So after I give some more information on theChihuahua breed we will get started wth the few easy tricks I get 
Miss Mildred to do daily as our furbabys are small fragile and ever so tiny its hard to keep treat training as they can put on weight haha and I say this as Miss Mildred put weight on while i was training her but now a kiss and a cuddle makes her just as happy !




The Chihuahua is a terribly intelligent dog; as a matter of truth this breed has the biggest brain in comparison to body size out of all of the dog breeds within the world. therefore whether or not your Chihuahua may be a puppy or an older dog, you'll be able to definitely teach your dog some cute tricks. The key and secret to training your Chihuahua to perform tricks to repetition.

If you show your dog one thing over and over again; continually teaching him the same method, he can eventually learn it. This breed picks up info quite quickly; some tricks can solely take a matter of a week or 2 to find out.

When you are teaching your dog, it's best to do so during a quiet area wherever there aren't any distractions. make learning fun, act excited once he learns one thing and never scold him if he's taking time to catch on. when he will master a trick, take care to reward your Chihuahua with lots of happy words of praise.

When a Chi is first making an attempt to be told and is putting in effort, do provide a tasty treat as reward... however don't fret regarding always having to offer food as motivation. when you additionally offer praise at the same time, after a while a dog can have an automatic response... and at that point your smile, praise and therefore the attention that your Chi receives are going to be all that's required for him or her to require to stay playing. 

Some other smart tips to keep in mind is that taking time on a daily basis to work on these commands can create the simplest success... After all, sporadically having sessions once or twice per week merely will not provide the repetition that's required.

And, you need to be in an passionate mood in order for your Chihuahua to be in one! Dogs scan body language and tone as if they were ready to read our minds. If an owner is feeling positive with a decent attitude that learning is fun and a gradual process, a dog can typically mimic that perspective...And that is what's required to set a decent learning foundation. 



Cool Trick 1 - What  Hand? 

A really cute trick to show your Chihuahua will make it seem as if your dog could be a bit psychic! you must have your dog sitting in front of you. Reach to grab a handful of little treats; however take care that it's a small enough quantity in order that your hand will completely cover the food whereas creating a clenched fist.

Put your hands behind your back. Then, place each hands out toward your Chihuahua at a similar distance from him.

Say the command words of "Which hand?" using an excited voice. Your dog should be able to understand which hand holds the treats merely from the smell. A dog's ability to smell is totally amazing! once your dog put his paw on the proper hand, open your hand to reveal the treats. in this case, the treats are going to be the reward. 

Do not provide the treats till your Chihuahua puts his paw on the hand that hides them. this may teach him that merely nosing it's not enough.



Neat Trick 2 - Saying Grace

This is a good trick to show your Chihuahua, particularly when you have company over for dinner. In order  for this to work, you may want a small toddler's chair or booster seat that's placed on the ground.

You may additionally use a solid box or alternative object that is sometimes in your room or eating space. The height of the object must be so that your Chihuahua will stand and rest his or her front legs on the object.

This trick is "Saying Grace" but you must not have food out after you are training your Chihuahua to try and do this trick, because it can distract him from learning this. Have him sit in front of the item. Say the command words, "Say Grace" while you gently elevate his front paws and place them on the object.


Again, repeat the command words and gently place his face softly down upon his front paws. Your Chihuahua can currently be during a position that seems that he's expression a prayer. you must pat his head and say encouraging words to stay his face down for a number of moments.

Never hold his head if he resists. after a count of three or four, release your gentle touch and reward him with excitement, pats and hugs. 

The key to a dog learning to do this automatically once hearing the command words is to train him often. 

Doing this four to five times on a daily basis for one to two weeks ought to have your Chihuahua ready to do an amusing supper time trick.


Trick 3 - Greetings!

This trick is simple however can make your Chihuahua appear very smart! Sit your Chihuahua in front of you. Gently acquire one of his paws and gently shake it while expression the command word, "Hello". 

Act terribly happy while you're doing this and show your Chi that you simply are more than happy that he's permitting you to do this. After a while, say the command word again, however this time you may just gently touch his paw without shaking it. Act as if you expect him to require action. If he doesn't, lift the paw and repeat the hand shake.  

After a jiffy, your Chihuahua can perceive what to do after you sit before of him and say, "Hello". this is often a beautiful trick to have your dog grasp for when you introduce him or her to friends, family and other.


Super Cool Trick 4 - Sweet Kisses

This is a beautiful Chihuahua dog trick and extremely simple to show. You need to  sit your dog in front of you. Before you are doing the next step, do bear in mind that this is often temporary and very soon you will be able to eliminate this 1st part! 

Put a really little dab of wet pet food on the cheek of your face. Say the command words, "Kisses" and permit your Chihuahua to lick the treat off your face. As he's doing so, repeat the command word. 

Then, attempt to do so by merely pointing to your face and saying, "Kisses". If your Chihuahua kisses you, make certain to praise him with happy word and excited pats. After a while you should be able to merely say "Kisses" and obtain a sweet Chihuahua kiss. 

Miss Mildred loves to do all of these tricks and she is very happy to show anyone them!
I have put a lot of training into my sweet little Chihuahua and I am so happy she was so eager to learn we alway practice the shake before she is allowed her dinner so now she sits waiting for her command shake or paw so she can have her dinner. Its really cute and lots of fun too.

Miss Squeak Talks Bonding With Your New Furbaby



So it is me again Miss Squeak and today I would like to talk about the bond between you and your new fur baby whether its young or older dog we need to start with showing this new member of our family that we are there for her/him to love and protect them. 
This new little bundle of joy and happiness is going to test your patience and not always do the right thing but with all that aside you have chosen your new fur baby to come home with you on this new adventure hope some of these words below help you out! 

Lets get Started then! Bonding with your new Furbaby !

Whether your pet may be a puppy or an adult dog, every activity the 2 of you share builds and strengthens your bond.

- Stroking, patting and gently grooming all comfort and please your dog.

- appropriate play permits you to share your dog's natural joy in movement and games.

- Time spent in agility coaching and obedience work enhances your relationship whereas permitting your dog to achieve confidence as he successfully completes tasks and earns your approval as well as the occasional treat.

- make certain that the sessions are not any longer than the dog's attention span which they always end on an up note with the dog with success finishing a command and winning praiseDogs perceive and learn from the implications that follow their actions. By pleasing smart behaviour with praise, attention and honestly given rewards, you reinforce both the behaviour and therefore the bond between you and contribute to your dog's sense of confidence and his place within the family structure. If the dog's behaviour is unacceptable, make this clear in an exceedingly firm, negative tone of voice. Intimidation, cruelty or any attempt to hurt or damage your dog betrays his trust, damages the bond you share and may lead him to be fearful.

Dogs come back to us with a natural sense of order and a willingness to acknowledge humans as leader. In response, we want to strengthen our position by assured and consistent leadership and guidance. Understanding your dog's worldview and being a firm and consistent leader can enable him to grow to his full canine potential and allow the bond between you to continue to develop.

Puppies
Establishing a bond is best and most natural with puppies. leaving their mother's authority at about eight weeks (taking puppies from their litter before 6 weeks suggests that the puppy misses a crucial  part of the "litter" experience and should forever have issue relating to other dogs), the impressionable puppy willingly comes to see his human as the leader. You reinforce this natural tendency by calm, patient, consistent attention and by permitting the puppy to adjust to new routines. The pup is anxious to trust and bond and will respond absolutely to your care.

- Give him  a safe sanctuary that's quiet and puppy-proof. I had a playpen for my fur baby Mildred and it worked just great she was able to feel safe and my other dogs were able to see and smell her too.As Mildred was so very small it was wonderful to have this place for her as she could get stepped on and in up in the vet not something what we really wanted so if you can use some place where you can leave you new pup so you can do things like the washing and cleaning where your puppy is not in the way.

- Build his confidence with unambiguous expectations and mild treatment. Young puppies are simply intimidated, therefore use caution when training.

- A firm "no" is sometimes adequate when discipline is important.

Adult Dogs
Establishing a bond with an adult dog might take to a small degree longer, particularly if he comes from a troubled past, however it is well definitely worth the effort. If possible, learn as much as you'll be able to regarding your adult dog's formative years therefore you'll be able to avoid unwittingly repeating any difficult  or horrifying experiences.

- Assert your leadership in a non-confrontational manner.

- Be clear and firm in your expectations and wait.

Hope this was helpful and gives you a little more knowledge about this issue, we all have some thing our fur baby does that might make us angry or mad but remember we are the leaders of the pack and it is up to us to help our new fur baby adjust .. Thankyou for reading !
