Happiness Is A Safe Chihuahua Puppy
from:For training and for your puppy's safety, only use Chihuahua
puppy names that are sensible. They need to sound different from
any command words, get the pup's attention and be two syllables
or less. Chihuahua puppies are newborns and should be treated
like a human newborn. They need constant supervision, their
health checked several times a day and need to be fed a quality
dog food, not people food. Feed Chihuahua puppies only dog or
puppy food, as people food can give them a case of lethal
diarrhea. It is far easier to voice train Chihuahua puppies than
it is to train a human kid!
Watch out! The Chihuahua puppies are coming! Are you ready? Are
you sure? Any puppy is a lifetime commitment, including a
Chihuahua puppy, but no puppy will be as small as a Chihuahua.
Because of their tiny size and their complete lack of fear, they
will get into trouble that can get them killed. The good news is
that all of these dangers are preventable.
Keep any toxic chemicals, cleansers, people medications or
chocolate out of the reach of your new Chihuahua puppy. Get
childproof locks for cabinets if you have to. If you keep plants
indoors or outdoors, look them up to see if they are toxic. Just
a nibble may be lethal for Chihuahua puppies. Get rid of any
plant you are unsure of. Spray bitter apple or a dog chew
deterrent on any electric wires that you can't move, cover or
tape up onto a wall. This spray is available in any pet store.
You need to call your Chihuahua puppy away from potential
dangers such as chocolate, cleansers, slug bait, other dogs,
laundry machines and even a fall out of a window. Keep treats on
you or a special little squeaky toy to reward your Chihuahua
puppy for looking at you and then coming over to you. Never hit
or yell at the pup after they have obeyed and come over - even
if you feel like it. This will teach them that coming to your
side will get them smacked or screamed at. Would you want to go
near anyone who did that to you?
When Chihuahua puppies run free in the home, being stepped on by
a human being can kill them. To prevent this just shuffle or
scuff your feet across the floor, never picking them up. Open
and close your doors really slowly to avoid a collision with the
pup. Check underneath cushions before sitting down. This all
becomes second nature after a couple of days.
If you bought your Chihuahua puppy from a breeder, you probably
noticed the slow, shuffling walk they use, never picking their
feet off of the floor. This is to prevent any accidental
stepping on the Chihuahua puppies. For this reason, you should
never get a Chihuahua puppy if you have a young, active child.
Also, load your laundry one piece of clothing at a time to be
sure the puppy did not mistake the laundry basket for a bed.
Chihuahua puppies are actually stronger than some other slim
breeds of dogs, namely the Italian Greyhound. They are also one
of the most intelligent breeds of dog and learn about house
safety in a matter of weeks (as opposed to years in a human
child). Teach your puppy his or her name as soon as possible.
Keep any Chihuahua puppy names short, in case you have to call
them away from any potential danger.
