Your dog will need a lot of training, may be more so than others because of the temperament of the Chihuahua. These dogs can be mean and nasty; this is a problem you want to correct as early as possible especially if you have children. Breeders recommend that if you have small kids then these are not the pets for you.
there are two ways that you can train your dog, you can take on the task of training or let a professional do it. The cheaper way would obviously to let you train the dog but if you want it done with confidence and you want to make sure that every aspect of the training is done correctly then the best thing is to have a professional take care of the training.
Then they can teach you commands but the work is already done. You want to make sure the training is successful, especially if you have small children. What you can do to help in the training is to teach your kids the proper way to treat the dogs by not picking them up too much and not to try to dress them in clothes. That should be left to the adult.
Teach your child how to feed the dogs and how to help in the walking and bathing of the dog, it will make your child feel like they are helping. They will want to help out more if the dog doesn’t snap at them for being touched or roughed up a little. You know how gentle a child can be.
