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

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 Separation Anxiety In Furbabys.

 Hi everyone, I thought we might talk a little

about Separation Anxiety in Furbabys. 

Today as I am off on a holiday to Bali and I feel 

I might be the one with the anxiety when it comes to leaving my little Miss Mildred gee is it really this hard I haven't even left yet and

 I am all ready starting to think will she miss me? Will my family look after her the way I do? 

I know no harm will come to her yet I am still worried about leaving her! Maybe because I have sick over the last few weeks and I have had her as a constant companion when I have been unwell she even stopped eating when I was unable to 

get out of bed  she was like my little furry nurse always at my side. Now I am able to move around a lot more now and I have started to feel better.

But I now fear she might have a little separation anxiety as she has shown just a few slight signs of anxiety like when I have a shower she might scratch at the door but that might be normal as she is used to being with me. But apart from that she is okay with being on her own when I go out shopping or to the doctors she is happy to play outside by herself. The issue I am concerned about  is while I am way is she going to be able to cope without me? I hope she is fine and there are no problems while I am away. Like is she going to regress and start weeing in the house or is she going to start barking or is she going to be naughty and keep everyone at home awake at night? These are the question that are racing around my head at the moment. I guess only time will tell I am lucky that Miss Mildred is staying in her own home with people that she already knows and with her furbaby sisters to play with, its me whom has the main issue with anxiety regarding leaving my little furbaby at home. Now thats enough about me and Miss Mildred lets talk about some signs of Separationn Anxiety in Furbabys !

Separation anxiety is a behavioural disorder 

that's all too common in Chihuahuas. You 

finally get home from a long day at work only 

to discover that your beloved Chihuahua 

has Ransacked the house. 

Maybe there's pillow or

bed stuffing strewn across the floor, garbage 

pulled out of the trash, or even a pile of poop 

in the middle of your living room. They don't 

act like this when you or other members of 

your family are home, so why do they behave 

this way when they're left alone?

Chihuahuas suffering from separation anxiety 

act out when they're left alone.Whether you 

are going to work for the day, or just running

 up to the gas station for a couple of minutes, 

leaving them alone triggers behaviour that's 

that's considered "out of the norm." Your 

Chihuahua might be the perfect angel when 

they're sitting in your lap, but all of their 

manners and training go right out the door

 once you leave their side..

Signs of Separation Anxiety In 

Chihuahuas

1.Claws at the carpet when you shut the 

bathroom or bedroom door behind them!

2. Follows you around throughout the house.

3. Constantly jumps and whines 

for you to pick them up.

4.Tears up linens, pillows, sheets, clothes,etc. 

when left alone.

5. Defecates or urinates inside the house 

when left alone.

6. Acts overly excited when you come home.

7. Barks, whines or howls when left alone.

What Causes Separation Anxiety In Chihuahuas?

There are many various factors which can contribute to a Chihuahua's separation anxiety, the foremost influential  being a change in family. Chihuahuas, like all dogs, are social animals that are extremely loyal to their family. Taking them out of their current surroundings and thrusting them into a home with a totally new family is guaranteed to produce some kind of emotional distress, as well as separation anxiety. This usually goes away once the Chihuahua settles down and becomes comfy with their new family.

In addition to changes in their family, abuse is another issue known  to cause separation anxiety in Chihuahuas. If they were physically and/or mentally abused in their previous home, there is a higher likelihood of them exhibiting behavioural disorders.

Note: Punishing or disciplining your Chihuahua for exhibiting this behavior can solely make the matter worse. Separation anxiety is not one thing they will control. Veterinary behavior specialist Dr. Stefanie Schwartz com suggests that canine separation anxiety it almost like panic attacks in humans. There is  psychological component beyond their control that manifests this behavior. Yelling, scolding, or forcing your Chihuahua to go to 'time out' can solely increase their anxiety.

Confining your Chihuahua to a crate conjointly does not work. Once you allow their sight, they're going to scratch, yell and presumably even soil their crate. This could help keep your house clean when you are away, however it doesn't help their anxiety -- which is the real downside at hand.

How To Treat Your Chihuahua's Separation Anxiety

Unfortunately, most homeowners take the incorrect approach to their Chihuahua's separation anxiety by penalization and/or confinement. In order for your Chihuahua to beat this behavioral downside, you want to work to downplay your exits and arrival. instead of petting and pampering them before you walk out the door, plow ahead and leave in an exceedingly quite, delicate manner while not talking or making eye contact. This shows your Chihuahua that departure, and returning, is not an enormous deal.

Owners ought to work to treat their Chihuahua's separation anxiety slowly to stop additional psychological stress. start by leaving the house for simply ten minutes on a daily basis, and step by step increase this length over time. When being removed from your Chihuahua for ten minutes on a daily basis for a full week, maybe you'll bump it up to 20-30 minutes on a daily basis. Taking slow steps permits your Chihuahua to grow familiar with these new changes, basically dampening their separation anxiety.

For severe cases of separation anxiety in Chihuahuas, owners might want to discuss the pros and cons of varied medications with their Furbaby Doctor. Benzodiazepines, oxidase inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants (TCA), and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) are a number of the foremost normally prescribed medications for  canine separation anxiety. Of course, these are only temporary solutions and should not be used as a long-run treatment choice.

Tips For Treating Separation Anxiety:

1. Ignore your Chihuahua once you 

leave and enter the house.

2. Leave the tv running to supply them company (DogTV or Animal Planet are each nice choices)

3. Make sure your they get lots of exercise throughout the day.

4.Leave some toys behind to help occupy their time.

5. Teach your Chihuahua the fundamental obedience commands, like sit.

6. Confine your Chihuahua 'loosely' instead of using a crate.

7. Some veterinarians recommend giving a sock or another piece of your dirty laundry to your Chihuahua, because the scent of their door might help calm them.

8. You can't expect your Chihuahua to beat

 their separation anxiety straightaway. Behavioural disorders are something that takes months, sometimes even years to develop, and treating it's going to take equally as long. 

9. Remain persistent and follow the guidelines listed here to help your Chihuahua overcome their disorder.

Does your Chihuahua get anxious when you

 leave him or her behind for any length of 

time?  For a highly social, extremely loyal 

creature like a Chihuahua, being separated 

from the people they are attached to can be 

very distressing and result in a variety of 

disruptive, destructive behaviors.

Miss Squeaks Update On Miss Mildred !

 Today I would love to update you all on the the progress of  little Miss Mildred and the sleeping in her own bed drama. Well it was only a few weeks ago that my Monster said its about time that Miss Mildred started to sleep in her own fluffy warm cozy bed, As she was very little I allowed her to sleep with me while she was a puppy because I wanted her to be safe and sound. Miss Mildred is my little girl and she goes everywhere with me as I think your furbaby should. But as we all know when you have a baby in the bed with you sometimes you focus more on the baby then your partner if you know what I mean!! So over the last week I have taken on the challenge of getting my little girl to sleep on her own or with her furbaby brother 

George Wobble. The first two nights were very hard as she was wanting to be with us so she was jumping and whining at the side of the bed, 

But every time  she would jump or whine I would  just say in your bed and place her back into her bed. I was very tired by the third night yet I stuck to the challenge and guess what Miss Mildred didn't even try to get onto the bed and she put 

herself into her bed yay and over the last three nights she has done then same each night so now   

I can smuggle up to my Monster again with no furbabys in the bed I must say I thought this would be very hard to do yet with a little patience and practice I can say our little girl is growing up   fast and we had now taken back the bed and its lots of cuddles and kisses for me ! 

Our mission was to get Miss Mildred to sleep in her bed and for my Monster to be able to sleep with out stressing he would squash her. By doing this we have put the little furbaby back into her place as a dog and its has not stressed her out as furbabys like to know their place in the pack and we have shown Miss Mildred that she is loved and she gets heaps of attention and lots of playtime with her mumma and fur brothers and sisters  and she just doesn't sleep with us at 

night ! Now its time for us to go home and apply the same nighttime routine there as I don't want to confuse her please wish me luck its been harder for me I think as I like having her with me yet I realise its better to have her in her own bed. I would love to hear any of your stories about what you did to get your furbaby out of your bed ? 

Thanks very much for reading my blog

Miss Squeak Talks Lets Dress Up Your Furbaby.

 

So today I thought it would be fun to talk about dressing up our furbabys and a few reasons why to do it, I love to dress        Miss Mildred up in her cute sun dresses with matching collars she sits and waits for her outfit everyday its just adorable and it fun for us , I have been dressing Miss Mildred since she was brought home . She was so small and fragile so I had to keep her warm I hope my ideas help you out with dressing your furbaby and bring you both closer together!

Excellent Photo Opportunity.

It is never too early to begin coming up with for next year’s greeting card, particularly if you’re in matching outfits - that simply screams greeting card. Or at least a framed image for your table. 

You Can Get Matching Outfits.

This goes hand-in-hand together with your pet desperate to do what you are doing. Not solely can your pet get to dress up, you’ll be matching! It doesn’t get far better than that.

You Can Support Your Favorite Sports And Team Even More.

Sports fanatics rejoice! Nowadays there is more then one way to show your love to your favourite team. Its certain they need a mascot and maybe already have one, however you recognise your pet is cuter anyway. Miss Mildred has her West Coast Eagles jumper she wears with pride. And her AFL football team made it to the grand final and we know its because she wore her jumper every time they played hahaha.

Wacky Holidays Are Often a Bonding Experience.

Even one thing as silly as spending every day dressing up your pet is time spent together, and your pet relishes it.

Worst comes To Worst, The New Outfit Will Make A Decent Chew Toy.

So your furbaby doesn’t just like the outfit you picked out. Big deal. He’ll flip it into a chew toy instead and everybody can still be happy. (Of course, do not permit your furbaby to chew on something he will presumably choke on.)

Add A Bit Of Variety to the Routine.

The majority of days during a pet’s life are quite routine. Eating, napping, going for walks … spice up life with every day dress ups that sounds fun and  stand out from the other furbabys ! I love to dress Miss Mildred in all kinds of outfits to suit her mood and to protect her for the elements hence shoes and a cute sundress to keep the sun off her fragile skin and ugg boots with warm woolies of winter weather!

What Pet Wouldn’t Wish To Be the Center of Attention?

Is there anything pets love more than being the center of attention? No? So Dress your Furbaby up and he or she is certain to receive a lot of attention from anyone he or she comes across.

You Wear Garments, Your Furbaby Needs To Wear Them Too.

Does your pet wish to follow you around? Sit on the couch when you sit on the couch? Go outside once he sees you heading to the door? If the solution is affirmative, it's safe to mention that something you are doing, your pet will wish to try and do similarly. We think that includes dressing up. I love to dress up my furbaby Miss Mildred not only because she look cute and pretty but because it helps her to stay warm as she is a chihuahua she can become cold very easily so most of the time she will have a cute little play dress on , but when its cold and raining outside I will put on her warm coat that has legs to keep her warm all over then as she doesn't like to get her little feet wet I put ugg boot on her so she can run around and not get wet at all and it helps to keep my house dirt and sand free .
