Housebreaking any pet is always a challenge and it can be an especially frustrating challenge when you are housebreaking a small toy breed like the Chihuahua. If you live where it gets cold then the dog is not always going to want to go outside to do its business and if you live where it rains a lot then you will have the same problem. Many people turn to Chihuahua paper training and this is not always the best option but sometimes it can be the only option you have. But make sure you do the rest of the housebreaking right in order to get the dog to understand what you want it to do.
As was mentioned before the Chihuahua is not fond of wind, rain, and the cold so when you choose its outside spot make sure it is someplace that is protected from these elements or else your dog may refuse to use that spot. No matter what you do never use physical punishment on your Chihuahua when you are housebreaking it, as that will just develop aggressive and negative behavior.
A decision to use Chihuahua paper training cannot be used as a final solution. Just remember that this is all part of a process you are doing and paper training is only a temporary solution.
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.
Keep an eye on your dog and its bathroom habits and when it looks like they have the hang of Chihuahua paper training then you can start slowly moving the paper area towards the door to the outside. Make sure you clean the papers regularly but leave some soiled paper there so they know that it is their spot. Start setting part of the paper spot under and outside the door and make the inside paper spot smaller. Soon your dog will realize that the inside spot is too small and will want to go outside.
Avoid giving your Chihuahua food and water to eat and drink during the night while it is in its crate, because they cannot go all night without relieving themselves if they are allowed to eat.
Be smart about housebreaking your dog and using the paper method should be successful for you.
