How to Teach a Chihuahua to Leave It
Training a Chihuahua to master "Impulse control around food, objects, and hazards" works best when you account for the breed's temperament. With a trainability of 3/5 and an energy level of 3/5, the Chihuahua responds well to short, consistent, reward-based sessions. Keep the breed's common challenges — excessive barking, small-dog syndrome, housetraining difficulty — in mind as you work through this intermediate skill.
