The Dachshund and Chihuahua house-training Quandary.

making the effort to find out what foods are OK and which of them could be threatening, could save everyone a lot of heart ache in the future. If you have ever taken your Chihuahua to the Vet before, theyve likely told you not to feed your dog table foods. To be on the safe side, it's best to hear your Vet and avoid feeding your Chihuahua table foods in any way. Ever heard the old chestnut that chocolate can kills dogs? Well, some chocolate can be terribly deadly to dogs, causing episodes, coma, and even death. Briefly never give your Chihuahua a genuine bone. Like a bone, sticks can also damage a dogs vital organs from chipping.

When I found her at a rescue, the info I received was that she used to be a 4 month old tiny Dachshund. As the Dachshund is a powerful working dog, they've a really willful personality. This has a tendency to make them recalcitrant and / or independent.

though the Dachshund is trainable they won't be simple to coach. The mulish personality of this dog makes them resistant and not the simplest to housetrain. With positive and continual scheduling the Dachshund does learn and with a single-minded owner the Dachshund will develop the coaching fast. The Chihuahua doesn't like the cold and has a tendency to shiver. They don't like to get their feet wet so going outside to damp grown or wet grass deter the Chihuahua from going outside to potty. In either dog breed there are 2 advocated coaching techniques to housetraining your dog. The second is to paper or puppy pad train your dog. In both cases, consistency is the necessary key. Once a unacceptable habit starts, it is much tougher to break and retrain your dog. Hollie, my Dachshund-Chihuahua has a little of both temperaments that has made house coaching her quite the challenge. Too much salt may also cause kidney issues in a dog. keeping your food away from them, and being sure you are only feeding them dog food can help your Chihuahua stay safe and healthy.
