What to do if your Chihuahua’s ears don’t stand up
0 Jul 26,2025
First, let the Teddy learn to squat quietly in front of you. Before training, give the "sit" command and order the Teddy dog to sit in front of you. During the initial training, it is best to let the dog wear a collar. After ordering the dog to sit down, the owner can also squat down.
Second, after the Teddy dog sits down and stabilizes, you can gently scratch its left front foot with your hands. This is mainly to stimulate the Teddy dog to stretch out its front paws. When Teddy's left front foot naturally lifts, the owner can take the opportunity to hold the dog's front foot and say "shake hands" to it.
Third, after shaking hands, you can gently put down the dog's front paws, and at the same time issue the command "put it down", and then order the Teddy dog to sit quietly. If the dog can successfully complete these trainings, parents should praise it unceremoniously, encourage it, and slowly guide Teddy to form a habit.
PS: When training Teddy dogs to shake hands, you must persist and train every day. You can train three times a day. Of course, the training time should be kept at about 15 minutes. Each training time should not be too long, and the Teddy dog needs to be trained every day.
