Dog training question [View All]

[bigwillq]

My boyfriend just got a teacup Chihuahua. It's three months old and he's trying to train it.

We keep it in a cage when he's at work and when it's time for us to go to bed. The rest of the time, it usually stays out with us. We let it run around and play.

What are the best ways to train it???

It seems to poop and pee in the cage sometimes but when it was out before it started to poop on the floor but we caught it and put the dog back into the cage so it can finish the job. Then, when it was just out like an hour ago, it peed on the floor.

My b/f bought a litter pan and tries to put it in there. He also bought this spray stuff that says you should spray it on the places you want that dog to urinate on. Doesn't seem to work.

I'm just looking for a bit of advice. I know I can google (if I posted this in GD, I'm sure they would remind me of that) but I like personal experience over anything I read over the internets.

Thanks for the help! :hi:
