Any dog can be trained to protect and guard. Even a Chihuahua can make an excellent deterrent, if a noisy alert is what's called for.

The Chow Chow breed is generally independent and aloof, watchful towards strangers, and territorial. These can be seen as positive attributes in a guard dog temperament. That said, training a Chow can be quite a challenge to train. The breed usually requires an experienced leader, and is not a breed for the first-time dog owner.

Are Chow Chows easy to train?

A chihuahua is like most dogs...takes time and patience to train them. I've found through my 7 year old chihuahua that she was quite easy to potty train...used a lot of positive reinforcement. When she peed where I wanted her to go, I gave her plenty of "good girls"...and at the age of 7 I still do that. Make it a happy and exciting experience for your puppy and they'll do whatever you want or need them to do. A chihuahua lives to please it's owner...they learn fairly quickly if given the right guidance.
