of the room and food and water in the middle. (Puppies don't normally like to poop where they sleep!)
It is possiable....with patience....to teach a puppy to use the peepee pad AND go outside. This training method has worked perfect for me and the animals I train!
