Housebreaking a Chihuahua can be a challenge, but there’s also humor that can be derived from the experience.

1. Figure Out Your Dog’s Schedule

A dog’s digestive system is interesting when you think about it. Take out a special notepad you can use to keep track of times throughout the day and night when your dog needs to go to the bathroom. What you should realize is that your dog usually has to go after a nap, after playtime, and after eating. It may be strange to be writing down your pet’s bathroom habits, but it’ll definitely help you predict the next time you need to rush out the door with your dog in your arms to prevent a mess in the house.
