How To Make Your Chihuahua Love Their Clothes

To many Chihuahuas, getting dressed up in Chihuahua clothes is about as fun as a bath. But, why don’t they like getting dressed up? It doesn’t hurt them, and it’s not uncomfortable. In fact, most Chihuahua clothes are made of cotten, making them very soft.

Chihuahuas have it in their instincts to be hesitant of unfamiliar objects. If you’ve ever owned a Chihuahua before, you have probably seen them back away from objects like the vacuum cleaner, broom, kids toys, and other objects. This is because they don’t know what these objects are, or what they can do, so they keep their distance from them. Some Chihuahuas are hesitant of Chihuahua clothes for the same reason; they have no clue what they are. However, you can help your Chihuahua realize what t is, and that it is a good thing by following some simple steps.

  • Treats - Treats are a Chihuahua’s best friend, and can be used to teach your Chihuahua that getting dressed up in Chihuahua clothes is a fun time! Each time you you want to put clothes on your Chihuahua, give them their favorite doggie treat. After a couple times of recieving treats for being dressed up, your Chihuahua will start to associate the treats with the Chihuahua clothes, and before you know it, your Chihuahua will start to get excited when it’s time to get dressed up! One of my Chihuahuas actually starts jumping around all excited when I pull out my Chihuahua clothes box, so you know they must like it.
  • Be Gentle - Chihuahuas are small, and have delicate skin, which is why it is important to be gentle when putting clothes on your Chihuahua. Always take your time, and if the shirt doesn’t fit, don’t force it. Remember, Chihuahua clothes come in all different shapes and sizes, so find some that will fit your Chihuahuas body comfortably.
  • Practice, Practice, Practice - As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Take time practicing taking the clothes on and off of your Chihuahua. Since Chihuahua clothes don’t exactly go on like our clothes, it can be confusing the first couple of times. However, after you practice a couple times, you should become familiar with how they go on and off. Plus, your Chihuahua will start to become used to it. It’s a win-win situation.
