How And When To Do Chihuahua Paper Training


by Sandra Dean

When you are trying to housebreak your toy breed of dog you will always run in to some challenges along the way. The Chihuahua presents some special problems because they hate the elements and many times will refuse to go outside. Many people turn to Chihuahua paper training as an option but if you do not follow through with continuous housebreaking techniques then the newspaper approach could be a very bad idea. So if you are going to use papers use them as a part of the process and not the entire solution.

Chihuahuas hate wind, rain and cold so you need to find an outside spot for them that is protected from these elements or else they may never take to going outside. A spot that can allow them to do what they have to do without the bother of the bad elements will help a lot in housebreaking your Chihuahua. Always remember that physically punishing your Chihuahua will create aggressive behavior in your dog and that may be something you will never get it to stop doing.

If you really want to use Chihuahua paper training then remember that it is part of the housebreaking process and not the final solution. The final solution is getting your dog to go outside. Lay some papers in a designated paper area away from the dog’s food. A Chihuahua will not go to the bathroom anywhere near it’s food or water so be sure to make the two very separate. Lay down layers of papers in a small area that the dog can easily get to.

Start feeding your dog at regular times and only during certain times and then take them to the paper area after they have eaten. This will get you and them on a regular schedule so that the amount of accidents can be reduced. If you notice your dog drinking water then take them to the paper right after they are done. Praise the dog when it uses the paper and let it know that is the only place it is allowed to go.

Get your dog on a regular eating schedule so that you can take it to the papers after it has eaten. A regular eating schedule also means a regular bathroom schedule and that is important to reduce accidents. If you notice your dog drinking water then take it to the paper when it is done. Praise the use of the paper profusely and make the dog understand that this is the only place it can relieve itself.

As Chihuahua paper training seems to be working you can start slowly moving the paper area closer and closer to the outside door. Always clean the paper area and leave some soiled paper with it so the dog knows that is the spot to go. As you get closer to the door start laying papers under the door and outside reducing the size of the inside paper spot. Soon your dog should want to go outside to use the papers outside because the area inside is too small to use.

Never confine your dog while you are home, as this will only confuse it. Keep water and food away from your dog while it is in its crate at night while you are Chihuahua paper training because a Chihuahua has a very small bladder and won’t be able to hold anything in all night.

Just be smart about housebreaking your Chihuahua and the paper method should be effective enough to get your Chihuahua to go do its business outside rather than inside your house.
