Its appearance is very popular. It is originally from America. In the Chinese market, Chihuahua is more expensive. Do you want to keep one? Let me teach you how to raise a Chihuahua.

How to raise a Chihuahua?

1. The Chihuahua is lively and active by nature. You can't keep it indoors all the time. You must let it go out for a walk, run, jump and other activities. The dog is easy to get filariasis, outdoor breeders should pay attention to the environmental hygiene of the kennel, do not let it develop the bad habit of lying everywhere. Starting from the puppy stage, the Chihuahua should have more contact with outside dogs and people, and cultivate and induce it to develop a good habit of being friendly and tolerant to people. If it is kept closed all the time, it will form a bad habit of being too alert to people, and even treating people with a hostile attitude.

2. A healthy diet of Chihuahua is always the most important. I remember that within two weeks after the newly bought Chihuahua arrived home, don't give it a bath. Let it get used to the surrounding environment first. If the dog is not fully vaccinated, he should be vaccinated as soon as possible so that the dog has a strong resistance. This is a necessary step to ensure Chihuahua's health.

3. A favorite advantage of the Chihuahua is that it is not strict with the living environment and food, so it is easier to raise and manage. In terms of food, it is enough to give it 60-90 grams of meat a day, while larger Chihuahua dogs only need to supply about 150 grams of meat a day, plus a similar amount of vegetables and biscuits.

3. As this kind of dog is not resistant to cold, the food should also be warm and hot. Meat should be cooked, chopped, mixed with dry ingredients and warm water before feeding.

4. the amount of food to be fed should be decided according to the size of the body, the hot and cold climate and the quality of its appetite. You can't let him starve, but don't overfeed either. Generally speaking, small dogs should provide less, while large dogs should supply more; if they have more activity, they should provide more; if they have less activity, they should supply less. You can supply a little more when the climate is cool and less when the climate is hot. When the appetite is strong, it can be increased appropriately, and when the appetite is poor, it can be reduced appropriately. In short, it is the principle to make it eat well and healthily.

How to train Chihuahua

1. The first stage is 1-5 days. First of all, put a leather collar on the dog, which should be able to stretch and enlarge, and the tightness of the collar on the neck should be inserted with four fingers that can be smoothly inserted. Then tie a 1.5-foot-2-meter chain to the collar. Each time the dog is fed, it is fed several times, 60% full each time. The name of the dog must be fixed and cannot be changed at will. Every time you feed a little food, call it by its first name, or whistle before feeding it and then call it by its first name. But it should be noted that it must be fed after it has a reaction. If there is no reaction, do not give the food, but you can show it, call it by name, and feed it when you have a reaction to eating. In this way, after 3-5 days of training, the dog will have an immediate response to ask the owner for food when he hears his owner call his name. When feeding is scheduled, the same basin should be used, but the feeding location can be changed over and over again. After feeding, you must rub the dog's head or whole body with your hand, and gently call your name several times. through the training of the above days, the goal is that the dog can be close to people and initially know his own name. preliminary habit collar and the range of activities limited by the chain.

At this stage, the dog can be led by a chain to walk with people, familiarize himself with the surrounding things and environment, and reduce fear. If the dog struggles during the lead, stop. At this time, you can use your hands to touch its head and back, call its name, give it a small amount of food to lure, let it follow forward, must not be forced to pull. This kind of training should be carried out before feeding every day, for 2-3 minutes at a time, and then increase slowly later, no more than 15 minutes at most.

3. The third stage is 15-22 days. On the basis of the previous stage of training, you can pick up the dog and play with it. On the basis of the command to "sit", it can be forced to lie down. When disobedient can be slightly reprimanded, obeyed orders can be given a small amount of food reward, and praise the password to say "yes", while constantly stroking its head and body, let it get a sense of warmth and intimacy. Through the third stage of training, we can basically reach the dog that opens the chain, can come to the owner after hearing its name in the field, and obey the master to pick it up, lead, break the mouth and feed medicine, and know the password of reprimand and reward.
