To train a Chihuahua’s courage, you must first enhance its confidence

Chihuahuas do not need a lot of exercise, but exercise can help it eliminate tension and anxiety. Therefore, owners can enhance the dog's self-confidence through some training games, such as tug-of-war games. The owner can prepare a relatively strong piece of cloth and wave it in front of the dog. Out of competitiveness and instinct, the dog will bite the strip of cloth and try to snatch it away. At this time, the owner can pull the toy firmly at the same time, and then release it after a second or two. Catching the cloth will give the dog a sense of accomplishment, and in the process of experiencing victory, the dog will gradually increase its self-confidence.

Training Chihuahua’s courage should increase the sense of security

If you want to get rid of Chihuahua’s problem of being too clingy, owners can train it in the cage. Provide the dog with a sense of security and ease the anxiety of being separated from the owner. What the owner needs to do is to let the dog establish the understanding that "dog cage = home", so that the dog can play, eat, etc. in the cage, thereby establishing a good impression of the dog's cage. Once the dog gets used to the cage, it will regard the cage as a safe haven, giving the dog a sense of security.

Easy-to-learn training for Chihuahuas

Chihuahuas are not smart, but they are dogs with strong self-esteem. Chihuahua cannot learn some training that is too difficult, and it will feel stressed and anxious. Therefore, the owner does not need to waste too much effort teaching it difficult movements. Simple movements such as "shake hands" and "thank you" are the most suitable for it.
