Potty train your chihuahua 100% fool proof:
Step one: Buy 2 small wire crates — one of them must be the kind with the removable trays underneath. You can find them at most pet stores, or you can order the same crate using the link in the description below.
Step two: Buy large underpads. The underpads found in pet stores are too small and won’t do the trick. You will need to get bigger ones that are larger than the crate itself. Again, I have them available using my link below.
Step three: Lay one large potty pad on the floor in the exact spot you want your puppy to use for the rest of her life (hint, if you eventually want your puppy to learn to go outside, it’s best to put it right in front of the back door). Put the tray-less crate on top of the potty pad. The weight of the crate solves the problem of the puppies playing tug of war with the pad.
Step four: Put your custom made awesome Sweetie Pie Pet’s bed inside the crate WITH the hard bottom, then with both crate doors open, put the crates face to face with each other. Put the food and water bowl inside.
Step five: Add your puppies to the crate!
Step six, Consider these 2 crates her permanent residence for now. She should sleep in there, and live in there when you are not home. Only let her out of the crate when you are specifically interacting her. Chihuahuas are very social so she needs plenty of play time with her person but she also needs rest often so for the most part, keep her in the crate. When you have time to give her undivided attention, remove the potty crate and set it aside but leave the pad in its spot in front of her “den.” If she squats to go potty anywhere other than her pad, put the potty crate back immediately and put her inside until she’s gone potty. This is where it’s hard sometimes because she will WANT to come out and get attention but you have to be strong and not let her out until she finishes going potty in the potty crate. No matter how much she’s whining, ignore her until she goes. Don’t scold her when she has an accident since the goal is to make her WANT to pee on the pad and scolding just makes her afraid of her person. Any time you notice her using the potty crate, praise her with a tiny treat. The best time to let her out to play is right AFTER she’s gone potty in the potty crate. That way she’ll be able to hold it longer and have fewer mistakes.
As the puppy grows, lengthen the amount of time she spends with the potty crate removed. Once she knows where that spot is, she will never stray. After she’s received all of her puppy vaccinations, you can transition her to go outside which will be another video for another day.
What do we do if we travel to get them using the pad?
I tried this just yesterday with my 10 week old chi and it worked!! Do you think it would be okay to leave him in there for 4 hours at a time during the work day? 4 hours lunch then 4 hours?
Nothing works for my sons chihuahua. I’ve house trained tons of dogs, foster, puppies, another chihuahua. I’ve tried crate training him, treat training, bell training, praising when he does good and ignoring the bad, scolding, adjusting feeding time and taking him 20 mins then 40 mins after he eats and putting his food up, but SOMEHOW he still finds a poop in him to poop where he wants again. I can’t even put a bed for him because he’ll poop on the bed. Sometimes he will leave the floor to climb onto my son’s bed to poop then climb down to go to sleep, and my son just had his jaw on the floor. He’s 2. I’m at my wits end with him. Anyone have any advice? Yes he’s been to the vet, he’s fixed, he has several other dogs that give him an example of going outside and pooping only. HELP MEEEEEEEE. Aside from crating him all day long, which I hate he doesn’t deserve that, there is nothing working 😭😭
I have a question. My Chihuahua is confined to my kitchen area and his crate is in there. Also with the door open today he went in there and peed in the crate. There’s a small bathroom bathroom rug in there and I’ve washed it twice this week because he’s starting to do that for some reason. What do you think I should do? I also have carpet all through my house except the kitchen, so he is confined there and we go out very often, and I have a little doorbell that he can hit by the back door and half the time he touches his paw on there when we are standing by the sliding glass door. Is this confusing for him? I have to carry him to the back door.
What about male Chi’s? Do they pee the same as a female on a padded crate or do I have to add a pad on the wall? Thanks for the eye opening tip that’s the best ever ! 🐕💨☠️💩
