If you have small children make sure a child won't inadvertently cause injury to the dog. Since Chihuahuas have slight bodies, it is necessary to explain children that careless handling can injure this small dog. Involve children to take care of the dog, allow to feed and walk, but only under supervision. It is necessary the child to know that there's another family member who needs care. Over time, the child and the puppy will be friends and will get along with each other.

Many believe Chihuahua is a "sofa" dog, but it is not true. These dogs are very intelligent and respond well to training. If you do not want your dog to become uncontrollable, then do not put off its education and training for the future.
Chihuahua are well adapted to different conditions of keeping. They will feel good themselves both in the apartment and in the house. These dogs prefer a cozy vacation at home than long walks in fresh air. Most of the dogs don't tolerate wet and cool weather. Therefore, always wear your pet when it's cold outside. But not only the cold is dangerous for its health. Long time in the heat or on the sun can adversely affect the health of your pet. Dogs, like humans, are exposed to heat and sunstroke. So try not to walk with the little dog on a hot day and give it more water. It is better to wait for the evening, when the sun is not so harmful.
Chihuahua needs good trimming to look well. Long-haired and flat-coated breeds need constant care (washing and combing). Bathe your pet once a month. Hot water cleans the pores and removes dead hair. Also, constant care of claws, teeth and ears of the dog is important. There's a lot of necessary things at pet stores to do that.
