How do I stop my chihuahua from stepping in her mess?

My chihuahua goes to the bathroom and then steps in it. I drive my fiancee to work in the morning and leave her in the bathroom to do her business. I am only gone for about 45 minutes, so I thought what could be the worst thing that could happen. Well I came home and she had stepped in her poo and pee and was jumping all over my bathroom. There was poop everywhere, on my floor, toilet,walls and vanity. I couldn’t believe it she was running in it and she thought it was great. She is only 5 months old so i hope she grows out of it. Is that normal and how can I break the habit? We trained her to go on her pads which she is still learning, but she seems so excited after she just steps in it and not just once.

How do I stop my chihuahua from chewing his paws?

My husband and I recently got a long-haired Chihuahua. We really love him. He is so cute and he is such a good dog but he keeps chewing on his feet. He chews on them very hard and I don’t know if this is normal or not. Is this something that they do or is there something I can do to his paws or something I can put on his paws to stop him from doing this?

My chihuahua has developed brown spots all over, is this normal?

My chihuahua is almost 2 years old. He developed brown spots on his skin, but they seem to have appeared over night. He is a fawn color, but these spots are on his skin, back, and tummy. He doesn’t act like he is itching or anything. Do you think that he is ok?

How do I get my chihuahua puppy to stop biting?

Hi my dog almost 2 months old. I know she is just a puppy but the biting us is killing me. We replace our hands or feet with a toy and tell her no but she goes right back to biting. Not only does it hurt but im afraid she is going to be aggressive to us and others and I want to avoid that. I would appreciate your advice.

Do toy dogs and small breed dogs take longer for their soft spots to close?

True or False:
Small and toy breed dogs take longer for their soft spots to close?
My breeder says because the puppy’s soft spot hasn’t closed that there is a chance for seizures, temporary blindness, etc for the first year. Is this just typical for small breeds, or is something really wrong with this puppy?
