How To Stop Chihuahua From Biting?<\/strong><br><strong>Ans:<\/strong> The best way to stop your feisty chihuahua from biting you is by keeping your hands away from your mouth. It is the very first step you need to follow to train them that biting people is wrong. Secondly, you need to provide a tug rope or a chew rope to satisfy his biting urges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you succeed, then reward him by offering small treats from the palm of your hand. Always discourage and use loud tones when he tries to bite your hands or fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q2. How To Tame An Aggressive Chihuahua?<\/strong><br><strong>Ans:<\/strong> There are various ways to stop your Chihuahua from behaving aggressively like, taking on an aggressive stance, growling or snapping, coming to attack or bite you, growling at you, and so on. In the beginning, you can start by adding distractions, focusing his aggression on other things like a soft toy, or trying to change the situation completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also command him the \u2018sit-stay\u2019 or \u2018down-stay\u2019 and reward him when he obeys you. Always change rewards and praise him for good or calm behavior. After training your dog completely, do a socializing test, and if he acts playful and calm, then reward that behavior often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q3. How To Spell Chiwawa Dog?<\/strong><br><strong>Ans:<\/strong> Many dog lovers face difficulties while pronouncing the word, \u201cChihuahua\u201d. Some people spell it \u201cChi-hooa-hooa\u201d which is completely wrong. Well, to make it easier for you, the name is spelled Chee-Waa-Waa. While spelling this pronunciation out loud, you will notice how your mouth movies when you say \u201cWaa-Waa\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when you make the \u201cHoo-A\u201d sound, there is no \u201cWa\u201d sound in it. The spelling is \u201cHua-Hua\u201d but the sound \u201cWa\u201d has an ancient Mexican origin. Moreover, the word Chihuahua belongs to the Nahuatl origin (Central Mexico), which is itself pronounced as \u201cNa-wa-tel\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q4. Are Chihuahuas Good Guard Dogs?<\/strong><br><strong>Ans:<\/strong> Undoubtedly yes! Chihuahuas are said to be great guard dogs because they are animated and loyal to their human parents. These characteristics make them the perfect candidate for a protective dog. Furthermore, they are wary of outsiders and other intruders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if anyone suspiciously enters your sweet home or aims to intrude on your home, then your furry mate will alert you by barking and make sure the intruder learns a lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q5. Are Chihuahuas Easy To Train?<\/strong><br><strong>Ans:<\/strong> Various dog breeds are bright and can be trained within a day, but some grasp the knowledge pretty fast as compared to other dogs. So talking about Chihuahuas, yes they are very easy to train and considered a little smarter than other breeds for learning stuff quickly.
