I have had chihuahua's 25 years and mine have always been trained to puppy pads or paper. It was a lot easier when I was showing them. I didn't have to leave the motel room in the morning and walk the dogs. Now I have one with an enlarged heart and I don't take her out too often. She is not supposed to get too much exercise but she still wants to play like a puppy and she is 11 years old. They have very small digestive tracks and bladders. While I see that your terriers lived to a riped old age I think 13 hours is too long to leave any dog. I know what shape I'd be in. A chihuahua will not get any where near that expectation.

A friend gave me a male and female from the same litter and they are now 14 months old. I received them in February paper trained. I decided to crate train them to house break them and right now it is Tippy and Babs, 10 Owner 0. They do fairly well in their crates but if I let them roam the kitchen (they are gated in the kitchen when I am home) there will be accidents. I had two terriers (bro and sis) that died this past winter at 16 and they were crate trained in a month and could hold it for up to 13 hours without an accident. Does any one have a possible solution to help me finish crate training/house breaking 14 month old Babs and Tippy? Thanks, Frank The best games are on Xbox 360.
