Should I Crate Train My Chihuahua?

Many people think the idea of a Chihuahua being confined in a small crate is cruel. However, crate training works extremely well, and your Chihuahua should actually enjoy being in it; as long as you don't punish them with it.

If your Chihuahua isn't housebroken yet, purchase a crate just large enough for your Chihuahua to stand up and walk around in. Keep your Chihuahua in their crate during the night and when noone is there to watch them, to avoid them from having accidents. Most animals, Chihuahuas included, wont go potty where they have to sleep. Just take them out first thing when you get up in the morning.

Use some old blankets or towels to make a comfy bedding for your Chihuahua. If you have ever owned a Chihuahua, you know they love to sleep on soft blankets. Make their crate nice, and they will love staying in it.

Don't keep your Chihuahua cooped up in their crate for long periods of time. They need exercise and room to run around and play. Leaving your Chihuahua in a crate all the time can lead to health problems.

Never punish your Chihuahua by making them go to their crate. You want them to like it, not hate it.
