Are Chihuahuas hard to potty train?

Yes, Chihuahuas can be challenging to potty train due to their small size and strong-willed personalities. Their tiny bladders mean they need to go more often than larger dogs, which can lead to more accidents if a consistent routine isn’t in place. They’re also smart and a little stubborn, so they may test boundaries or resist training if it’s not clear and consistent.

That said, with patience, positive reinforcement, and a regular schedule, Chihuahuas can learn solid potty habits. Crate training, frequent outdoor trips (especially after meals or naps), and rewarding them right after they go in the right spot can make a big difference. Indoor pee pads can also be helpful, especially in apartments or during bad weather.
