Chihuahuas teethe from four to six months, therefore mouthing is quite usual then. Though mouthing is not biting, it can grow aggressive in your chiwawa to be tolerable. In addition, controlling this habit gets more and more challenging day-by-day so it is better to get rid of this habit at an early age.

Mouthing can turn into a way for chihuahua puppies to try to control you, permitting them to take that first step towards assuming a leadership role inside your home.The subsequent ways are suggested for most puppies up to four months of age, depending upon their size.

Just like infants, a teacup chihuahua goes across the teething process. It is a normal habit of puppies of all breeds to use their mouth to look into the environment.

Providing appropriate objects for a chihuahua to focus on can at times be an easy way of resolving a mouthing problem. Undestroyable chew toys like large nylon bones or hard rubber Kongs can provide a positive outlet for mouthing. Large rawhide bones and carrots can be put in the freezer and given to a teething puppy. Braided fiber bones dipped in chicken broth or water and then frozen are also a nice option.

If your puppy is chewing on you, the instant the pressure raises use your "hurt puppy' noise leaving your hand in his mouth. Once the pressure is released, gradually remove your hand.

You may desire to offer the back of your hand for your long haired chihuahua to lick. By doing this, not only are you instructing him that our skin is tender, but also that you expect a sign of deference (licking your hand) for their action.

Reward the pup for his good behavior. Puppies reacts eagerly and immediately to rewards that propel. Another method which can be used is to train your puppy to follow your commands and gestures.

Does your chihuahua puppy start mouthing you if you don't respond when he wants to? Is he continually tripping you up, or starting to play tug-o-war with the leash when you're trying to walk him? Is he uncooperative when you direct him to do something like not to jump or bite? If the answer is yes, you may have a bossy or dominant pup. With this kind of pup you have to use a little more discipline.
