Steps to Potty Train Chiweenie Puppies

Chiweenie puppies are tiny, and due to the small bladder, they can’t hold pee for a longer duration! Check out the following steps to potty train your Chiweenie puppy:

Restrict Your Puppy To One Area

• Establish a ‘home base’ for your Chiweenie puppy to restrict it to one designated area.
• Use small gates or a puppy playpen, or use a small room, like a laundry room, for potty training.

 

Set Feeding and Potty Schedule

• Follow a strict schedule for feeding your puppy and for bathroom breaks.
• Supervise ‘the bathroom breaks’; ensure that it doesn’t get distracted in the middle.

 

Schedule Frequent Walks

• Take your puppy for walks multiple times in a day – when it wakes up, has food, drinks, and plays.
• Offer a treat when it does the business outside; it helps the pet to learn the acceptable way to discharge.

 

Use Voice Commands

• Use voice commands to potty train a Chiweenie.
•  Use commands like ‘Outside!’ or ‘Potty!’ while taking it out.

 

Paper Training

• Keep soaking potty pads near their sleeping area. 
• Gradually increase the distance to take the pee pads outside the home.

 

Litter Box Training

• Place your puppy into a litter box and wait. Reward them with a treat for using the litter box.
• Encourage it to use it every time. Reward-based training helps to develop good habits.
