Chihuahuas are great little dogs with a lot of smarts and a lot of personality. Here are some interesting facts about Chihuahuas:

Chihuahuas are the world's smallest dogs, weighing in at four to six pounds at maturity. They have the largest brain when compared to body size of any other breed. The first Chihuahua registered by the American Kennel Club in 1904 was named "Midget."

Chihuahuas make great family pets and live well into their teens. It's important to remember that they do like warmth, and if you live in a northern climate you may have to dress them on cold days.

Anyway, here are some training tips. Due to their size, there are some steps that you can take to make it easier.

Chihuahuas are delicate dogs and this should be taken into consideration when training. It is not a good idea to use choke collars on Chihuahuas. A flat buckle collar or harness would be a better option. A Chihuahua's trachea and neck can be easily inured.

Put the flat collar and leash on your Chihuahua. Get your treats ready, and make sure that you are ready to train. Never train when you are upset, tired or angry.

Use a table to train your Chihuahua. It can be hard on your back bending all the way down to train. Place your Chihuahua on the table.

Once your dog is on the table you can start to train sit, down, stand, and stay commands. You can also teach your Chihuahua tricks like roll over, give paw, and high five.

Never leave your Chihuahua unattended on a table when you're finished training. Make sure your training sessions are short and fun. Always reward your Chihuahua for doing the right behaviors.

By following these steps you can develop a great relationship with your Chihuahua.
