Re: [Chihuahuas] New Chi Mommy Needs Advice

[KAT]

Marsha and several of the others gave you some excellent advice, I don't think that I could add to it. In answer to your question about training methods, I trained our little 6 mo. old chi "Tia" the same way that I've trained all of the other dogs that I've had in my lifetime and she was just as easy to train as the other breeds that I have had (Doberman, Miniature Poodle, Shiba Inu). However, everything that I have read says that toy breeds can be more difficult to train but in Tia's case this wasn't true. Kat & "Tia" Jerseee Lass wrote: I appreciate the advice several of you have given me regarding the pup being too young to be away from it's mother at 7.5 weeks. I will call the breeder tonight. When I was there he had the four pups together in a playpen and they were eating puppy chow and they had water. He said the first time he gave the pups the puppy chow they went right to it and ate it readily. The mother and father were nearby, but not with the pups. I believe he said he does put the pups together with the mother most of the time, but separates them so the pups can eat the chow. Is this the correct thing for him to be doing? They are 6.5 weeks old. I have another question. I've seen online DVDs claiming to tell you how to train chis specifically. In the ads they say that chis require training methods that differ from other breeds and their product will let you in on the 'secrets'. Any truth to this??Lucy in NJ __._,_.___ " Lets talk about our wonderful little friends! Join today!
