Well, I use the litter box but he will only go in there about 6 times out of 10. I have tried to give him lots of praise when he does go in there, but it doesn't help. Also, WHEN he DOES go in there, because he is a 'big boy' and lifts his leg when he pees, it sometimes goes right over the edge onto the floor anyway. I am starting to wonder why I even bother because it seems like I am always cleaning up after him anyway! </P><P>Does anyone have any ideas or tips for chihuahuas?? Are they able to be trained to go outside?? Are there litter boxes with extra-tall walls for 'big boys' who lift their legs?? HELP!Mon, 31 Dec 2007 13:32:38 GMTAlohaMeegs
