How long does it take to potty train a Chihuahua?

Answer 1

Chi's LOVE spending time with their humans, and that helps with training. But chi's can also be bull headed and strong willed. I had my chi potty trained within a couple of days. Teaching her to sit was also easy, but teaching her down was much more difficult. She saw no point in down, when she was sitting...and when she was sitting she thought she deserved her treat. When training keep it short, and train here and there...that will keep them interested...they do lose interest easily. And if possible make training a game, but be careful if using treats as a reward...chi's do gain weight fairly easily.

Answer 2

It depends on the individual dog, his temperament, intelligence, age, and life experiences. A young dog can be trained in as little as a month once he has sphincter control so long as he has had no opportunity to toilet inside. A dog who has been toileting inside, and has succeeded in doing it without being interrupted more than three times may take as much as a year to fully train.

Answer 3

I brought my little puppy. He is half Chi and Hald Pom and the Vet told us that he will be house trained in about 12-16 weeks old!
