Question

my dog is a chiuhihua and is 15 yrs old he has never been leash trained . well now i live in apartment and people is complaining when he goes on there side . what can i do

Answer 1

put him on a leash in the house at first sit on the floor in front of him and coax him with treats and toys (make sure your holding the leash) Once he moves even if a slight movement use lots of praise keep doing this as many times as you can he will get used to it it will just take a bit of time.......

Good luck  

Answer 2

I'm assuming that you have talked to the neighbors.  I'm also assuming that you clean up after the dog and this is not why they are complaining.  That being said you may have to find a way to keep the dog on your side, even if that means leash training your dog or even taking it to the dog park instead of the yard.

Answer 3

put him on a leash

Answer 4

Put him on a leash and get him used to it! He's a toy breed for goodness sake, they weigh like 2 ounces, how hard can it be to leash train him? LOL.

EDIT: Get him a harness. You are way stronger than him.

Answer 5

Can you set up an exercise pen on your side?That way he can be loose but relieve himself in only one area.

Answer 6

Hi, Yes you can train him Its never too late, however it might take a bit longer with an older dog. Put his lead on him indoors and encourage him to follow you with a treat. Be patient and  do this until he's happy about it then venture outside. You'll soon be walking out to the park etc and you'll be amazed how much you both will enjoy it!!

Answer 7

While it is rather late, it's not TOO late to leash train him.  Dog training is not only to have an obedient pet or to please the neighbors, but it's primarily for the dog's safety.  Get a collar, a leash, and be patient.
